When I was growing up, all I wanted in life was to be a mother, and a wife. In school they would always give you those "where do you see yourself in 10 years" assignments. I sometimes wonder as an adult why that wasn't more alarming to the teachers, but maybe the world was not as feminist friendly back then. I did get pregnant pretty young ( I timed it perfectly to be 8 months pregnant with Caiden when I turned 21, it was a real party) but defiantly did not get married. My ex and I officially broke up for the last time (although I didn't know if until years later) during my pregnancy with Jake. Here I was a single mother of 2 kids, which limited my dating pool majorly, and then having a child with special needs, it is impossible for me to give time to someone to properly for a relationship.
For a long period of time this was depressing to me, it wasnt part of the plan. I was supposed to be married, I was supposed to have someone that I could depend on and not face all of this alone. The thing i've realized in life is that nothing goes as I plan. My child having Autism was not in the plans either, and I realize that I was given different plans all together. I don't need a partner, or a house with a white picket fence, I will take my house with rainbow colored puzzle pieces any day! Besides I already found the loves of my life, Wine and Netflix. Obviously my children are the loves of my lives, no guy will ever treat me better than them. My 3 year old will just come up and tell me I'm pretty, or ask me to dance, also he tells me 30 times a day I'm his best friend and like in the movies, he even asks if he can kiss me. His future girlfriend (or boyfriend, I'm a judge free mommy) can thank me for it later. Caiden not to be outdone is the strong, silent type. He never talks back, never tries to fight me because we both know I'm right anyways, plus he's got the most beautiful eyes you have ever seen. There is no way a man could come close to topping them, so why even bother.
I'm not saying if a Marvel Chris (Hemsworth, Evans, Pratt) type came to my door to sweep me off my feet, and they were wonderful with my kids, that I wouldn't be open to giving it a shot. I'm just saying that if I end up alone in love, I'm okay with it.
Call me :)
