Hello world, it's me again. Thanksgiving weekend is over and Monday is quickly approaching. I am dreading the return to work....I have had the last 24 hours to myself. Umm, let me rephrase that, I have had the last 24 hours with no phone calls to interrupt the silence.

In the professional world, I am an accountant and supervisor of a small staff. Due to circumstances beyond my control, the staff I have had has turned over completely this year. My staff is on M-F 5am to 9pm and Sat 5:30am to 6:30pm. Which means these are my hours too.....I am really feeling burnt, well I guess 85 hours a week can do that to a girl. And that's just work, never mind the mommy, landlord and personal responsibilities adding to the already full week...(Man Prince Charming would be welcomed with open arms right about now.)

It's time for a change....but when everything needs changing where does one start? And where does one get the energy to make these changes?

Imagine a huge floor with dominoes all set up on it in a very intricate pattern - your challenge is to it the right domino so that they all go down the right way at the same time.....which one do you knock down first? If its the wrong one, will all the others refuse to fall?

Ok I guess it has to start somewhere .....Monster dot com here I come. I will start the job search first (pay for work).....then work on a new house (looking for something insulated with a yard out of the city)...and if a personal life somewhere falls into the mix well, yeah!

Ok, off to polish up the resume.....wish me luck in my search.

Blessings,
Super

Hello,

This is my first blogging experience, and I hope you all will be patient with me. I thought I would try this for a release....thoughts, ideas, dream formulation, rants and raves. I warn you now, punctuation and grammar are not my strong points. If they were I would be writing professionally. lol

So a bit about me....I am a happily (really!!!) divorced mom of a 6yo boy. Full time mom, full time employee, part time student, landlord and single. I guess I might be considered in my mid life crisis.....of course mid life is hard to define today....but I will be turning 40 next year and have begun to once again live life for me. What does that mean? Well when my son is with his dad, I am trying to do things for me. All the things I want to do....traveling, exploring, learning etc.

I have tried to get back into the dating pool.....but unfortunately, instead of finding myself in the crystal clear, olympic sized top of the line pool I am wading in about a half inch of water that has been sitting all winter....stale and icky. Not even fun to splash in. Any one with me here? Have you been on some of the online dating sites out there? You got to pick your way thru a bakers dozen before you can find a potential possibility. I am 39 and I have had gentlemen in their +60's hit on me......ewwww. Anna doesn't live here. And on those first dates to make sure you haven't chosen the serial killer, you have your check in call, give your girlfriends all the available stats (which you hope are true and accurate) just in case you don't show up for work on Monday.

What has happened to all the great men? Is the saying true? Are all the good ones married or gay?

After some final Christmas shopping today, I took myself to a well deserved lunch. I went to the local steak joint and situated myself at the bar. There was a woman with her daughter, an elderly couple and two men who I would estimate to be in their early thirty's. Base ball hats on and enough profanity to make a trucker blush.(no offense intended to anyone)

Hats are made for bad hair days and supporting your team at a game. Take them off fellas!!! And after hearing them oogle the waitresses, then continue with the colorful conversation....you could see why they were single. Do guys really think they are attractive drooling and foul mouthed.....stand up guys, if your interested, put your best foot forward, and be bold. Let a girl know find her attractive - give her your number....or ask for hers.

Lord help us single women. And for those of you who aren't single look at the man your with and appreciate him for what he is (if you can) and forgive all the little flaws.

Blessings be.
