TO MY PRESCHOOL GRADUATE
MOM SOLO
by momsolo
3y ago
This is your first of many graduation days. Change is hard. It’s hard to leave and say goodbyes and hard to know that nothing will be the same. We always hope for the next step to be even better than the one we left – but as a woman who has lived a while, I will tell you that sometimes it is not. I’ve tried to cherish every moment of your preschool. I’ve forsaken most of everything to be there. I’ve turned down auditions and jobs. I’ve learned how to stretch a dollar and a credit card to be able to see your growth and your innocence. I’ve read hundreds of picture books, found homes for countle ..read more

I BREAKED UP WITH HER
MOM SOLO
by momsolo
3y ago
I found a lovely drawing in Spense’s school bag; a girl and boy holding hands with hearts all around them. “This is so sweet, Spense. Who is it from?” “Oh, I don’t want that any more.” “Why?” “Because it’s from Ellie. And I breaked up with her.” “Why did you break up with her?” “Because Sam is back. And he’s my best friend.” Sam had been out of town for a while. “So you can’t have a best friend and a wife? Or just two friends? That seems silly because actually you have so many friends.” He just shook his head. “You didn’t tell Ellie you broke up with her, did you?” “No.” “Because that would hu ..read more

CRUSH
MOM SOLO
by momsolo
3y ago
For the last six years, I’ve only had a few crushes. And when I have them, it feels weird. It feels like taking love and energy away from being a mom. From my boy. It makes me wonder about how conventional family moms split their love. They have to allow time and space for mom love and romantic love. I think that’s more of a skill than we realize. I have it easy. I only have to give my love to one person in my family. One kind of love to one little heart. But as my boy gets older, I wonder… can I do it? Am I ready to let in a crush or more? I’m not that single available woman I was for so long ..read more

ARE YOU SEPARATED?
MOM SOLO

3y ago
A lot of people know how I got to be a Mom Solo. It’s no secret. I’m not shy about it. When new acquaintances ask, “do you mind if I ask how…” I always explain. But it’s weird  when I have a brief encounter – like today- buying a karate gee for Spense… I mentioned Spense’s dad, and the merchant made a sad face and whispered, “Are you separated?” “No!” I laughed, “We are best friends.” I realized that didn’t explain anything and I didn’t really need to. I don’t have to give all the details to everyone. I was trying to think of a quick, low effort way to accurately describe us; we were ..read more

WHERE’S THE HAMMER?
MOM SOLO
by momsolo
3y ago
Spense got a Thor doll from my friend Nancy. I lost his hammer. Well, here’s what happened – we were getting out of the car and I was holding 4 bags, juggling keys and almost empty cans of seltzer water to recycle when Spense said, “Mom, hold this,” and slipped the hammer into my hand. I remember thinking the addition of that tiny hammer was making all the carrying so much harder. I remember putting that hammer somewhere and feeling a large sense of relief that my fingers were less encumbered. But I don’t remember where I put that little weapon that is Thor’s identity – his everything. I shoul ..read more
