Answers are finally in! Sorry it took me a week to get them out. "Single-mom-ville" definitely keeps me preoccupied and on my feet. Now, I'm finally OFF my feet, sitting on the couch with my laptop and watching "Home Alone" with my 9 year old little dude. I have 15 minutes to spit this out, because soon I will be anxiously engaged in creating works of art with my kids and their friends: gingerbread houses. AND I'm going to need an extra dose of willpower to stave off the bags of candies and chocolates to decorate with. HELP!! I CAN DO IT!! haha!
