So I started this other blog about my faith. And it is totally great. I really love to write about Jesus, and I really love to learn about Jesus. But funny story, I find that there's this whole other side of me that is starting to emerge and it just kind of snuck up on me, so I decided to indulge. Why not?
What's this other side? Well it's the single christian mom. She's not lonely, but she is kind of a head-case. And I think she just wants some validation that she isn't crazy.
So hello, my name is Jocelynn. I am a single christian mom and I have been for 13 years, by tax standards. Never been married.. gotten close a few times, but never quite there. And now that my boy is 13 there's a strange transition going on... I'm realizing that I have to get a life outside of my son! (OH DEAR GOD).
No one ever warns you about what happens after the whole total dependence thing starts to go away.. no diapers need changing, no bottles to warm, and he pretty much takes care of himself in the eating department. So yeah, here I am with a growing child who is at the age where he can pretty much take care of himself.
AND not only am I a single mom, but I'm a single CHRISTIAN mom. That seems to be a huge red flag to people these days. I must be a strange species because I don't get my jollies "clubbing it up". Sorry about that, it's just never been a desire of mine to go to a place packed full of people drunk and rubbing up against one another. Pretty gross to me. Hey, if you like that kind of thing I am in no way judging you, I just don't. I like hiking and going to the beach and spending time writing, but that's just me.
The problem with all of this is that I'm slowly discovering that unless some guy pops into my life, well I think I'm just going to end up a single christian spinster. Maybe I should just go buy my birds, cats and rocking chair now. UGH. What a life.
But hey.. it can't be that bad... can it????
