Hey everyone its single mama Miss Blondie from Good Golly Miss Blondie and this week I’m going to talk about how I spend my weekends. I’m not sure how different it is than married parents but I’ll take you all through mine.

I try to go out one weekend night a week or every other week, remember I gotta meet Prince Charming somehow. Luckily I have a very supportive family and they are always willing to babysit. Other than that I don’t really get a break from him. If I want to go shopping or get my hair done, he tags along. I don’t have the luxury of leaving him with his father, so I can go have some “me” time. I would love to be able to just leave him home and go have lunch with one of my girlfriends, unfortunately I can’t. And all my married friends spend their weekends with their husbands as family time. So that leaves my single friends (with no kids) who are available and because I am always toting my poor son around, he’s used to hanging out with all the adults. He’s like a little old man. My single friends don’t mind at all, its more me because he’s attached at my hip.

Now that he’s getting older, he has the opportunity to go over friends houses and play for a few hours, which gives me time to be alone. And believe me, I cherish those moments. As much as I love spending time with my son, it gets tiring to have to entertain him every single weekend. I do get some alone time at home at night after he’s in bed, which I usually spend blogging because I can actually concentrate and write uninterrupted. So this is just one of the sacrifices we make as moms. No more alone time!

So how do you spend your weekends?

Oh and on a side note, I have a blind date tonight…wish me luck!
