Day One

So i finally started a blog. Somewhere to get out all the crazy things that happen in my life on a daily basis. Being a single mom is not easy. Parenting itself is not easy much less doing it alone. Most days I feel like I'm going at this thing blindfolded. I have no idea how to be a mom and raise a child. Grace is like my test subject. We just go at it and we'll see how it turns out I guess. Ideally she'll come out of this a good solid grounded kid, and we'll come out of it with a solid friendship. I try my best. Guess we'll see what happens!!

We had our second emergency room trip today. Apparently Grace is pretty good at those childproof lids on medicines. Got into a bottle of my cough syrup. I came downstairs to find purple cough syrup all over the floor and a big mischievous grin on her face. So- not knowing how much she had actually drank called for a trip to the hospital. Three hours later she was fine and I was tired and hungry. So this is parenting. Is 23 too young for gray hairs? Because I swear I probably gained a few today. So much for my day off to clean the house. That went out the window. But i'm thankful that Grace is ok.

Well the little troublemaker just woke up from her nap- so it's time for apple juice and fruit snacks!
