As a 24 year old single mother...I have been doing a lot of thinking. I really need to get my priorities straightened out.
On one side...
Its like I want to be a regular 24 year old - going out and having a good time. I want to be young and have fun. Go out every weekend, dance, drink, and maybe even shoot pool. I want to just let go of all my responsibilities and PARTY! I want to be like most of my friends who can just do what they want when they want becaus they want.
On the other side...
As a mother...I want to stay home and hang with Trent and just have a good time being a mommy. Its so much fun just being with him and I need to give him more of my time. I need to be the one spending weekend nights with him and not a sitter. It is so important for him at this age to have my attention.
Its a constant game of tug-a-war and I am sorry to say that lately going out has been number one on my "weekend to do list".
I need to learn how to balance my life as a single mother, a friend, and a 24 year old. The items on my list of priorities are definately going to be doing some moving around.
