Welcome to Solitary Parenthood - My Mission

Hey everyone.  My name is Tansy.  I am kind of new into the world of solitary parenthood.  I have been separated from my husband since Oct 2010, but am living on my own with my children (without family/friends/etc) for the first time ever.


A little about me:  I'm 27 years old and work for a large retail company.  I've been with said company for 5 years now.  I merchandise in the store, which means I am in charge of placing the product.  I enjoy my job most of the time.  ;)  I have two kids.  My daughter, Shia, is 7.  My son, Gavin, is 4.  We also have a puppy named Yoshi, who will be a year old in June.


I'm starting this blog because I have found more and more that I am learning all kinds of things through my mistakes that I know could save other people the trouble of going through the same things.  They say hind sight is 20/20.  And they are right.  It's crazy to me to look back on my life, mostly on my marriage, and think that at one point, that was my life.  I was a totally different person.


I am many things in my life.  I am a mom.  I am a merchandiser.  I am a maid.  I am a chef.  I am poor.  I am happy.  But above all, I am proud.  I am proud of myself for getting to this point where I can look at my life and see all the bullshit and garbage that happens, but at the end of the day, I'm still happy.  I still love my life.


Through this blog, I plan to touch on many sensitive issues.  I plan to talk about money, relationships, chaos, and happiness.  I will be sharing my personal experiences.  And I will be sharing my opinions.  If you can't handle that, you are more than welcome to leave my blog and never come back.  My feelings will not be hurt. :)  If you stay, I hope you learn something, or at the very least get some sort of entertainment from my life.


Welcome to solitary parenthood!
