A Single Daddy’s Blog

Single Parenting from a Father’s Perspective.

Today is Anastasia’s birthday! She turns 11 today. We celebrated with our family this past weekend, I made cupcakes for her class today. Then we are going to the Apple store tonight to get her one last gift. I gave her the option of splitting the cost of an iPod Touch for her birthday. She wants one really bad and I could not justify spending the another $200 when I already spent that on more on her other gifts. ;)

Anyway, Happy Birthday to my little girl. She is growing up way too fast.

I have been swamped with new clients, Anastasia flooding a bathroom and being out of school on spring break and a bunch of other things that have decided to elude my memory at this point in the middle of the night.

So, I will be back writing soon, till then, don’t let your little ones experiment with q-tips, a wad of toilet paper and a toilet bowl, it’s just not worth the $200 plumber bill. o.O

I learned that in spanish class when I was in high school. Of course I learned it in spanish and I still remember how to say it in spanish, I am just not sure how to type it.

Anastasia has had a tough time keeping her mouth closed these days. To the extent she has completely pissed off the assistant principle and a few teachers. She argues with everyone. Disrespects most everyone and generally has a bad attitude.

Nothing is different in our lives. Nothing has changed. Nothing new has started. So why, why is she acting out like this?

She got to bite into a bar of soap last night for cursing and yelling. I am not happy about it, although what else can I do? I tried the nice talks, the mean talks, yelling, spanking, grounding and just about everything else.

She has spring break coming up, maybe she just needs a break from school.

I have been trying to get this blog and keep it updated although I have been pretty busy. Working for myself in this economy is NOT easy. And since I am the only provider for Anastasia, if I am not making money, no one else is for us.

So, I hope you bare with me while I work my butt off trying to make some money to get my daughter and I ahead in the world.

Thanks.
