Being "single"
On Sunday I pretty much had a lazy ?me? day and I can to the conclusion that I like being ?single.? The day gave me a lot of time to think about stuff. I like not having to ask permission to have dinner with friends or to watch something on T.V. And I actually look forward to getting a job when I am done with school and getting an apt for just Aiden and me. I feel like I get to just be my self now and do things that make myself happy for once. It may sound odd, but it is a nice feeling.
I guess that is my little update for now. 
School starts back up next week and Aiden starts pre-school! I will post more about that latter because I am kinda nervous but very excited for him! Plus I think we found a really amazing pre-school for him to go to.
Re: Being "single"
I know what you mean, sometimes I miss being single. Being a single mom really isn't the end of the world. It's nice to have the pride of knowing that you are working to provide a safe and loving home for your child and empowering to know that you are doing it without the benefit of having help 24/7.
I also told DH when we had DS that it was going to be a lot harder because he doesn't have a third parent that we can ship him off to for a week so we can take a vacation.
Which is not to say that I don't miss DD when she's gone, but sharing custody has its silver lining.

I am so glad to hear that the transition was a smooth one!
Whenever I am picking up my H's dirty clothes off the floor, or his q-tips that didn't quite make the trash I often wonder what it's like to be single too, LOL. Ha. So enjoy your time not cleaning up after someone else!

I felt really guilty at first when I would enjoy my time without DD and go out. Now, I sort of look at it like xH is having to step up to the plate and be a parent since I'm not there to do the job. In effect, it's improving their relationship, which is a huge benefit to her.
I know exactly how you feel. I thought being single was the end of the world, now I love it. I do miss having adult conversation sometimes but the last few years I wasnt getting that from him anyways so, truly, Im not missing much.
I am so happy to hear that you and A are doing good and adjusting well
Well said, Nicole.
