The Single Life

I have decided that Iam going to attempt to take this blogging thing more seriously. From what I understand not updating on a very regular basis is REALLY annoying, not that anyone reads this, but they may someday. I have sat and thought about the really great blogs of my friends and colleagues, and I have come to the realization that I have nothing to add to their absolutely brilliant thoughts and musings about midwifery. My relationship with midwifery is in it's infancy (pun intended) and I don't want to rob the profession of it's dignity with my forced attempts at coherency, if that's even a word. Where I think my rightful place will be in this journey is to share the day-to-day life of a single mother who also happens to be a midwifery student. Believe me, it's hilarious. At least that is what I keep telling myself when I am seconds away from voluntarily committing myself so that I can have just a few minutes to rest. Add to this the fact that I am soon to be 37 and never married, well you get the picture. The only other single mother in my midwifery class dropped out. That fact is not lost on me, and most days I think of joining her cause this shit is hard. Harder than anything I have ever done before. And at my age to try and date during all of this...... hilarity should ensue.
