A Good Read 

If you have not yet read one of my all-time favorite bloggers, SOLO MOTHER -- a.k.a, Christina, mother to the four-year-old "King of Everything" -- now is the time to do so. 

In her post today, Christina -- who is mothering solo on the East Coast, with her ex-husband across the globe -- tackles what it means to date again as a single mom.
    
"What is it with dating?" Christina writes. "According to the online dating sites, we’re all healthy, happy, well adjusted men and women who love our jobs, travel the world, save small animals from extinction and take out the trash faithfully on Tuesdays. We’re good listeners, great cuddlers and play nicely with others.
If we’re all so damned fantastic, why are we all single? 


    What about the real details, like how he leaves his underwear in every room of the house, or how she stands in the bedroom doorway talking to you while she flosses her teeth? What about the fetishes, the tantrums, the self-absorption, long work hours, nasty exes, never ending home renovation, snoring, listening- challenged faults and traits we’re all trying so hard to hide? 


    I’ve had it with dating. It’s just too hard."
