Daddy's Home! Can I Pee Alone Now?


I'm Mommy Mentor, Clarissa and I just want to pee alone. I'm not kidding when I tell you that when Daddy gets home, I go to the restroom and close the door and that sometimes is only a twice a week thing.

I'm married to my hubster Joe who I met while I was a single mama of 1 lovely little lady, Mikayla who is now almost 7. Joe & I have a son together who just turned 3 and we live in upstate NY which is all the way on the other side of the country from ALL of our family & friends. Well, I lied--his lil sister lives in New Jersey but that is 3 hours away...so, not exactly a hop, skip and jump away.

My daughter is bi-racial. She doesn't really "get it" at this point. She knows that she is half African-American and half Hispanic but she doesn't get that her "dad" {her biological father} is not in her life. See, she has a Dad who raised her for 2 1/2 years who she still talks to and visits and she has Daddy Joey who has been here since she was 3 1/2. Yeah, it's complicated and it's a long story. I guess we can go over that as this journey progresses.

I hope to bring to you my stories of all my struggles and all my joys and I hope that you can see how wonderful God has been to me all the while. I'm the happiest I have ever been and I work more than you can imagine. My priorities are in line and I intend to keep them that way...but, sometimes I really just want to be alone...even if for a moment of silence. Well, silence minus the sound of pee. ;)
