It's a little cold for ice cream

But I'm reminiscing about that delightful dinner of ice cream in big old waffle cones over here on Single Minded Moms, where I'm now blogging monthly. I randomly connect those cones to social networking. Stumped on how in the world I possibly pulled that off (or just want to give a little sanctimommy judgment about why I didn't let the kid get sprinkles and whipped cream on that cone)? Then stop by and join in the conversation.

More than bubble baths and porn. I mean, bon-bons.

I'm working at this self-care thing one little turn at a time. See what I am doing first by reading my latest column on Single Minded Moms.

And do tune into SMW's Blog Talk Radio on Monday, when I reel over how in the world I got so lucky to land on a show with Matt, Jess and Alaina. Oh yeah, and then we talk about single parent stuff. I'm sure I'll find a way somehow to weave whore shoes into the conversation and I am sure it will be a kick to talk with such talented writers and committed parents. Have you read their blogs and columns yet? You must, you must.

Tune in! Because listening to me go on and on about preschools and platform heels is MUCH BETTER

It's Wednesday and of course, your mind and mine are already fixed on the weekend. Hell, stop working now. Kick it in your jammies and let the kids pop open the Doritos and OJ and go to town.

When you finally get to the weekend, smear off a bit of that orange dust and join me on Single Minded Women's evening on Blog Talk Radio.

I am handing over the big bag of chips to Lil E for the next few days just so I can revel in the excitement that I get to join such amazing single parent bloggers on SMW Radio. I'm thrilled to dish with Ms. Single Mama, Jessica from OSoloMama, Matt Logelin and hosts Melissa Chapman and the saucy Rachelle Chase.

All the details you need are below. Feel free to email your questions right now or save up your stories, advice and sassiness to phone into the show on Monday.

What happened when I got stuck on the other side

I've been so busy buzzing about preschool, politics and playlists that I haven't yet told you that I'm now writing for a fabulous site called Single Minded Moms, powered by Single Minded Women. I am so happy to connect there with other mamas raising kids (all or mostly) on their own, including one of my favorite bloggers, Ms. Single Mama.

I've posted there about how Lil E locked himself in his room, which it seems many of you have also experienced. I had a lot of revelations while we were stuck on opposite sides of the door, sitting there for an hour, touching fingers and passing notes until the locksmith arrived. Click here to read the details.

There's more to come, too. I will be writing monthly about how single mamas (and all of us mamas, really) can put self-care back on the list of priorities.

Let me know what you think! Share your ideas for delicious ways to be good to ourselves and give Single Minded Moms some love.
