hey ... nice underware! Just keep doing what your doing.... the time and right lady will happen just focus on your child and your homelife. You really don't need a girl to come mess things up for you right now. When you least expect it it will happen. Take the time to do things with your child because they grow way to fast. Trust me I know I have 3 of them and I have no idea where the time went. I was a mom at home for 21 yrs raising and schooling them, now being served divorce papers has taken away that quality time I would have had with them. I now step into the work force, home on market and its a whole different world and I miss them terribly. Love them now while you can. That love and romance stuff will still be there , especially at your young age. Take your time sweety

Keep your head up. Been doing the same thing as you for 6 years now. It's hard but it is getting easier as the kids get older. Good luck.

Men like you are rare, I was a single mom for 18 years. And I didn't date much either. My focus was on my son. And now that my son is a responsible,caring and respectful son it's all worth it. This saying kept me going...It's easier to build a boy than to mend a man. That says it all. God bless and good luck to ya. And keep the faith.

I know how hard it can be when you are a single parent. I have only been one for a couple of months but was on my own well before that. You seem like an awesome person and your children are lucky to have a father like you. Good Luck!

Thanks for the replies, I just recently found this topic again (they should add a search feature to the forum) and am reading all your messages for the first time.
I appreciate the support, it is nice to hear. Not a large amount of helpful suggestions, but then I didn't really expect any sort of 'magic solution' to pop up anyway and was simply venting a bit.
In truth I don't think I would really look for a new relationship at the moment anyway even if I did have more time. That is not due to my not being ready or open to a relationship, instead it is more because I would only want a relationship once my situation is under control so that it could be based on attraction instead of dependency. I want to find someone that I can share with and be able to give as well as receive. Of course it would be easier to have someone to rely on but I would never enter into a relationship simply for the help it might provide; I would only get involved with someone based on the interest and excitement we have for one another.
Anyway, I wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to read my post and jump in with their replies, support and suggestions. I think for the time being I will simply continue with my childcare/work/childcare/sleep routine because it will be worth it in the long run and things will get easier as my 3 year old son and 1 year old daughter get older and I am sure I will meet someone at some point (actually one of the women who works at the daycare is cute and very friendly). At least I am still fairly young and open to excitement and love instead of being jaded or bitter. Wish me luck! (or if you are an interested young woman send me a message lol)
EDIT: You can tell I haven't used this site much, I just noticed that it lists your discussions and posts on your profile lol

Dinner
I have been useing a service call meal makers and It has turned out good for me
I know how to cook (very well I might say) however these are meals that are made with fresh items and you take them home and put them in the frezzzzz and then pull them out when you need a really good meal and not just fast food
as you can tell by my pics I love good food but healthy food

Yha I used them in the past

and make the meals at the same time
