We are currently under construction.

I know I haven't been posting much of anything, and for that I'm sorry. I'm trying to find a template that I like that isn't tied to someone else's website. No, thank you. I happen to like my location right here, thank you very much. (lol)

Finding a template that I like which is html based is proving more difficult than I thought it was going to be. I had a blogspot blog long ago, and I don't remember it being this difficult to find html based templates. I'll keep looking though and eventually I'll find what I'm looking for. Hopefully. (lol)

Love & Support,

Those Involved in My Journey

There are many players involved in my journey as a part-time mama. Some are positively involved. Others I wish were more positive. They are who they are - good, bad or indifferent. So here's the list just so you know who I'm talking about when I mention them in future posts.

Me: Molly-Ann
My Ex-Husband: Jack
My Eldest: AJ
My Middle Child: RJ
My Youngest: Jr.
My Mama: Bliss
My Dad: JM
My Therapist: MaryJane
My Sister: Grace

So now you know the cast of my life. I'm sure at some point I'll add someone or more than a few someones. If that's the case then I'll be sure to keep the list updated, but for now these are the only players in the game that has become my life. :-)

Love & Support,

Where to Begin

I've been mulling this first post over in my head for days. Basically chewing on it like a piece of gum until it's lost it's flavor. Maybe I've starting this wrong, saying the wrong thing but I can only be me and share my truth as I experience it.

For instance, right now I'm realizing that my finger nails are too long to type this post comfortably without making a bunch of mistakes, which is driving me crazy. lol

Moving on...

My name is Molly-Ann. I've made the decision to use pseudonyms for everyone concerned in or involved in these postings. While I will share my truth about becoming what my sister refers to as being a "part-time mama", some of those involved have careers and lives of their own. I'm not looking to cause trouble for any one. However, I noticed when I googled "part time mamas/moms/mothers" there were 50,000+ sites, which is a good bit of information if you wanted information on how to be a part time working mother. If you google "part time dad/father/dads" 142,000,000+ sites that are found most of them concerning this very topic.

So here we are. I wanted to start a blog for part time moms to share my story. That way others like me, in a similar situation where they live for whatever the reason without full custody of your children, have some place to go to know they are not alone. We may be the minority, but that doesn't mean that we don't matter. That we aren't just as important as the part-time dads. We are just as important as part-time dads. There just don't happen to be as many of us.

By the way, I don't plan to only post about being a part-time mom. That title and all the responsibilities that come with it is a heavy enough topic. So clearly, there will have to be some silly, fun and lighthearted posts as well. We are people too. :-)

Love & Support,
