[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you kidding? I bolted so quickly from Williamsburg the second I dropped off my kid (also -- single mom).

I scheduled a girls trip that first week in Vegas with friends. Had a freaking blast. I'm still working and there's plenty of life left in me. I'm 38 and ready for this next chapter! I have a trip to Paris planned and I've already sold my Arlington house and bought a low maintenance row home in the city. It's fantastic!

I don't really know how to feel about your post and your overwhelming joy at sending your kid to college. It just rubs me wrong. Was your DD like a nightmare teen? There is nothing wrong with doing things for yourself, just the opposite, but something just seems off about this.[/quote]

No, my daughter is an amazing, lovely person. But as a single mom, I put all of energy and time and effort on raising my daughter. I had her fairly young and under less than ideal circumstances, but I love that kid and I love the life we have. I'm just ready for the next stage and I'm not waiting a second to whoop it up and have a little more fun.

I'm ready for the next stage of our relationship. I don't feel bad about that. I feel awesome that I raised a great kid, who's going to a great school, and who has a great head on her shoulders.

But there's another chapter to my life. My life isn't over and I'm excited to embrace that change and see where it takes me.[/quote]
