living in real life

life can get real hard sometimes, ask any one..... especially a single mother.

there are many ways to deal with the mind numbing trudge through pain and suffering with the occasional high note of not sucking that is life.

Some people drink, some people have sex with random strangers, and some people throw themselves out of panes with an itty bit of fabric the only thing thing saving them from ending up as a little puddle of red goo when they land (but seriously fuck that!).

and others turn to religion and pray. I had a line of the serenity prayer going through my head as i was on the phone battling with the bank so when i got off i just had to go look it up. This is what i found.

~The serenity prayer~

"God Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

The courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference."


well this is all well and good, but no matter how many times i say this it really doesnt help, so i decided that i needed to rewrite it. And this is the result.

~the single mothers prayer~
"God grant me some money to pay the bills and keep the debt collectors away,
A house that keeps the wind out and isn't falling down,
and a kid who cleans their fucking room"
