So, I've been trying to keep my head up during a really rough patch (unemployed, no support in ANY way from my son's father for his child, depression trying to creep in on me because today is always the hardest day of the year for me, etc., etc.) - and the one thing that makes me feel better about myself is being productive. I've just recently been accepted by Examiner.com as their NY Family Events Examiner and have just placed my first article. It isn't really a paying gig at first, but the more views I get per article the more likely this could jump off to a REAL paying gig -- and Mama needs the dough! Lol.
With that said, I will be sharing my article links with you in hopes that you will have the time to check them out and/or pass them on to friends you think may be interested (I know some of you are not parents or do not live in NY). The articles will all be very brief as I am just basically the person who gives parents the lo-down on what's happening out there. It's more my writing style than the content that will lend itself to future gigs I think. And also, if any of you hear of an event you would like to share with me please hit me up and I will be sure to give you a shout-out for it in the article (but only if you want me to).
This is today's link: http://www.examiner.com/x-3601-NY-Family-Events-Examiner~y2009m2d23-Take-your-baby-disco-dancing--really
I'm trying to make moves so I can get out of this funk, and so I don't fail my baby boy. Or myself for that matter. Wish me luck!

I know some of that feeling. Somedays are hardier then others but you have the right idea. Turn the negative into positive by doing something productive =)
Keep you spirits up girl... it's hard but you hold the power
