I woke up this morning trying my hardest to have and maintain a positive attitude/outlook. This is simple task is one that I have always struggled with. Ive been feeling so incredibly lost lately and it blows. Im sick of it. Time to grab this crazy train of a life and wrestle it into submission. I run my life. My life doesnt run me. This morning @ModernSingleMom posted a blog called “The Dossier of a Glam-Romantic“. I read this and fell in love with it as I do with all of this amazing womans posts. I thought “hmmm…maybe I could attmept my own dossier”. But then, @MissIve posted her dossier and that was that…the spirit had moved me. I was jumping into that rabbit hole to join the ladies at LookingGlassLane.com, the ladies who inspire me and move me everyday to find myself, LIKE myself and LOVE life…
Here goes…….(deep breath….and slowly exhale…)
The Dossier of Not Your Average Single Momma~
Name: Christeen Mary
Alias: @misscriss0830 , notyouraveragesinglemomma
Looking Glass Powers: To Be Determined (Im stuck!! Gimme a minute!!) I inspire people with my tattoo obsession! I currently have 5…
*arm band thingy
*shoulder blade
*Tramp stamp
*Tops of both feet….by far my favorites!
Other Looking Glass powers include the ability to carry all the grocery bags up 3 flights of stairs with a baby on my hip, ability to “kiss” any boo-boo and make it all better, I also have the incredible to give “the look” …. you know the one….the mom look that makes the PIT look at me all puppy dog eyed and sorry…
Dress Up Closet: jeans (2 pair), vintage rock t-shirts, pj pants that I stole from my brother while visiting him in Wisconsin because he refused to buy me a t-shirt, booty shorts, tanks from Express (one of every color), sneakers that I wear everywear unless its flip flop weather. And black stilletto heel, thigh high boots…just in case I ever go out with someone who is actually taller than me! (Confession: I love heels but hate being tall)
Disguise: Hats..beanies mostly, big ass sunglasses, pigtails and Ozzy red highlights
Go to Gadget: Just one…my beloved iphone. Oh and the hippie often lets me blog and catch up on blog reading from his computer so I dont eventually go blind trying to read all these blogs that I CANNOT live without on the tiny screen of the iphone.
Vice: Anything menthol…you little bastards! (shaking fists) Also…daytime drama where the men are hott, the money is always there, everyone has prestigious careers yet never go to work..so theres the occasionally bloody betrayal and raunchy affairs but hey…its only a show!
Magic Potion: Vodka…in anything really…just pour it…now
Battery Recharge Hub: the blogs of @modernsinglemom @mssinglemama @MissIve just to name a few. The power of motherhood parenthood and postive thinking is what moves me! People like @mattlogelin and @canadianbaldguy make me believe that maybe, just maybe not all dads are worthless turds. People like @sexythinker , @c_reed and @fleurdeleigh are amazingly infectious with their positive attitudes….they make me WANT to change my thinking. my bestie April Sue & my adorable lil nephew Spencer (who is almost one…time for a sibling isnt it?) always puts me on top of the world. That girl is a fighter, hell of a friend and the only reason that we’re not biological sisters is because one mother couldnt handle both of us! My other bestie @taytayllamalady who for some reason seems to be the other half of my brain….its wickedly fun. Shes the notorious “bad” auntie to the PIT. @taytayllamalady was dubbed the “bad: auntie after teaching the PIT to make fart noises with an empty paper towel holder and lift her leg while doing so…..adorable tay….i love you! Twitter is my support group and there is no mood that Led Zeppelin cannot cure
Bratty Spoiler: Napping for no reason other than I like to! Tattoos, cheesecake bites and any Will Ferrill move
Owners Manual: Bad Mother by Ayelet Waldman (friggin GENIUS this woman!) also all of the mentioned blogs + my blogroll
Weapon: Quick witt, sarcasm that never gets old, attitude and the occasional low cut top with just enough clevage to get me outta that speeding ticket;)
Nemisis: self doubt, frequent bouts with depression and anxiety, negative attitude, the “grey” cloud and fear…lots of fears..
Secret Ambition: find myself, like myself and BELIEVE in myself. I want to travel with the PIT and see the world with her. I want to watch her as the pure wonder and curiousity of being a little girl captures her mind…I want to see her face when she realizes that there is no limit..I love to write….maybe Ill write a book…a “how to NOT fuck up your life royally” book …….I want to inspire other moms to fight their hott little asses off to be happy & successful…even if you’re starting out 60000000 miles behind everyone else because you’ve made alot of “not so great” choices earlier in life when you knew it all…but so what…here we are…here we go~Look out world..you’ve been warned
Dont miss the sensational dossiers of these fine ladies and gentleman :)
@RiaSharon
@FleurdeLeigh
@JRPorter
@Lucidinsanity
@irasciblecrayon
you already rock this world, just for being here! love you lil cc!
I luff you more you dirty pirate whore! Id be lost in this world without you as my anchor! You’re the bestie~
Girl,
(Know that I am holding your chin as I say this), you ARE just fine. Right now. Say it.
I AM just fine.
You’re amazing.
I read your tweet earlier about having big dreams but not being there yet and I started to reply that @SexyThinker would tell you speak as though you are. Always. It’s the first and most important step.
You already inspire me. On my bucket list: Get a tattoo.
Every time I see your avatar, I think, maybe on my feet. Yes. I love it.
And honestly, I WISH I could smoke. Ask @unmarketing. I bummed one of his in Vegas, took one hit, coughed like a ten-year-old and dropped it on the dance floor. Not cool. You shoulda seen the look I got.
You’re an amazing woman and I’m so glad you took the jump through the looking glass. So much fun in your near future if you stick with us, girl.
Love ya,
Jen/MissIve

love the list. love your courage. @missive is right the key is not to think of your dreams/goals but to think from them “as though you are” because you are… worth it.
I am so honored and excited I don’t know what to say!!
Yahhooo! Your Dossier rocks, and I think I speak for all of as at LookingGlassLane when I say we are so happy, no THRILLED, to have you join us down the rabbit hole.
And wait…you have THIGH HIGH BOOTS!? You are definitely in on my inner circle of dearest girlfriends now.
Can I borrow them sometime? (And a little bit of you height too ;)
Yeahhh!! Happy day! We love you!
I am speachless…which is a rarity for me! Your encouragement is so amazily powerful!! I am sooooo glad I took the jump! Fearful as I was to start this Im so happy I did!
Love you all!!
PS-ModenSingleMomma….absoulutely you can borrow my boots! They’re hott & so hurt my feet! Ill gladly send you a lil height too! it takes me 8 hours to shave these linky long legs! im not even kidding…8 hours ;)
These are all GREAT! And many here that I agree with, like I LOVE Zeppelin, your weapons and you magic potion. One can never go wrong with vodka. ;) Yep, I think you’ve inspired me to do my own now.
People like @mattlogelin and @canadianbaldguy make me believe that maybe, just maybe not all dads are worthless turds.
**Sniff** That just might be the most beautiful thing anybody has ever said about me. **Sniff**
MindyMom I CANNOT wait to read yours! I am honored that I inspired you to give it a go! No stopping us now!!
CBG–keep up the good work. Im a tough one to sell usually….especially when it comes to the “dad” word/issues/etc…but you two truely amaze me. Dads that WANT to be dads?! Since when?! Since now? Fuc*ing AWESOME! Lets face it…mommas can do it alone..for sure but it would be reeeeeeeeeally nice if we didnt have to. You rock sir…nuff said:)
Yay! I have to second what @MissIve said… you are just fine. More than fine because you made the leap… down the rabbit hole. Figuratively speaking, it takes courage to look into the mirror and write a dossier. I know. I did it too! :)
The sweaty-palm-not-quite-in-my-comfort-zone-but-this-will-be- good-for-me kinda courage. Get used to it, sister! :)
Yay Chris!! You are amazing. This was splendid.
Three things to remember regarding your secret ambitions: WE found you, We love you, and We believe in you. Now it’s your turn :)
We are so lucky to have you on Looking Glass Lane. Capers ahead.

LOVE LOVE IT! I also hate being tall and love heels too! And my soon to be husband is shorter than me…oh well!
I loved this and so glad I found a new blog to add to my list of already great single mom blogs!
