You might be a single mom if...

Okay...it's late, I'm tired and I've still got a ton to do, so rather than strain my own creativity, I'm borrowing from Jeff Foxworthy!

That and, well, my whole evening bespeaks single parenthood. So here goes:

You might be a single mom if:

* You're exited to find $7.43 left on a Target gift card because it means you can go buy your favorite facial cleanser and not feel guilty about it.

* You spend all evening working on taxes (after cursing the IRS site for four days), and at 9:45 p.m. run to Target because you are out of said cleanser. Yes...it's that important!

* No, it's not really. But your crock pot is in soak, you need it to put tomorrow's dinner in it, and you're out of Dawn. AND Electrasol. Since you have the Target card and need the facial soap, you might as well drive across town to go there.

* While comparing prices on Electrasol, you see you can buy a 20 ct. tabs with Powerball for $1.77 or you can buy the box of loose powder like you always do for $3.50. You go with the tabs, not because it's the best deal, but because it's less you have to spend tonight and it will last you through payday.

*You want to buy sodas, but they're $4 a case at Target. You know you can buy 2 cases of your usual off-brand at Kroger for the same price, so you expend the time, gas and energy to do so.

* You steal 20 minutes to check Facebook and write a blog post before you fill out medical forms for baseball and wash the dirty crockpot, and then want to cry when you realize it will be at least 11:30 p.m. before you can go to bed. But dang! A girl has to make time for herself somewhere!

*Sigh* Back to it. Goodnight, ya'll!
