A Single Mommy Always On The Lookout
It’s a night out on the town for three single ladies. Myself, my 8 year old daughter, Destiny and my “adopted” 15 year old daughter, Shanna. Before we go, I put on my makeup. At one time I wouldn’t wear makeup at all, but I’ve come to a point where a little makeup is fine with me. We go out to eat and then do a bit of shopping. We go to “The Dollar Tree”, our local $1 shop where everything costs one dollar. Before we go in I want to touch up my lipstick. Destiny sighs, “Oh, Mom”. I respond, “What? A girl has to look her best. She never knows when she might run into a good looking guy and from what I heard, all the good looking guys shop at The Dollar Tree”. Of course I was being a little sarcastic, but she didn’t realize it.
After shopping, we finally go to check out and while the lady is ringing up our items, Destiny asks, “So Mom, did you see any good looking guys here in The Dollar Tree tonight?”. It was a little embarrassing, but oh so cute as well.
Truth be known, you never do know where the man of your dreams might be waiting for you. Looking your best is always a plus. On this particular night, I ran into someone that I would love to hook-up with. Although, I doubt it will ever happen, I still went into the bowling alley that night looking my best. Who knows what the future holds, even if I didn’t catch that man’s eye, I may have caught another man’s.
