Four the better part of 4 yaers now, I have had custody of my soon to be 5 year old little girl.  She has been the greatess joy in my life and believe me when I say I wouldn't trade being her father in for anything.  With that said, I have found it very difficult to have any type of social life.  My friends who have children are with their otter half.  I miss the times of being able to participate in conversations with other adults.  I am becoming an expert on Sponge Bob and Hannah Montana and my most of my conversations are limited to child talk.  I know that there are alot of other people out there in my situation, and I often wonder how they make time or deal with it.  Being a parent of a beautiful girl is a full time job, especially when you are doing it alone. 

I know that being here for her is my privledge, but I am trying to figure out how to have a little of both if thats possible.
