Default Alone Time???!!!

Hi right now I am frusterated. Well not really, but I just wanted to let you know that I need some time for me, like on the computer. I am single, 29, and have joint custody of my 2 year old, but I actually have her full time. Her father wanted joint custody to not have to pay child support. So he has this wonderful job making big bucks, and can only afford to pay my daughter a little bit of money. It isn't fair, but either is life right?? Anyway, I absolutely love my girl, but I also need quality me time too. But that is something that she just doesn't understand. And that's when the frustration comes in. I work away from our home full time, so I do get me time. But for just one day I would love to surf the net for 5 hours straight and drink a bottomless long island icetea. I quit smoking 4 years ago. Well it will be 4 years on July 31. That is great. I haven't thought about going back for 2 1/2 years now. I actually can't imagine going back. Oh the habit of it all. It costs so darn much money and kills you at the same time. And there aint nothin like a nic fit. Anyway, I am glad to be over that part of my life. My daughter is exposed to smoking by 3 different people at her fathers house when she goes on weekends, so I could never do that to her.
We just bought some pet fish. 2 guppies, and 2 of something else that was compatible. They all get along nicely too. We haven't named them yet but I am curious to what my daughter will call them. anyway, thanks for listening
