Okay not yet, but I'm starting to get into full vacation excitement mode. Last year, Will and I took a New York state roadtrip. We visited friends on Long Island, in Manhattan and in Rochester. It was an amazing trip - except for that night Will peed on my friends new couch - oh well, he's … [Read more...]
Happy Father’s Day Will’s Father!
This is our fifth Father's Day. The fifth time that I'm writing to you - saving the letters/posts to show to you one day, should Will choose. I think he will. He's the most curious kid ever. So what's happened this year? He continues to grow at a rate that is mind boggling. I bought him size … [Read more...]
Morning Has Broken
Monday to Friday, from 6:00am to 7:00am is the most hellish five hours of my week. I'm a morning person. I don't really have issues getting up. Alarm goes off, I snooze a couple times, I stretch and then I'm up. Will is a morning person as well - on the weekend. But Monday to Friday? It's … [Read more...]
Fatherless on Father’s Day – No Bigs!
It's the week leading up to Father's Day. This is the week where (thankfully) Will's teachers call and ask who Will should be making gifts for - an uncle, my dad, me?? I really appreciate them asking. Even though different family make-ups are rampant these days, I don't think that there are any … [Read more...]
We Are Family
48 weeks a year. 5 days a week. 8 hours a day. Generally, those are your working hours - give or take the week of days you need to take off for sick kids. 52 weeks a year. 2 full days a week. Maybe 5 hours a day for the other five. Generally, those are your non-working hours. So. … [Read more...]
Let Me Ask You a Question. Or 500.
Let me ask you a question. How many questions a day do you think a four year old asks?? Well I googled it. Generally the answers ranged from 425 to 500. Ummm. Is that before 7am? Honestly. My life is a series of questions now. Each question starts with 'Mommy. Did you know' or 'Mommy, … [Read more...]
Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad!
Just try to get that Meatloaf song out of your head now! Come on. Try it. I know. No luck. So, in roughly 85 days, it's triathlon time. 85 DAYS! I'm actually excited. You know I've been biking for a year or so now, and I've added the swim in during the last month. Now that I have a bathing … [Read more...]
Where Do You Find Good In The World?
I'm in a weird state lately. Personally, I feel better than I ever have. But the world around me? It just seems like one thing after the other is destroying my faith in humanity. Sandy Hook Boston Bombing Cleveland Kidnappings Tim Bosma News of every one of these events has made me want … [Read more...]
Coach’s Corner
Will started soccer yesterday. We did a soccer skills thing when he was three, and frankly I'm amazed that he remembered any of it. We went on Sunday and got his shin pads and a pair of cleats (because they were $9.99 and adorable). He's been really excited. Yesterday morning, we woke up and I … [Read more...]
Flashbacks From High School
This Saturday is my 25th High School reunion. Nothing formal. Bar night. Excuse to drink too much and share memories from a quarter century ago. I feel like a 25 year-old so this is a bit hard to stomach. One of my friends emailed and thanked me for organizing it. She remarked how it's funny … [Read more...]
