Will has been gone for almost a week now. It's killing me. I miss him more than I thought...and I thought I would miss him a ton. I'll be hugging him in about 24 hours. But I am trying to enjoy our time apart. What I notice the most is TIME. My god, I have so much time on my hands. It's … [Read more...]
The Last Day Of Kindergarten
I just put Will to bed. He's in kindergarten. He's five. He hugged me and said, 'you're the best mom a boy could have.' This is a marked improvement over two weeks ago when he said, 'I wish I never had a mom.' But I digress. Let's go back to the sentence - He's in kindergarten. After tomorrow, … [Read more...]
Where Do Babies Come From?
We had a bit of the "talk" this weekend. I didn't get into body fluids and sperm and eggs and all that but we did lay the groundwork. With it being Father's Day, and me wanting to carry on our blue balloon tradition, I felt my little inquisitor would require some answers. On Sunday we went … [Read more...]
Happy Father’s Day Will’s Donor!
It's another Father's Day and like I planned from the start, here is my yearly update to you. One day, if Will wants to meet you, he can share these with you so you can get an idea of how he's evolved over the years from the seahorse in my uterus to this amazing little human. Will is closing in … [Read more...]
Ring Ring
In about 10 days, my really good friends are expecting their new baby girl to arrive. They've been waiting a long time for her and many of us are counting the days down with them. The day she's due to arrive, I'll be at my grandfather's 95th birthday party. I warned my step-mother that I'd be … [Read more...]
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly Of Sickness
It's 7 at night. I'm in bed. Fresh sheets and a bath. My mom always said nothing makes you feel better than that combo and she was right. We've had a crappy couple months in the sick department. Nothing tragic or serious but just a constant trail. I had the flu/laryngitis before Jamaica. Will … [Read more...]
Let’s Keep The Rose Coloured Glassed On!
Recently, I was asked by someone at the Ride To Conquer Cancer to write a piece on why I'm riding this year. This is that piece. It wasn't used where we had hoped...but I wanted to share it with you guys. The ride is a month away! I may not be ready... but I'm going to kick it in the … [Read more...]
It’s A Phase
There are good days and bad days. There are good weeks and bad weeks. There are good months and bad months. I get it. Phases. We're in a bad phase. This morning, after two door slams, a shoe throwing episode and a screaming fit in my face, I had to leave the house. I had to leave because … [Read more...]
Heading South To The Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton Resort And Spa In Jamaica!
With the divorce rate still sadly skyrocketing, many families these days fall in the realm of untraditional. Many of us are parenting our kids, at least part of the time, solo. A couple of years ago, I went to book my son and I into an all-inclusive and realized that at the majority of resorts, we … [Read more...]
The Hardest Lesson!
Do you remember when you first realized how expensive things are? I've been racking my brain to remember but I honestly can't. Well. Will won't have that problem. He'll have this blog to remember the day he did. I decided last week to establish a chore chart for Will. I listed a few things he … [Read more...]
