Packed for Disaster

Sometime over Christmas break, J developed what he calls his “disaster kit.” It’s basically a tote bag that has a variety of items in it, such as sun screen, chapstick, a map, a guidebook to Barcelona, a flashlight, and various other random things. He carries it… everywhere… and at first it was a little annoying. […]

Not All Baseball Players Are Born to Play

Last year, I signed J up for “Wee ball” and then almost simultaneously got roped into “coaching” the team. To say that it was a disaster is an epic understatement. He cried when he had to go to the games. He hated putting on his gear and hated batting, throwing, catching, and everything else associated […]

“I Love You, Too”

When my son leaves for visitation weekend, a part of me dies for a few days. I go through the motions, I live and laugh and do all the things I normally do… but part of me is missing.  If your child has ever gone away for a while, you know what I mean. You’re […]

Happy 8 Months, Little J

Stealing a page from my dear friend “Blair” on this one. It’s necessary that I write a letter to J on this momentous occasion!! J: It’s hard for Mommy to believe that eight months ago I didn’t know what your face looked like. And hard to remember that this time last year she was having […]
