Moving Forward
Last night, my ex-husband wanted to Skype with J. We called but J wasn’t really interested. Finally, ex told J he loved him and I told J to say the same. Instead, J said “No, you tell daddy you love him!” And in one quick moment… in one quick smile… I realized that I no [...]
When Being a Mom Totally Rocks
I am proud of my son every day. Every day he does something else that makes me wonder how I got so lucky as to have him; every day he reminds me that I am so far beyond blessed that there isn’t even a word for it. Don’t get me wrong, he can be rotten. [...]
Dating and the Single Mom
I’ve been struggling this week, looking for the right balance of who I’m supposed to be and who I really am. See, when you start dating again after you thought your dating life was over, there is this chasm between the person you are expected to be “on the dating scene” and the person you [...]
Happy
Oh where to begin. I have had the most epic awesomeness of a day in the history of epic awesome days. It started out slowly, just trying to get things in line for my mediations. Around 10:30, my boss summoned me to her office which made me … slightly nervous. But wait, what was this? [...]
Just one of those Days…
I have started and stopped no fewer than four blog posts today. Part of my problem is that I want to whine and complain yet I feel entirely too blessed to justify any of it. I want to stomp my feet and rail about how my day was long and my clients were unhappy. I [...]
Yellow Sheets, Take Two
When my husband first moved out, I found a set of bright yellow sheets in the back of a closet that had never been used. I placed them on the bed and reminisced about what I thought when I bought those sheets and how so much had changed since then. I wept for the loss [...]
Living the Not-So-Single Life
I have spent time being jealous of my ex-husband’s current situation. Yes, I have J, and for that I am eternally thankful… but there have been moments when I’ve thought that just once I’d like the opportunity to go out and have fun without paying a babysitter or worrying about the phone ringing. Just once, [...]
Co-Sleeping
I keep meaning to make my son sleep in his own room. I feel like it’s my job, as his mom, to enforce bedtime in his own bed, without me there. But I just can’t seem to do it. When it gets to 7:30 and he says “Come on, Momma! It’s time for bed” and [...]
The Sweetness of Sunday
I made a pact with myself to attempt to limit J to the recommended two hours of television a day this weekend. On Saturday we frosted cookies with our fingers and painted/carved pumpkins. We played in the back yard and in the front yard, and in the living room. We built towers and colored and [...]
Choices
Yesterday was a long day. I got to work at 7:30 and worked straight through lunch. I have two clients in particular who keep me up at night and both of them got bad news yesterday. I do not like giving my clients bad news. Around 5:30 I left the office and drove straight to [...]
