Last weekend may have been one of the best weekends ever. The weather was outstanding, the Wine Bar was beautifully busy, Lark Fest was once again a joy, and I got to take my middle son to SPAC to close out the season. Yep, pretty friggin' awesome. When the show was first announced, I decided a … Continue reading Florence + the Machine – SPAC, 9/16/12

Are you my mother? And who’s my daddy?
image: http://blog.schoollibraryjournal.com It's been a weird weekend...I kind of hit the wall on a number of levels, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say, hit the wall with numerous body parts. Truth be told, I probably used my head the most. I had so many options available to me; concerts, and old friends, … Continue reading Are you my mother? And who’s my daddy?

Quinn gave me a marigold, Griffin gave me a song and dance … Continue reading Very nice, funny and huggable

I believe I've mentioned I don't really care for pharmaceuticals before. Afterwards, I remember confessing to a friend that I could have … Continue reading Motherhood – adapted and adopted
Mama’s boys to men
Two of my three sons are now taller than me. I rarely look at them without shaking my head in amazement. When did that happen? I've officially been a parent for a third of my life. How is that possible? My boys are turning into young men in front of my very eyes and the … Continue reading Mama’s boys to men
On timing, springtime and past times
How appropriate was it that my divorce should become official as the religious celebration of rebirth approached? There are times in life when timing is perfect, and this is a fine example of that phenomena. New life, miracles wrought by faith and love, light where there had been darkness...This is very much a season filled … Continue reading On timing, springtime and past times
