    Crickets chirping is a sound I love, even if it means summer is leaving. Have a good one!

    Good luck. I seem to remember that if you can survive it without killing each other it does get better. Eventually.

Single Parenthood; Friend or Foe?

This is my new journey in blogging.  As is already obvious in the title, I am a single mother of two of the most fabulous children that I know (and I don't say that because they are mine), they truly are great kids.  I not only love my children, I actually LIKE the people that they are.  I know that we all love our children deeply and those are the rules of the universe, but do we LIKE them? I started my journey into single motherhood about seven years ago.  It seems that I stumbled into the journey while blaming the seven year itch of my lovely ex husband....but now...now it seems that I am stumbling into a seven year itch myself.  Not the typical seven year itch where you look for attention from others, but the kind where you almost want to run from it.  I used to be the most social of creatures, but in recent months, I seem to want to be a recluse.  It's safer in that environment. My daughter is now 13, yes...stumbling into womanhood the same way that we all had to, "

My son has a hero.....

My son has a hero... His name is John Calipari, coach of the University of Kentucky Wildcats, a team that my son watches faithfully.  A team that is the root of Jake's hours of basketball time in our driveway every single night and a team that has given Jake a dream.  It all started a few weeks ago when I saw a posting on Facebook that Coach Cal would be doing a book signing in the next town about an hour and a half away.  I obviously started planning right at that exact second.  Jake, my son, has been feverishly planning what he was going to say to Coach Cal, but last night didn't seem very promising at first.  When we arrived at the book signing, Coach Cal had made an announcement that he was tired and that it had been a long few weeks.  He informed the audience that this would go extremely fast, about three seconds per person, long enough for the camera girl to flash a picture.  You were to step a few feet behind him and smile for your once in a lifetime photo with you

The time machine

How much time do we spend on regret?  Is there an appropriate amount of reflection or is it harmful at any rate?  No one can truly travel back no matter how hard we might try.  Do you try to repair your past or do you just take the lessons that you can from it and run for your life?  I've spent an enormous amount of time in the last few weeks wondering what I would do differently if I could only go back.  Mid life crisis?  Sure, it's a possibility. If someone from your past comes back into your life from afar, do you embrace it?  Or do you run like hell and leave it all behind where it has remained for so many years?  Do you use that opportunity for closure and then just let life happen?  In my thinking, I have come up with, what I hope would be, five helpful rules for dealing with this issue. #1-  Accept any and all apologies.  Always be humble.  Likely, the person apologizing needs to apologize to you more that you need the apology.  Accepting apologies doesn't equal
