A place for parents to share.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted I’m lonely here at my blog spot no friends, no followers I think my webmaster brother needs to get me out there in cyberspace so we can get exposed! Finally she found a room to rent with 3 other people the bliss I thought I’d encounter isn’t exactly…
Boy did I have myself fooled!!! Thinking I could give my daughter a date to be moved out figuring it would be easy to find at least a room, not true, we were both under the same illusion – I am not longer there! We’ve looked high and low been told yes then no! Her age…
has time gone? I’m amazed at how quick this past month has gone by! My daughter will be moving out May 15th it’s scary sending her out into the world, it will be bittersweet. I will miss her terribly yet there are things I won’t miss like the calls 10 minutes before it’s time to be…
Learned? I can only hope my daughter learns the lesson of why it isn’t OK to leave a store with something you haven’t paid for. The judge socked it to her with fines, costs for classes and community service that she has to pay for. Total will be around $1000 and she isnt’ working. Imagine…
Go round when can I get off? The kids aren’t the only thing that can send life spinning! Some days it feels as if the world is tossing me round and round and I can’t get off. I prefer things to move along semi-smoothly with rare slight bumps along the way. I want to believe…
Time seems to rush by at the speed of light! It’s been a month since I’ve posted my hope is parents will join in and this can be a place to support each other in raising our kids. It isn’t much fun blogging to myself, it does help to get some “stuff” off the brain.…
Closely you can hear your child’s sweet slow breaths as they sleep. Maybe this would be an opportune time to reflect on how we might become the best parents we can be and help our kids grow into the people they are meant to be – instead of our expectations of the people we think…
Yep thats me! Here it is after midnight (again). Jess usually has to be in by 11:30pm on week nights and 12:30am on weekends which she’s pretty good about abiding by. She lives in our home which means she lives by our house rules. Yes I do make exceptions – probably a lot more that…
Theft, Jess’s revelation this past week. The story goes that on New Years Eve she and a friend went to Walmart to get some makeup which they picked up when they got there then they proceeded to walk around the store. When they left Jess “forgot” she had the makeup in her hand as they…
I’m glad 2010 is over my hope is for a better year in 2011! Yes it’s another year of my life gone but the New Year provides us a chance to move forward. Jessica (my at home 19 year old) has some choices to make and not alot of time left to discuss with me…
