A Dose Of Reality

One of my favorite sayings is that whenever you are feeling down and things can’t get much worse, just turn on Jerry Springer and all of a sudden life will be grand!  I may be broke, out of a job, and have a car that needs to be replaced, but at least I am not in love with a girl who is having affairs with my great grandfather and my son!  Sometimes a dose of reality can slap you out of your pity party. While I was not having a…

Love Stinks

Well, I may be a bit jaded and cynical myself, but when it hits my kids, I feel awful. My son has his first “real” girlfriend and things are going well (apparently) and then out of the blue, two days after their second prom–the dreaded text message (yes, you read that right) “I think we should see other people.” I felt horrible for him.

Dear Kids–

Just a point of information for your consideration. I don’t do “vague” very well. If you are going to rely on me to shuttle you to all of your school, civic, sports, and social engagements, please have the courtesy to come to me with the details. Yes, I will be more than happy to take you to a concert, but I need a little more to go on than, “it’s next Friday in the afternoon.” “Where” would be a good starting place.  “When” would be helpful. And since you don’t…

Costa Rica Anyone?

A few years ago, we tried to get a trip together for Costa Rica and unfortunately it did not go–the economy intervened.  One of our single moms just contacted me and is planning a trip this summer with her 8 year old son and was wondering if anyone had been there with their kids and might be willing to share tips or offer advice. If you can help, please send me an email and I will forward it to her. Please use THIS LINK TO SEND THE EMAIL as it…
