    Learning Curve

    September 26, 2011 /

    I hope you all had a good weekend. My DH and I got to go and see my DS for our first parent’s weekend at his college last week. The week before I
    tipped away and went to the DD’s school to take her out to dinner. I guess we are all going through our own sort of learning curve right now.  Them with it’s how to get used to living in a new environment and handling school and life and things like time management without me hovering. And with me it’s just about the same. A new home environment, time management without kids to manage and getting used to life without the momsey hovering (though I do find a way from a distance). I wonder if I can get some type of tutoring for this.

    Happy birthday to my wonderful, amazing, irreverent, smart, beautiful, you can clearly run out of adjectives to describe… MOM!

    In The Air

    September 19, 2011 /

    Good Monday. Quite brisk today and though the calendar says it’s still Summer there are definite signs of Fall in the air with leaves falling and the air with swirling with a chilly chill.

     

    How are things where you are? Is Summer still hanging on?

    I’ll admit it although The DH thought I was nuts, I already had my first fire of the season going. Toasty!

    Best,

    The Enforcer

    September 14, 2011 /

     

    I have to admit I’ve had a bit of trouble getting of the hump of now having a teen free house. One where I don’t have the 2:30 bell going off in my head. No longer do I have hour after hour where I’m toting a kid from one activity to another or sitting through an event and cheering (ok sometimes reading) from the sides. This is a totally knew me.

    ME being the operative word. And a big part of this me that I was looking forward to is the writer part that suddenly has the time to do what she said she was going to do. Try andreally make a career of this thing.

    Oh-uh and gulp Scooby Doo. So to that I spend lots of time preparing to write. You know, researching (click, click online), making coffee, more researching, more coffee and then walking in circles.

    I’m thinking Jack has had enough. He’s now turned into The Enforcer.

    You gonna get to work lady?

    I said now!

    Ok, I see you’re going to be a problem, so I’ll just park it here to keep an eye on you.

    Have a great hump day. Good luck getting over all your humps today.

    Best,
    Kwana

    So Any Minute Now… Right?

    September 7, 2011 /

    What’s Jack been up to?

    The Jackster has been in a state of confusion as you can tell from this pic and his scraggly hair. Just like so many on the east coast he had to deal with the hurricane too. Did I tell you all how the DH and I accidentally locked him out on the porch during it for about a ½ an hour? Yeah, that wasn’t a good start to the first night of being without the twins. Not noticing the missing dog and all. *hangs head in shame*

    And ever since then he’s been completely board with me (see over this woman) and totally looking for the kids to come home at any moment. To save him from this dull existence perhaps?

    The other day I had the DD on speaker phone and she called out to Jack. He just about lost it running to the front door and barking for her to come in. I just about lost it with that one.

    It’s a whole new normal for all of us right now. Jack getting used to it just being me and the DH and the DH and I getting used to each other all over again.

    Still hard not to think about any minute now though.

    Best,

    Kwana
