What I Miss Most...

Today was a crazy day... Just like any other day i got the boys up, made a different breakfast for each of them (more on that another time) Prepared lunches and tied shoes making sure everyone was dressed just right for the weather.  I rushed them out the door and loaded them into the car.  I wasn't feeling well the night before and just wanted to get them to school.  As we pulled out i realized something was wrong.  Pulled back in and said well boys, we're walking.  My tire was flat yet again.  Just 8 weeks earlier the same thing happened with the same tire.  (i filled air in it the night before bc my light sensor was on and the next day i woke to it completely flat) After returning home a neighbor came and helped me put air in in so i could take it in.  Upon my arrival i explained to the man what had happened and how odd that it had happened just 8 weeks earlier on the same tire.  They said they repaired it and charged me $500 for a whole slew of things.  He was so nasty to me and told me that i didn't know what i was talking about and that he couldn't help me until he looked and that wouldn't be until 11:30-12:00 and that i should just go sit  my butt down and wait.  I have to be honest I've been a bit emotional lately and so i turned around went and sat down and began to cry.  Why was he so mean, what had i done to him?   Then i realized i hadn't done anything but maybe he was just having a bad day too.
But, that leads me to this... What I Miss Most about a good solid relationship.  The ability to pick up the phone at any given moment to that one person that one person you could say just about anything to and they won't judge you or be angry but instead just tell you, it's all going to be okay.  Even through the sobbing they'll hold you tight and tell you they love you.  That's what i miss most.

I Finally Met the Man I Never Thought I Would

 For the last ten years, my world has revolved around my three boys. I poured everything into them, my energy, my time, my heart. I became their anchor, their safe place, their constant. And as the years passed, they grew. Not just taller or older, but more independent and confident. Little by little, I began to feel that familiar shift: they still needed me, but not in the way they once did. For the first time in a decade, I could finally breathe for myself again. I had no expectations of love finding me. My life had settled into a rhythm of responsibility and quiet strength. But then, as life often does when we least expect it, it brought someone into my world who would change everything. A man finding love after loss. A man who loved deeply, truly, wholeheartedly before. Instead of feeling intimidated by the depth of his past, I found myself moved by it. The way he speaks of love, the way he honors what he once had, only makes me feel closer to him. It shows the kind of heart he...

December

December is just a day away.  December is such a busy month, and I'm just bracing myself for the speed at which it moves.  Presents to be purchased and wrapped, Christmas cards to be sent (they're ordered with just a few last minute changes to receives)  That's right, this year I'm cutting my list down (more on that in a moment). Decorations to be put up (I'm a bit behind this year) Christmas programs to be practiced (so many amazing memories with this one) Projected to be finished, Volunteering to do (this year we're making stops at Santa's workshop in downtown Naperville as well as the Ronald McDonald House and who can forget Family Christmas. This year I pulled up mt Christmas address labels from last year, after printing I realized there are a few that will NOT be receiving a card this year.  No ill feelings (maybe a few) but, you just didn't make the cut this year. I actually thought long and hard about this (as posted before) I thought I would be t...

Seriously...

This weekend I made reservations to celebrate a good friends birthday.  It's always hard in the month of December to do anything besides the "Holidays".  But, I wanted to make sure the day didn't pass without her feeling special.  To make the day extra special she invited a few other friends and their children.   We finally got settled in and I noticed this guy, he had noticed our table too.  I kept racking my brain trying to figure out how I knew him.  I playing over my students dads, my boys friends dads, other dads at school, my social circle but I kept coming up short.  I finally said something to my friend and she said, Oh he's on the dating apps.  (One of the first things I often do is check fingers for rings to eliminate that as a possibility...he had a ring).  I said but, he has a ring.  She said, exactly.  This is what were dealing with.  The man was clearly out with family and extended family but is spending his ...
