The "MOM": March 2010
http://wwwthemom.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 7, 2010. As I contemplate another move, it seems time to deal with some of the boxes of stuff that I have been moving with me over the last 15 years. These boxes are things that are full of 'important" stuff that I can't throw out but I need to find another way to deal with them. Spelling aside these notes give me flashbacks to the kids when they were little. It is funny how you only remember the good times and not all the work that was associated with being a parent of little ones. And I a...

The "MOM": CHRISTMAS BAKING & HOMEMADE CHOCOLATES .. it's a tradition
http://wwwthemom.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-baking-homemade-chocolates.html
Monday, December 21, 2009. CHRISTMAS BAKING and HOMEMADE CHOCOLATES . it's a tradition. Well yesterday was my baking day for all of my traditional Christmas goodies. After my whirlwind week of travel and work, the last thing I wanted to do is spend a day cooking. But I did. I did it because Christmas is steeped in traditions and family and therefore I would not let my children down by not making my traditional selection of home made chocolates and cookies for Christmas Eve.

The "MOM": April 2009
http://wwwthemom.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 18, 2009. That I was the perfect mom, that I never yelled, I never lost my patience, I never got upset when there was a mess. But I am not. That I was a perfect person, that I never lost my cool, that I always knew the right answer, that I never made a mistake. But I am not. That I had always been patient, always relaxed, always calm, always smart,. But I was not. That I loved you the best, that I cared the most, that I was always there for you . And always will be. While preparing the me...

The "MOM": Lessons from the HEART 4.0
http://wwwthemom.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-am-going-to-write-something-that-i.html
Tuesday, January 5, 2010. Lessons from the HEART 4.0. Have never been medicated for any depression as I was really adamant that I would work thru. Anything. But please know, that there is nothing wrong with medication if you really really need it. Just make sure you really need it. I experienced postpartum blues with you, Jamie. I hid it so well that no one not even your Dad knew that I had it. But I did. And it was tough and lasted for a few weeks. But I just worked thru. You remove yourself from society.

The "MOM": July 2009
http://wwwthemom.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. It is the summer of 09. The Summer of change. Before the summer started I instinctively sensed a new beginning. I told my partner at work one day. a change is coming. I can feel it. There was no fear or terror, it was a change in life that was to take place. And it is was noticeable during my vacation week in July that the change has arrived as I spent time with my girls on their own. My 4 kids and I used to be one entity. Is on a traditional path - a bit of school is left but s...

The "MOM": October 2010
http://wwwthemom.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 11, 2010. Reacting to 2 curve balls. 1 I will be turning 50 years old. 2 I will be an empty nester. WOW how did that happen? Where did the time go? Well, the first 25 years was pure and simple my years of growing up. Ok. makes sense-that counts for half of the time but what about the next 25 years? The next 25 years were the years of kids and establishing a career. WOW. 25 years of being a Mom to 4 children and working hard to create a successful career. And add to that I am turning 50?

http://wwwthemom.blogspot.com/2010/10/it-must-be-fall.html
Tuesday, October 5, 2010. It must be Fall. It must be Fall as I again have the urge to write. Fall is a symbol for endings, for relaxation and for taking time to regroup. I think it is Mother Nature's way to say, sit down and relax, enjoy, slow down and restore. And so. I begin to write again. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). PURPOSE OF THIS BLOG. This blog is for my children. Here I will share my thoughts, hopes, successes and failures. Here I will share my life lessons. Here I will share me. Bloggin...

Monday, April 12, 2010. EASTER MORNING. new joys with adult children. There are moments in your life when you are older when you know instinctively that they are special moments; moments that you will remember and cherish forever. You can feel how special they are deep within your soul. When you reflect on them, your heart is warm. Easter Sunday morning 2010 was one of those moments in time for me. Thanks for the memory Chelsea. I can't wait to do it again with you sometime. PURPOSE OF THIS BLOG. Here I ...
