Being THE Mom

Gosh, the more I experience mommy-dom, the more I find I love it. The Princess is the mighty SIX! She was the beauty queen for the day. She went to the beauty parlor for an "Up-DO," then Charlotte the Great added a splash of "Princess" with a sequined baby blue dress. She wore a crown and enjoyed a pinata and barbeque with her family. My little man, when asked, "Are you a big boy?" replied, "Like Daddy." Then, after a moment of thought, he raised his arms above his head and announced, "I'm huge!" Indeed, he is. My other little beauty queen says she loves me "infinity squared," and I'm her "best mom." My oldest has followed through on getting a "grown-up" job and doing well. He tells me he's had "no attendance issues." Whew! The actor is busy enjoying summer and making friends as he prepares to enter HIGH SCHOOL! There is no greater joy than to watch a child grow from someone so incapa...

My Beauty Detour

 My life is a chaotic comedy. There are days I wonder if the ride ever stops? Today, I made time for myself. I decided to take a "Beauty Detour". No..lol...it wasn't a pampering at a spa, but just a few minutes for me to reflect on something inspiring. Something beautiful. Something just amazing. My moment of peace took my detour to be about my children (perhaps because they were fighting in the other room!). My 19-year-old he wants to influence the world with his music. It's his passion. He is content "hiding behind" the guitar and letting someone else lead. His face is animated when he plays sculpting into distorted figures of pain when he plays a soulful blues and then transforms into raised eyebrows, a smile that lights up the stage and stars in his eyes when he plays his favorite upbeat song. I have a soon-to-be 16-year-old son. He is random. His likes and dislikes change like the day into night. He is going to be a Director, or it's his dream today...

On Being a Mom

 Being a mom. Gosh, the more I experience mommy-dom, the more I find I love it. This past month we celebrated a birthday. The Princess is the mighty SIX! She was a beauty queen for the day. She went to the beauty parlor for an "Up-DO", then Charlotte the Great added a splash of "Princess" with a sequined baby blue dress. She wore a crown and enjoyed a pinata and barbecue with her family . My little man when asked "Are you a big boy?" replied, "Like Daddy." Then after a moment of thought raised his arms above his head and announced, "I huge!" Indeed, he is. My other little beauty queen tells me she loves me "infinity squared" and I'm her "best mom". My oldest, my first graduate , has followed through on getting a "grown-up" job and doing well. He tells me he's had "no attendance issues". Whew!
