Today, my baby, my BoyChild, my youngest child turned 15. For those of you who have read for awhile, yes, you can let that sink in for a moment.  It has been taking it’s toll on me. He is compassionate, challenging, smart, rude, funny, frustrating, quirky, kind, crude, sweet, gentle, obstinate…I cannot think of enough adjectives to […]

Is anyone else simply fascinated by those cooking videos on FaceBook? I usually look at FB when I’m sitting in my car waiting on my kid.  Or doing something else which doesn’t require my full attention.  I can scroll through on my phone which doesn’t play videos unless I click the link. But occasionally?   I get […]

I’m thinking about what I need to take with me to the Robotics Tournament in Texas next week.  My job at these things appears to be to hang about and offer moral support and occasionally money to sustain my participant.  The last time, I didn’t have my great new glasses yet, so I spent my spare […]

I worked the Ash Wednesday noon prayer service yesterday. There was a woman there with a bunch of kids.  One pretty small, who obviously didn’t want to be there.   He was making that pretty plain.  She eventually made the decision to take him and her other kids out of there.  But not before a woman, with one […]

It is only Thursday, but it feels like it has been a long week. Last weekend Jacob and I went to Weatherford with the Robotics Team for a tournament.  I hadn’t really planned on going.  Jacob has reached that point where he doesn’t need me and finds me a little bit embarrassing.  I don’t have to do anything […]

Saturday night the OKC Thunder played the Golden State Warriors. For those of you who do not follow OKC Basketball, Kevin Durant got free agency last year.  He left the Thunder for Golden State for, I’m sure, a variety of reasons.  He did it in a way that probably could have been handled differently.  Saturday […]

Early in December,  I took Jacob to get a haircut.  He had a thing at school and had been needing to get a haircut for awhile. This was the result: I stayed in the car while he went into the barbershop.  I didn’t give any directions about the haircut.  Usually, his Dad takes him, but […]
