Or success envy mostly. We saw "Where did you go Bernadette?" yesterday, girls day out with my DIL. Weird watching that movie with one of us on the Bernadette side of things and the other one just starting out life with my son. It's the modern day twist of "Shirley Valentine" of what women go … Continue reading Jealousy

All’s Well in Las Cruces & random mom thoughts
This week was all about walking the dog and errands for my son. We did get a quick trip to White Sands, a place definitely worth seeing if there's a chance. Warning though, we went later in the afternoon for the sunset while it was still almost 100 degrees. There's picnic table shade, otherwise you … Continue reading All’s Well in Las Cruces & random mom thoughts
Late Start
Totally wiped out in a good way. I must have slept 10 hours last night after painting then going to look at wedding dresses with my DIL for the actual wedding in Turkey. She looked beautiful!! Can't wait to get the dress and have it altered for her. The woman who was helping us was … Continue reading Late Start

He always qualified, it was a decision I didn't want to make for … Continue reading Mom-Mode

Driving my son and his dog back to Las Cruces, the super long trek that I'm going to take a few days to drive instead of powering through in a … Continue reading The Long Road to New Mexico
TGIF
Lots of parent soul searching while I'm out here, do I live for my kids or start living for me? I've never been good at discipline with the kids, he really needs someone strict to just get him going and not have a meltdown (like I already did). I want to help him, I'm just … Continue reading TGIF
Hard Trip
This was supposed to be a trip to see if I could stay here and possibly enroll in their music program, our house is a few blocks from campus. Instead, my son wants me to leave early because he's so defiant. I tip toe around him, can't bring up work or school or I'm not … Continue reading Hard Trip
