As I walked into the gym tonight for H’s basketball game, I just had to smile. The echo of bouncing balls, the smell of popcorn from the concession stand, the music blaring for the pre-game warm-up…I love it! Of all the sports and activities my daughter has participated in through the years, soccer, softball, track, …
I’m at a loss on how to start a post after two months of no writing…do I give excuses about how busy I’ve been, a synopsis of what I’ve been up to, or just ignore it and jump right in? Hmmmmm…I think I’ll just jump right in. January in our house is a much calmer …
Almost since the day my daughter was born, I’ve been watching her leave. Every time it happens, I get this heavy, empty feeling in my heart. The first time was when her grandparents in Florida took her for a few days while J and I went on a long weekend trip when she was 16 …
It’s 6:30 a..m…my favorite time of day. My family is still sleeping and I have an hour or two to eat my toast, catch up on emails, read the paper, and today I decided to face the horror of (DUM DUM DUM) the unwritten blog post. It’s been so long since I’ve written anything that …
I pulled up to the gym to pick H up from basketball. She had been up until midnight the night before, cramming for two tests that she had that day. Then, after school she had an hour workout with the D1 trainers, lifting weights and sprinting outside, then an hour with the “Dr. Dish” working …
Interesting weekend. Saturday night we had reservations around the piano at Whitfield’s…(our favorite Nashville neighborhood restaurant). It’s pretty cool, they set the piano for 7 people, and you can eat there while John plays all your favorite Sinatra/New York, New York/ dinner music. He’s actually pretty incredible. Has a wonderful soothing voice, and plays great …
My daughter has a blog. She doesn’t write often, but she started it on one of our trips when she had access to a computer and nothing else to do. While I was out of town last weekend she sent me a text that asking me to look at her most recent post. Here it …
My daughter’s recent blog post-or how to make your Mom cry! Read More »
It was bound to happen. Putting 105 girls in one age group together, and no matter how wonderful the setting is, there will be DRAMA. H is still very glad she made the change to this school. The opportunities for girls, the comraderie, the class participation, class offerings, extracurricular choices, and the abundance of girls …
When H was in 5th grade, one of the boys in her class “asked her out”. Of course, in 5th grade, they don’t go anywhere. But you wouldn’t know that from listening to them talk. “Well, Brandi was going out with Billy, but then he broke up with her and started going out with Anne”, …
I just realized it’s been two weeks without a post. Last weekend we took H and two of her friends to Florida to my in-law’s for Labor Day weekend. It’s actually a repeat of last year, when H decided she’d rather do this than have a big party. She had so much fun she decided …
