I love my kids so much. I love that despite the divorce and the death of their grandmother last February they still don’t know everything bad in the world. They’re still innocents in many ways. I want to protect that innocence, too. My twelve year old son is now in 7th grade and he had […]

Rx Chocolate
You know its a day for chocolate when: 1) You must drive much loved boyfriend to airport at 7 am 2) Your kids are heading off soon to their father’s for the rest of the weekend 3) Your youngest child is getting socks to put on his shoes for father’s house and suddenly screams, ‘Mom! […]
The Real World
I’ve had a few days of outer body experiences, and it may be due to my extreme fatigue of only finally finishing my book Monday at 4 pm (I had an end on Saturday night but I had to line edit the entire 563 page manuscript Sunday and Monday before emailing out). Once manuscript was […]
Can You Feel The Love Tonight
My 8 year old was sitting with me on the couch earlier lovingly looking up at me. He reached up and gently touched my face. ‘Mom, your face is so soft.’ I smile at him. My favorite time of the day is this quiet one on one time. A chance to unwind. A chance to […]
The Trainer
In an attempt to deal with me, and my own head, I’ve signed up with a small, private gym that only offers personal training. It’s very expensive and no one has ever hurt me this much in 55 minutes before. I’ve been going three times a week–which means I very nearly sold my younger son […]
Back Home
I just returned home from five days away and I’m thrilled to be back with boys. I couldn’t stop hugging them last night and then Ty my youngest, sat on my lap while we watched the finale for Dancing With The Stars, and frankly, my youngest is kind of big to be on my lap. […]
Kids: Purpose Found!
I didn’t know what to do with my kids for years. They ate my food. They woke me up at horrible hours during the night to tell me they’d peed their bed, vomited somewhere or had a nightmare. They came from school with more work for me than my publishers gave me. They cost money. […]
Mother’s Day Contest For My Readers
Mother’s Day is kind of a peculiar day for single moms and I don’t think I ever realized it until I became one. You’d think that being a single mom would make it extra special, you know, the whole ‘celebrate mom’ thing. But the problem is, to get kids to ‘celebrate mom’ there’s got to […]
Why Women Need Fiction
My oldest son dreams of being a WWE wrestler….you know the likes inspired by Hulk Hogan in the 80’s, the Rock in the 90’s and now John Cena, aka ‘The Marine’ and Bautista and The Undertaker now. How do I know so much about wrestling? It’s a popular form of entertainment in my home at […]
Cry Me A River
I don’t advocate bawling all the time. It’s hard on the skin and unappealing at an eye ball level. But it did result in me getting some beautiful flowers from my bud Elizabeth Boyle (www.elizabethboyle.com) who should have actually gotten flowers from me for finaling in the Ritas again. Last time I roomed with her […]
