I know I know



You don't have to say a word.

Yes, I have been gone.

And yes I have been cheating.

I am wrapped up in a love triangle of

game playing, drama and foolishness.

Somehow it is easier that what this was.

What we have here takes real intellect

and thought.

It can be exhausting!

What I have out there is simple...even easy.

What can I say? I have come crawling back to be fed.

I make no guarantees.

My new relationships are so attractive.

A sentence here and a sentence there is all I need to utter

to keep things running smoothly.

You on the other hand are demanding.

You need complete immersion

of mind and spirit.

You need more so much more

And they just don't.

They don't need much.

As a matter of fact they have their limits.

I really can't give them any more...

Build a supportive network of family and friends

Act optimistic even if you […]

Snow Angels


A friend of mine recently sent me one of those e-mails titled "Why we love Michigan."

It had a series of photos of Michigan nature, mostly "up north" but it got me thinking about these pictures from last month during a snow day we had before everything went zub-zero and turned into a frozen tundra.

Me and the kid both stayed home that day and had a great time. All the snow you see pictured here last month is now impenetrable ice.

It was such a fun day, that Snow Day. We came in from the cold and had some hot chocolate together. As my friends with older children have advised me, I am enjoying this time while B-girl is still young. Pictured with the B-girl is her pal C-boy. We ran into him while we were out there.
