One Mom

As Nicholas is brushing his teeth tonight, he said, "I have two moms, right?" I said, "No, I am your only mom." Then there was silence. So I said, "Well, what do you mean?" He said, "Jessica is like my mom, she makes my breakfast sometimes." So I said, "Um, I guess." Then while reading the bedtime book with Nicholas curled up under one arm and Christopher nestled into my lap, I started to cry. Just for the record, you only have one mom, Nicholas.

A Nice Day

Yesterday I spent the day with my friend Becky and her family. The point was to meet their friend Mark who Becky thought I might like. He wasn't the one for me, a nice guy, but not a love connection. Becky has two daughters, Madison and Maisi, who are the same age as Nicholas and Christopher. There is such a difference between boys and girls! The girls are so calm and quiet, even when they get mad, it's not as loud as when mine do. Beck and I organized her recipes and watched a movie, I think I spent a total of twelve hours over there yesterday. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends!

The best moment of my day . . .

Christopher and I ate lunch together today at the kitchen table like we always do. When I finished he was still eating so I grabbed the hummus and wheat chips and sat back down. He pushed his plate away, climbed up on the table, and together we ate hummus. We were having two totally different conversations with each other - me about our morning and what he was talking about, I am not sure, I think I heard the words spiderman and drill. It was just one of those moments that makes you forget everything else and so I just enjoyed it.

The Latest

Not much on the dating front, I guess I just don't have that come on over and talk to me, I'm friendly kind of personality! I am going to a picnic on Saturday to meet my friend's husband's friend if you can follow that. I have hired another lawyer to collect the second payment from Jason, that could take anywhere from 45 - 90 days. I don't think I would be so annoyed if people would stop telling me about how he is spending his money. Or if he would stop driving new cars, wearing new watches, and asking to take Nicholas on a ski vacation. He could have used the money he spent on the two week vacation in Hawaii as a payment to me, but that would be the right thing to do and we all know that's now how things work. Oh well, I keep reminding myself of the good things - the boys, my house, my friends, my family, and so much more!
