heart aches

my heart aches from past
mistakes
pain courses through my
veins
will these dreams go on?
am i to continue this way?
how do i reconcile emotions i can't even
understand?

Sadness Lingers

sadness lingers
emotions misunderstood
attached to me
a parasite
regret

Happy Holidays!

This years trees are up (yes, that's plural), and most of the decorating is done.

I found and purchased a fabulous, old tinsel tree last year at Ecocentricity. (http://ecocentricity.org/ or www.facebook.com/Ecocentricity)


The second tree is simply a Home Depot after Christmas sale find. I do however, dig the decorations!


There is a third, sort of, tree. It's pink. Totally obnoxious. It's outside, mostly to annoy the neighbors across the street. No pictures yet, as the tree stand was chewed by a dog and I need to find a way to prop it up appropriately. Perhaps tomorrow! 

Getting in to the Christmas spirit this year!

Seventeen

Yesterday my Nick turned 17. I can hardly believe that he's been my baby for seventeen years. I'm impressed with what a great young man he is turning out to be. He's tall and stong, extremely handsome (in my humble opinion), and he's a really nice kid. I'm terribly proud of him. I wish he could understand how much I love him. But we don't understand until we have children of our own.

I got a hug AND a kiss from this guy today...




The Arizona Cardinals held a Jr Training Camp at Madison Meadows Middle School today. I was fortunate enough to be a parent volunteer. It was so much fun for all involved: students, school staff, parent volunteers, Cardinals franchise employees, Red Bird and #67! I wasn't even disappointed that it wasn't Larry Fitzgerald. The whole event was fantastic. A lot of laughter, a lot of sweat! And, most importantly, I got a hug and a kiss from #1, Red Bird!
