So really, I almost never, never complain about Esteban outloud. Really. I feel so blessed to have him in my life. But I am a woman and therefore I am allowed to vent just once.
He is so great with the kids and I have always tried to let him parent the way that works best [...]

This is something I wrote just over a week ago. I had so much positive feedback from my friends, I decided to include it here:
You know…I love my babies so much. I can’t imagine ever losing any one of my 3 little angels. I don’t know if I would be capable of keeping my sanity [...]
6 Months Later…

I am quite emotional having just read the last entry I published, Daddy’s Little Girl. Shortly after learning that my father had died, I also learned that I was pregnant. Quite the surprise. I had just given birth to a beautiful baby girl 4 months earlier. Maybe this was life’s way of diverting some of [...]
Daddy’s Little Girl
Posted in Dear Daddy, family, tagged Absentee Father, child support, Death, family, life, single parent on January 18, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Just two weeks ago, I learned that my dad had passed away. It wasn’t what I expected to hear from Mom when I called her that Friday night.
“Your father has died.”
Short, simple and to the point. I don’t think I said anything for almost a minute. Her words reverberated over and over in my mind. [...]

It was just under a year ago that my team of co-employees and I were gathered for the annual safety awareness meeting. We were all pretty excited because it meant we’d have at least an hour away from our desks.
We filed into the training room, picking up safety packets that sat on a table at [...]

Jane Hambleton probably never expected to have her story posted all over the web or featured in news articles around the nation. Admittedly, she was hoping to get some attention when she placed an ad in the local periodical, The Des Moines Register.
So how is it that her ad has caught the attention of folks [...]
Hello Kitty

That cat! I can’t believe that cat! She (or he…I really don’t know) is out on my balcony again. I don’t hate cats, I promise. But I’m not a cat person. Which is really kind of weird as I didn’t start out that way. I was five or six years old when my sister Kristi [...]
Countdown
Posted in family, tagged family, life on December 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I woke with an aching depression today. These will be the last 24 hours I spend with Mom and Kristi before they return to the state of Indiana. Kristi was here for a full two weeks and Mom for ten days; it’s never enough. Living 2500 miles away from them has been the hardest thing [...]
Bi-Dee-A-Boo!

Kristi is wonderful at games of pretend. I sometimes envy her skillful creativity, how she can spin a fresh game without hesitation, generating a spark of giggles from Ernesto and encouraging his imagination.
The other day (a week ago–>LOL) I observed from the other side of the room as my sister was entertaining him with magic tricks. She took [...]
Oh Beads!

After a two hour relay at the local mall, Mom and Kristi dropped me off at home. My son Ernesto would stay with them as they continued their shopping excursion. The baby and I would call it quits as little Amber was so congested that she would scream in frustration every half minute. At just under four [...]
