​Today’s blog post takes a different turn, it’s not about my kids. It’s who I hope they will not turn into… I have been interviewing for a new job and my latest interviewer had to be an under 30 something millennial, or that was my impression after a phone 

Ever feel like it's not your home anymore?  Teens coming and going all day, with a wake of clothes, dishes and smells behind them? Well my summer is starting out well... now my teen has graduated high school (just barely) and has his car back so he can get a job, or register for college, neither has happened yet. He's too busy surfing and skating to be bothered with that stuff....  But somehow it 

About 4 years ago I trained for my first half marathon. At the time, the boys were 11 and 15 years old. As a single mom, this was the first time I felt a little freedom!   I was really slow at first and I would come home really tired but I always felt like I had accomplished something most people at 46 didn't do... run a mile for fun.   The boys were always  full of advice since they had been running track since 1st grade, they were experts...  

Graduating High School is a big deal, for my oldest son it has been an emotional rollercoaster ride. He is a bit older than most seniors at 19 (due to a "do-over" in 1st grade) but his grades are not college worthy. So he conflicted, he has all the excitement to move out, be on his own and has even told me "You really don't need to parent me anymore".. But he's caught in the limbo stage of I'm an adult but I can't support myself yet so I need to stay home and live with my parents... (heavy sigh... ) He can easily get a job, he's charming, handsome, social and knows how to use it to his advantage. But, he doesn't seem to hold on to a job more than 3 months. He also can't decide if he's:

• going to jr. college or start his own business,
• work or take a surf trip around the world,
• sell his car and get a motorcycle or keep his car

But he knows he wants to make money... I really do love all his entrepreneurial ideas, he has new ones every day....
