Waffle takedown....DUN DUN DUN DUUUUN

Mothers Day '10

started out on a covert

mission to get a waffle!!

No kids in sight..

two mothers out

to satisfy themselves with

great company and

a perfect way to say

I am a cool mom!

Bread and Ink on Hawthorne

hit a home run again.

Angela (my sister from another..you know)

spoiled me with her company and treated me to

an amazing morning.

As you can see from the pic

there was carnage.

No I am not ashamed.

I join the leagues of waffle

cone sures

and counted myself to be among the elite!!

This is my second Mothers Day at the B&I

and I plan to be there in '11

with bells on!

Join Me?

kisses and lashes

Running away!

Okay..

if you know anything about me you would know

I LOVE my bike.

You won't find me pestering you

riding down crowed streets,

but on a quiet block smiling at the neighbors and

daydreaming in every large 80 year old home.

I took my dear love out and rode for an

hour and stopped at Grant park.

My intensions are to read, but

the surroundings are so electric, I was

too distracted.

The sound of the tennis balls were like a heart beat.

Then the kids squealing was like music.

The trees..grass and sounds...man oh man.

It was like being in the heart of a happy person.

No book could compare.

(plus the book was trite)

Our cities are squeezing tight and

finding quiet green space is precious...

get out and explore your city...

just don't get in my way

when you see the pink helmet coming

MOVE!

lol

kisses and lashes

Letting go

How do you let go of your child?

What a complicated and tangled duty.

I wished for her

I dreamed of her

I carried her

nursed her

changed her and my whole world

Now, I am being asked to let her go.

To live with a lives work and then open your door

and say bye...huh uh..don't want too

you may say its right but I want her, little ,

smiling at me and not seeing my shortcomings

thinking I made the sun come up.

sitting in my rocker to nurse at 2 am SHARP.

Laughing crying SCREAMING..

clutching pushing..the mother daughter

dynamic is STILL the most intricate of all the

relationships...but is deep

self observing and amazing.

If I could tell you one thing..

I never willingly want to let my babies go..

but life calls for them from day 1.

Imposing itself on my time with them.. now she is

18 and full of anticipation...

OK WORLD.. I am letting go

and you better treat her right...

love her

honor her

listen to her

see..her

please.
