For the love of... not being able to count on someone you thought you could.

Don't you hate it when that happens?  You rely on someone for something and they drop the ball?  Not even drop the ball but don't even turn to look at it?  Here's the bottom line... if you can't do something, if you don't want to do something then JUST SAY SO!  I thought if I put this out there in BlogVille that it might help me not be so damn angry about it.  What really makes me even more pissy is that I ASKED before I lobbed the ball!

For the love of... beautiful creatures

I took the picture of this cutie when we were at the Ft. Worth Zoo on Spring Break.  This silly guy was trying so hard to remain  hidden under the burlap sack he carried everywhere with him.  I love this picture!  Such a cute face!!

For the love of... finding me on Examiner.com

The following link will take you to my page on Examiner.com.  Bear in mind, it's a work in progress that I've just begun so it'll look a little bare at first.  I'm writing as their single parent expert and while some of you may not be single parents, I would appreciate your feedback, nonetheless.  Off you go...

For the love of... writing words and getting paid for it

I recently applied to Examiner.com to become San Antonio's Single Parent Examiner (sorta like a reporter-type position) and today they emailed me letting me know I had the job.  Yippee!!  As soon as I'm up and running, I'll be sure to let you know how you, too, can read all of my articles.  I'm excited.  Can't wait to get started! 

For the love of... Poems written by the 14-year-old version of yourself

Question...With No Answers



Why is happiness so easy to grasp
Yet so hard to hold?
How can love so brief
Pay such a heavy toll?
Why do you walk away
When you know you should stay?
Why is a broken heart
So full of fears,
And bright eyes
Filled with tears?


How do you tell the difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul?
How do you go back when yesterday seems so cold?
But how can you go forward when the future is untold?




When will you realize that yesterday is gone
And tomorrow has yet to come?
When will you know
That to forget is to forgive
And to survive is to live?

For the love of... a perfectly placed "test" message
