Finding a Balance Between
"Me-Hood" and "Motherhood"

From raising special needs children, family vacations, marriage, relationships, sex, cooking, local to-do, school (both for you and the children), working, hiring a daycare provider, arts and crafts, decorating, holidays, to well... EVERYTHING!

Father's Day Adventure

larger view

Yesterday we went to Sonoma to celebrate Father's Day early. No one told us that it’s NASCAR weekend in Napa (and Sonoma didn’t have anything about it on their town website or calendar of events.) Despite the horrid traffic coming home, overwhelming smell of duck poo in the air and gusts of wind blowing pollen in our eyes till they were red and swollen, we had a great time.

Sonoma is a very charming town, and very close to where we live. The downtown area had some great shops, but it was a little sad to see so many of them closed, or having massive sales. My son’s favorite store was the Sonoma Cheese Factory. We ended the day with getting yummy cheese to take home for dinner. My husbands and my favorite store was a cooking supply place called the Robin's Nest. Can you tell my family loves food? It’s actually one of the few things that all three of us still have in common.

Like a typical 15 ½ year old, man-cub spend the majority of the day texting his friends. I’m guessing they went something like this: “OMG! It SMELLS HERE!” or “<eye roll> I can’t believe I’m stuck here WITH MY PARENTS!” He was actually a really good kid. One of the things I love best about man-cub is that he doesn’t whine or complain. He knows it won’t do any good anyway, so he just sucks it up and makes the best of it. When we were almost done with our adventure I did make him put the phone away so as to better “live in the moment.” He is the multi-tasking generation for sure, but it’s something I’m trying to make him more aware of.

The highlight of the day for me was just to be somewhere different, spending time, just the three of us. Watching my son out-grow my husband and I is like watching grains of sand fall too quickly down an hourglass. I know we don’t have many special moments like this altogether, so I’m savoring each and every one I get.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
