Time for a new adventure!

My life is pretty ridiculous - in a good way - most of the time. I'm a recently-turned-40 suburban single soccer/basketball mom who lives with 3 kids (2 teens and one "almost" teen) and a dog. There is no husband in this house, in fact there hasn't been for ten years. The kids go stay with their dad once or twice a week, which is really ideal for all of us. We've settled into a really good life that involves lots of laughter, a few arguments, the occasional spill, and a fair amount of barking. We're working on the barking.

I catch myself being amazed/amused by something unusual each and every day, so I thought I'd see how well I could put it into writing. Hopefully it'll be enlightening to someone, somewhere, sometime. There are so many ridiculous things that happen each day and I sometimes wonder ~ do other people notice them too?

Today I'm pleased that I decided to work from home without even realizing my son would need a ride to soccer practice - something I wouldn't be able to accomplish had I gone to the office as planned. I'm also thoroughly enjoying the quiet in the house, now that the kids have gone back to school and I kicked the dog out (he's safe in the backyard) for a bit.

Today, me and my coffee are working at home. Life is good.
