Just My Boys and Me

Spring Break, like the wonderful snow days, consisted mainly of family time. Only this time it started off with a fish fry on Monday. I am telling you that I did think all of those people were coming! But we had so much fun.

After Monday I knew that the majority of my time would be with my sons. I can not believe that in two years Alex will be getting ready to leave and go to college. I really do feel that he will go out of the city and knowing Alex, out of the state. He dreams big and I love that about him.

Earlier today we spent time with close friends, eating strawberries and playing games. Candyland anyone? This evening my sons and I went to pick up some items from the store and then to Alex's favorite place to eat, Chipotle. As we walked through the store I thought how cool is this to be with them. Alex could have been out with his friends and Ty and I could have been hanging out at home. Instead we were together having fun and enjoying each other's company.

I hear people talk about how hard it is to be a single parent. Some days are hard. There have been long days and even longer nights. As I become older I have learned to put my life into perspective. My sons were gifts to me and I am honored to be their mother. I embrace our time shared with warmth, joy and love. If God wanted things to be different, it would be different. I cherish each moment I spend with them. I would not trade our time together for anything.

So on this wonderful evening, with Chipotle, cherry-lemonade Kool-Aid, and a rerun of House on cable, it was just my boys and me.
