Back at It
Getting ready to start taping the new season of Divorce Court that will begin airing in the fall of this year. Off to LA and back to work. Very glad about that!
Still working on some new stuff, I’ll begin pursuing that this week as well.
Again I thank you for all of your support. I had mom on speed dial these last three days. It’s one of those things mom is good at (my particular issue) The only thing she loves more than getting a call from one of her girls is being able to help them.
We haven’t solved anything yet but we avoided a crisis and we got my head right about the rest of it.
I am putting it on my emotional shelf for the next couple weeks (I will be out of town more than in). Pull it back out when I get home.
I have a list of things I want to blog about. A lady asked what to do about a daughter in law who doesn’t like her own kid because it is a he and not a she. Heart breaker. Haiti – best place to donate for long term good. I’m trying to figure that out.
Your boy, Boomy has been offering comic relief through out. His antics are funnier now because E is taking the lead.
I too have gotten my sense of humor back. The other day Me, 17 and The Boom were in the kitchen and 17 asked me what’s wrong. (My angst, it appears, had breached the perimeters) I can mask that from everyone but Mom and 17 – he is very perceptive and tuned into my moods. So anyway when he asked what was wrong with me I said:
“I am not at all sure that my children love me with sufficient fervor and intensity and I’m upset about it.” Even Boomy smiled at that one.
As I am looking at this it doesn’t sound funny but we have a running joke in this house about the scope and gravity of my love for them. Sometimes I walk into their rooms with a very serious look on my face grab them and say stuff like. “If you truly knew the extent and depth of my love for you, you would implode under the sheer weight of it.” Or I come in and announce with great fanfare “You people are the BEST thing I’ve ever done!” Then walk out.
They roll their eyes. Make comments about how weird I am. They also remind me that while it’s okay to do that when we’re alone that I should NEVER do that in front of their friends.
My response “I will take that under consideration by I make you no promises. My love for you is a large and wild thing that cannot always be controlled” They roll their eyes some more.
Its odd and over the top and is not immediately appreciated – but I believe that kind of thing seeps through that thick rough blanket of teenaginess and rests in their soul. And even if it doesn’t I sure do enjoy the hell out of it.
Love is a wonderful thing.
