I bid 2012 a joyous adieu. 2012 saw a lot of things... the end to a toxic, dangerous relationship; new health issues with the kids; heartbreak and loss.
There were good moments to be sure, but the majority of the year was spent in unhappiness.
So, it is with a glass-half-full attitude that I sit with Kinder Major and await 2013.
I don't have gargantuan hopes for 2013, just the small dream that it will bring happiness and peace.
Blessings to you, readers, and Happy New Year!

Nothing I can say or do.
Helplessness. That is how I feel right now. Helpless, angry, heartbroken, and frightened.
I have nothing to say or do to bring comfort to those families who lost their babies today. I had nothing to say or do when it happened in Columbine or any other school, either.
But I find myself angry, and wishing desperately that I could.
I want to hold each grieving parent, I want to place flowers at the childrens' graves. I want to go back in time, do something, some ripple, to make this have not happened.
I don't know why this has affected me so deeply. Perhaps because I live with the potential mortality of my children on a daily basis, and school is one of the things that provides me a sense of normalcy in our lives that are in constant upheaval. This event makes me remember that even normal isn't safe sometimes.
Parents, friends, teachers, know my heart and my thoughts are with you. All of you, past and terribly present.
