Damn skimming of Bloglines! 1) Tennis: I wish I had a backboard to go hit balls again. I use to ride down the street to a local school & use a high brick wall for practice. I did try out, but got my ass whooped by all the preppy girls who did have private lessons. 2) Dads: Seems like we have a simliar relationship with our dads. Of course, mine has been with me my whole life, but still distant. People say I should give him some slack because he didn't have a dad to show him the way. But I don't buy it too much as the hubby didn't have a very loving dad either, but the hubby's a great father. I could go on and on, but I won't take up more of your space. Think this would be a good op-ed for LM? How my father figures into my mothering? LMK. 3)Family: def. the people around you who love and support you. Blood or not. My immediate family is made up of only one blood relative and that's Ella. *hugs* wow…I missed this when you first posted. Damn skimming of Bloglines!

" I might still have the photos my ex-husband sent me of a family (his) gathering -- with himself and our kids cut out of it. He also sent me a blank picture frame, one that had an adorable picture of the kids in it. I would like to write a big curse word about him here, but it's a family site. “You can’t just excise people from photo albums and pretend they do’t matter. ”
