observations of a High School Sub-mamma's cooking

I was having a conversation about our favorite home cooked meal. One young lady, shared with me that she really missed her mamma's cooking. I asked who she was living with and found out she "stays with" her aunt. She went on to explain that her mama just wasn't good for her. She described going to her Grandma's to see her family. "Crack on the counter and weed on the TV, they don't even try to hide it!" I told her I was glad she had her aunt to "stay with". She said she was too, but she missed her mamma's cooking.....

Oh God...I pray for your dear sweet children....

Mother of a soon to be Bride: Date Change!

After carefully laying out monthly plans of a thorough to-do list, I was thrown a curve ball. "Mom, what would the possibility be of changing the date.. From October to August! I literally felt my heart skip a beat... "I thought you always dreamed of a Fall wedding?" Well... I did she responded but, financially it would be better for our FASFA if we were married before the semester began. I understood that...in fact I understood that back in January when she set the October wedding date. I talked till I was blue in the face about having an August wedding or a Christmas wedding... I said over (and over again) how difficult it was going to be to be married mid semester. But at that time, The mother of the soon to be bride was unable to convince the dreamer of another season. However I underestimated the influence of FASFA, Fiancee & Finance! Tonight I will re-write my to-do list. They will be a little longer than they once were However I will do all I can to enjoy the process because now I am the Mother of a sooner to be bride!
