Mommy's Time Out in the Windy City

I am in Chicago this weekend and had forgotten the beauty of this city in the summer time. It is so lively and energetic. It rained last night which canceled my sunset cruise. But today, I was able to go down to Navy Pier.

The sailboat races began today. The sails on some of the boats were gorgeous. I was not able to capture good shots with the camera on my cell phone.

The kids are back home in Phoenix and seem to be having a great weekend. They were at the mall on the merry-go-round when these pictures were taken.


He looks like such a big boy!


I have been traveling a lot lately for work and it has been bittersweet. I love my kids with all my heart and soul. But I miss my life as a flight attendant - the freedom and flexibility. It is hard raising two kids alone.

While in sitting at Navy Pier, I began to watch the couples who were out enjoying time together and the families as well. Although I truly believe my children are healthy and well-balanced, because of my bad choice, they do not have a family unit and I do not have a spouse. I am not feeling sorry for myself. I made the choice to leave and ultimately divorce Lewis. (A decision I do not regret.) I am just vent writing I guess. I do not have a way to release my frustrations over my current position in life. But I know all too well, things change instantly. I know that I am not ready for a relationship as I am still trying to clean the financial mess from my marriage. I just wish I could see the end of this portion of my journey in sight. Thanks for reading and letting me vent.
