Make things better by looking ahead....

[Umbrella24]

I noticed myself not being patient when h was telling me his feelings about owen -- not in an "impatient -- get it out" kind of way but more like I was so excited that he was TELLING me how he was FEELING that I talked more than I should have....I need to slow down and let him tell me his stuff at his own pace

This is good you realized it. I remember way back when you first started that this was an issue, not being a good listener. So there's still room for improvement. Sigh, first my little girl is growing up, now Sage. Have I mentioned I'm feeling really old today?

Thanks for knocking me back in step. I think my W's tiny baby steps really threw me off. First positive thing in a couple of months or so, and I'm feeling a little spooked by it. Weird, isn't it?

And finally, as long as I'm rambling, I'll give you a little bowling story. Last week was the roll-off in our league. One of the guys bowled his first 300 game, not only to get the 300, but their team won the championship by 12 pins! Talk about clutch. It was pretty exciting, at least to a bowling geek.

As for DBing the Red Sox, sometimes you've just gotta accept that no matter how hard they try, they're always going to break your heart. Hey, at least the Pats won recently.
