Spending time with my Mom

Now that it is pretty much official that my mom won’t be working anymore, I decided to spend some time with her this afternoon.

We watched TV together. A&E had their original telefilm, “Jane Austen’s Emma” on in the afternoon. My mom and I watched it.

It wasn’t the greatest expression in Mother-Son relations, but sometimes I feel that my mom is kind of lonely right now. What does she do at home when all of us are at work?

I guess work is such an important part of your life, you know? Now that my mom isn’t working any more, I think she’s struggling with defining her sense of purpose now.

Work defines who we are.

That’s friggin’ scary.

So I worry about my mom.

When spring hits, I’m going to work with her to get the garden up to snuff.
