Seton Hill Day

by

Yesterday the new freshman class of 2013 was upon Seton Hill University. It was a day of excitement and new adventure for my son. There will be highs and lows the next four years and it will make or break some of the new freshman class..

I found myself walking the halls of this 1837 institution with my son and the man who help bring him into the world eighteen years ago.

Moments it was sureal and haunting being with him other times we laughed and cried while our son registered for classes, spoke with professors and other freshmans.

After lunch me and my son’s father spent some time in the chapel. We prayed and discussed our mistakes and failings in life, but after the tears we knew in our hearts our son has thrived in spite of our divorce and he has grown into a wonderful young man who has the world at his feet.

Before we knew it, we were late for a final meeting with our son’s major advisor. When we finally found where we were supposed to be it was in a class room full of other parents and students ; we looked like two tardy students walking into class late.

Everyone looked at me and my ex including my son.

Opps we were caught misbehaving!

Our day ended with pizza and some laughs!

About Mom’s Soap Box

Moms Soapbox is a forum for all of the fantastically ridiculous issues that face Moms (and Dads) in today's world of information overload and endless checklists on how to be the perfect parent. My intention is to break some stereotypes about what a Mother should be and share with my readers the experiences I have had in raising my two teenage sons while trying to juggle graduate school, a house full of responsibilities and a desire to go with my gut when it comes to parenting. My hope is to show that you can be comfortable enough with yourself and your family to show the world that it isn't a competition but rather a journey to learn and laugh as much as possible
