Surviving Widowhood with Writing, Reading, Soccer and Bilingualism

My dear, soccer-playing, profoundly Christian, Colombian husband died in 2005, leaving me with two beautiful boys, Gabriel, 15, and Mario, 13, to raise. As I mourn my husband's loss, I am looking for balance. I need to work as a writer, be a good mother/father, play and teach my sons Spanish!

Oh the joy of books sales during a recession! Our library's annual book sale ended this week. And on the last few days, you could fill a big shopping bag with books and pay only $10. I picked up some Frank McCourt books I've always wanted to read, as well as one of the few Dick Francis books I haven't read. Now I just need to go and buy another book shelf.
