There is something that has been bothering me for a while. Like anything you read on social media, unless you truly know someone – know them personally – you can’t believe everything you read. As bloggers we present ourselves the way we want to be seen – all our faults hanging out on the washline, … Continue reading Blogging vs. Reality

Words of Wisdom This Holiday Season
When your phone rings at 8 a.m. on Christmas Eve, don’t answer it. When your cell phone rings 10 minutes later and you can see it’s your mom calling from her restaurant, answer it anyway, because you can run but you can’t hide. Some dogs don’t like jingle bell elf slippers. (Seriously, as of this … Continue reading Words of Wisdom This Holiday Season
3:38 a.m.
Bladder calling! My legs are trapped in a web of sheets and blankets, items deemed unnecessary for a sleeping Todd that get pushed to the bed’s center and somehow always end up twisted around me like a boa constrictor. To make matters worse, the cat is sleeping at my feet, further restricting movement. A handful … Continue reading 3:38 a.m.
Skipping Out, While Silverfox Takes Chicago
I took my medication on an empty stomach earlier this week and slept for two hours. Some days it's a gamble, between high anxiety and being comatose. Really, all I probably need to do is stop drinking coffee. The gamble for the rest of the week was to skip the pills and challenge anxiety to … Continue reading Skipping Out, While Silverfox Takes Chicago
Random Thoughts For September
We went shopping at Lowe’s last weekend which was shocking because it was Todd’s idea. Todd had boycotted the store after a debacle there about a year ago. However, Lowe-gate couldn’t hold a candle to an entirely different debacle involving kitchen rugs from Big Lots. Todd’s busy brain took a short detour to kitchen rug … Continue reading Random Thoughts For September
Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough
People have asked me why I’m not writing much… this is [one reason] why. Life is busier than I expected it would be these last three months. And now that school has let out – and Veruca’s softball season has ended – summer workouts for football have begun. The title of this post is kinda … Continue reading Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough
Random Thoughts – March 10th
It snowed this morning. First snowfall that actually laid, this year. It was 41 degrees and misty at 7 a.m., and twenty-five minutes later it was 37 degrees as I drove Veruca to school and chunks of wet snow started falling. There were 200 black birds in the tree next to the driveway, all shouting … Continue reading Random Thoughts – March 10th
Call Me Honey
I don’t know how it happened. Somewhere along the way after I moved south, I became Honey. Everywhere I go, somebody calls me honey. Every time I’d enter the elementary school, which was often thanks to a T1 kid, the girls behind the desk would call me honey. Hi honey. What can I do for … Continue reading Call Me Honey
Life After Midnight
Home from work at 1:36 a.m. and enjoying a little leftover Ferrari-Carano Siena Red, which is delicious by the way, while the kitty snores behind me and everyone else sleeps. It sucks working Saturday nights, if only because I come home and Todd is sound asleep at 1 a.m. because he rises so early. … Continue reading Life After Midnight
