reading time: 2 minutes The end of my last shred of sanity! I think teenagers are the bane of my existence, specifically MY teenager! Why is it that the simplest thing has to be a major argument, when 9 times out of 10, the subject at hand shouldn’t have ever been in question in […]
reading time: 4 minutes Remembering Grandma Ethel I know I haven’t written in a bit, but I have had good reason! Last Friday was the anniversary of my Grandma Ethel’s death and I just couldn’t. The year following her passing has been really hard and I probably am not much better about it now […]
reading time: 2 minutes Of course, any day I have to get up at 0530 already has at least one strike against it. But it isn’t even 0800 yet and already I am looking at 3 strikes. Not a good start! I had to drive Donovan to school today so he could meet his […]
reading time: < 1 minute The Birthday Boy Well, the boy had a great day full of well wishes from friends, family, and teachers alike. Corey was able to call him, which totally made his day. I also got him the present he had asked for, which he was most happy about it. We have […]
reading time: < 1 minute Feeling a little less out of sorts,… For the moment, I think I have gotten over my “f&%k my life” feeling. Getting a little blog love from Jana, Selina, and Jess made me feel better, too. Jana is psychologist and she didn’t immediately suggest that I be committed, so that […]
reading time: 3 minutes What the hell is it with teenagers? One minute they are laughing and HUMAN and the next they are obnoxious butt heads. Whoever says that teen girls are the worst clearly never lived with my kid. I know he is really busy lately, between normal school work, track practice, and […]
reading time: 2 minutes For the second day in a row, the walls have been shaking in my little apartment. And not in a good way! My upstairs neighbors have apparently forgotten that people live below them and that, crazy as it sounds, I MIGHT want to both actually be able to hear the […]
reading time: 2 minutes I think I must be an idiot. That probably won’t come as much of a surprise to my readers; it certainly doesn’t come as a surprise to my kids!! But if there is one thing I have learned in life, it is that it rarely pays to try to be […]
reading time: 2 minutes The migraine from hell is upon me. I feel like there is a clan of dwarves mining for something in my skull. This is far less colorful than my usual phrase describing the state of my pain, which is that I feel like I have been skull-f&%ked by a herd […]
reading time: 3 minutes I am so frustrated that I just want to scream. Every day is a struggle with Donovan. Not a single flippin’ day can go by without having to argue with him about some stupid thing or another. It is always the same stupid shit over and over and over again. […]
