Welcome to my Life

The best laid plans

The other night during the girls' avoiding going to bed chit/chat the sentance was uttered, "[certain family member who shall remain nameless] told us we are oops babies." Oops Babies. This is not the first time this [family memeber who shall remain nameless] has over stepped her their bounds. It is not ...

The Scar

The ugly truth had revealed itself in front of him. She had hopped to avoid it that day, but fate had turned it’s back on her. The rage she saw in her eyes scared her, scared her in a way she had never been scared of him before. She was ...

Come and listen to a story.. or two or three.

Today was Moving Day Part I. That means the kids and I moved a lot of boxes and light furniture into the new house. As the day wore on, the kids dropped out one by one until it was just me and Scooter. Scooter and I are pretty tight because ...

Them or Us?

I'm about to fall flat on my face, yet again. Oh and put my foot in my mouth along the way. I'm graceful like that. Yesterday when the news broke about the Fort Hood shooting my first question was "Them or us?" That is a very tellling quesiton and one that is ...

The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow isn’t always a shiny as you would think it should be, but it’s still gold.

I'm toying with a new idea on my blog. I think it sounds fun, but it requires reader participation and I'm not sure there would be enough participation to get it off the ground. I thought it would be fun to have readers sumbit questions, and let my girls (12 ...

I’ve lived 41 years and finally realized life is a do-it-yourself job.

Passave Agression at it’s absolute best. Or, what I really want to tell you to your face, but it’s never the right time or place and well you just don’t realize how lucky you are.

I sat down today, pen in hand and started to write all that was on my brain. I've been in a funk for the past few days. I thought it might be my medication, but even with a couple tweeks to my cocktail I'm still feeling out of sorts. Then ...

Some days I make my mother so proud. You’re welcome Mom.

The Great Pumpkin (patch)

Halloween is sneaking up on us. Ok, more like rush at us like a freight train. Well, maybe not that fast. Whatever. It’s coming. This was our last weekend to have the kids before the big wear-funky-clothes-and-go-door-to-door-begging-for-candy-from-strangers night. We spend months if not years teaching our children ‘don’t take candy from ...

Things I have decided I will not blog about today

Since I am not entirely sure what I can/will be blogging about, I can say with a great deal of confidence I will not be blogging about the following. Avitaween I just don't understand how am jealous of people who can travel across the country for a weekend of drunken debauchery ...
