...in me. I'm not quite sure how to describe it. I'm in a weird season...oh wait. You know what it is? I think I'm starting to actually feel like an adult now. I know, I know, it's weird. I'm kind of a whirlwind of a person. I'm extremely carefree and spontaneous driving all the type … Continue reading Something is changing…
I have a serious problem lately. I'm self-loathing to a fault. I was sitting in front of a mirror today while getting a haircut and I couldn't help but stare at myself in pure disgust. The black tarp covering my whole body from under my chin to my shins; even my paper white ankles looked … Continue reading Self-Loathing
Well... It's that time of year again--school. I'm always so nervous on the first day of school no matter that's it my seventh first day of school. I guess I'm nervous because it's new. New students. New year. New clothes. New shoes. New supplies. I decided to move classrooms this year; on purpose. It was … Continue reading Where is your Sense of Adventure?
Does anybody remember October? I don't. I was excited and got pumpkins out near the first of October and then, boom it was Halloween. But everything in between is gone. Oh and November?

Or I'm PMS'ing. Ugh... … Continue reading Trauma Kids
I grew up on Monopoly. My three big sisters would come over for the weekend and my dad and my mom would get out the vintage game of Monopoly. There would be cardboard pizza, Doritos, Deans dip, and Pepsi. Mind you this was the 80's. I remember my mom scratching the middle of the board … Continue reading how parents really feel about game night

Just when I thought I couldn't get any worse as a hot mess mom, I do. I have relented to taking showers every two days. I'm only shaving once a week. I have been spot cleaning my jeans with really yummy smelling soaps from Bath and Body Works so I feel like it's better than … Continue reading I miss my balls…
God made babies cute for a reason. He really got us with those sparkly, crisp eyes and wet smile. Their soft wispy hairs that never lay down. Their warm soft forehead smells soothing when you kiss it. You inhale their goodness and instantly feel relaxed; at home. Their limber little bodies fit perfectly against your … Continue reading To parents everywhere…
