Memories! 3 years ago. 0630 shift change. My oldest and I in the firehall kitchen. Firehall mornings added a whole new level of stress but the kids took it in stride. I was already having to force myself out of bed to go to work and get there on time. And having to take the […]
I had to sketch the prick in my nightmares that grabs my legs and jerks me out of my bed. This morning though, he got me good. I had my back turned and I knew someone was there.And like a weirdo, I always tell my REAL self that I’m only dreaming and nothing will happen […]
photo from http://www.bitmoji. com and the Bitmoji app To be honest, this episode is a re-run…on a loop…. I was working outside on one of my 103 unfinished projects and decided to change from my glasses into my contacts. So I head back into the house through the back patio. I walk straight into the […]
A sketch I drew of “the man of my dreams”…. Hahaha! Not looking for sympathy here…just sharing because I know I can’t possibly be the only one who experiences these. Does anyone else have a nightmare after you hit the snooze button? Like within a few minutes after falling back to sleep? I just had […]
When it was time for my lockers to be cleared out at work, I just simply couldn’t do it. So I my husband did it for me. Those buckets he brought home are still in our living room, waiting for me to process them without ending up a dysfunctional pile on the floor, wallowing in […]

“It may be a slow process, but quitting won’t speed it up”. (Some random Pinterest quote) I have to take a break from myself often. My mind screams ugly things at me. Shitty things. But I keep moving forward. To be honest, most days I question if I’m moving at all because it’s at a […]
This is a post from a while back that I’ve tweaked. Figured I would share it again. Because sharing is caring, right? Ha! I’ve heard and read so much criticism about different styles of parenting. It seems that everyone is an expert in how others should do things. I’m not an expert in anything, but […]
This time of year is so draining. It’s not just the heat. It’s the heart. It’s the mind. Its the profound memories. It’s the things you have no control over. The insights. Certain times of years remind you of what you lost and/or what you let go of. Things happen that open your eyes wider […]
Not too long ago I was informed that I had a crew that was “deficient” in a subject matter. I was taken by surprise with this. But then again I wasn’t. That might make sense to you if you know me, or it might not. Anyways…over the years I have honed in on the skill […]
