I’m not going to wait until you’re done Pretending you don’t need anyone I’m standing here naked (Song Lyrics from James Arthur-Naked) So I’ve been trying EVERYTHING to feel more connected to my...


So last Friday I got an email from my daughters school saying that she was a close contact to someone that tested positive for Covid. A few hours later, I get an email from my sons daycare (he go...

Ungrateful Asshole

Imagine the woman you love taking 100% care of you, being by your side pre and post amputation, taking time off of work, tending to your medications, appointments, and making sure that you’re com...

Long Story Short

My boyfriend ended up having his leg amputated! These past few weeks have been exhausting emotionally, mentally AND physically. As you can imagine, my life is completely consumed with this stuff...


This first full week of 2022 has been a DOOZY! I cannot tell you when I last had a good nights rest! My boyfriend was admitted into the hospital on Monday (after being sent home from the ER last ...


In lieu of gifts, I want to start giving my children more experiences. If things had gone according to my plans then we would be at Sea World right now. Even when plane ticket prices were doable,...

Pretty Lights on the Tree

Everything is great over this way. Currently sitting in my nicely decorate kitchen (Poinsettia’s on the table, Disney Christmas tablecloth, Santa Hat chair covers, tinsel on the walls, and listen...

I have NOT been okay

…and that is okay. Whilst, my Post-Covid Chest pains (mentioned in previous entry) have stopped, I now have POST-COVID DEPRESSION! Woohoo! Like..it’s been bad. I thought I’ve been low before, but...

Post-Covid Chest Pains

Anyone else have them? The most maddening thing about all of this is that it’s just assumed that some of these emergency issues will continue for some time after you’re done being contagious. For...

Recovered (kinda)

Wow! Where has time gone! It was a month ago that I got Covid! And tomorrow will make 2 weeks since I’ve been back to work/ started at my new building location! And 3 weeks since my daughter star...


This is a HUGE win in my book. I think when I made my entry of Covid symptoms I was having the other day, I hadn’t yet lost my sense of taste or smell, but it happened the next day. To be honest,...


Why is it that when someone gets disgnosed with Covid suddenly everyone looks at them like they’ve been out maskless at large parties? As if I haven’t been wearing a mask no matter what this enti...


Yep, you read it right. No I’m not vaccinated (nor am I anti-vaccine) and yes I ALWAYS wore my mask. So, I was sick on Friday (the first day of school was Thursday). My symptoms were irritated t...


I’m embarrassed at how much I spent. You should see my daughters 1st grade school supply list. It doesn’t help that I’ve put it off and most other area schools have already begun. She doesn’t sta...


None. All my kids do is scream and cry. Any activity that I offer them, gets met with eye rolls or more yelling and screaming. How dare I suggest they go outside and play? How dare I assume that ...


I’m typing this as my 2 year old is screaming and crying right next to me trying to crawl into my skin. I say crawl into my skin because he woke me up before 7, and then I held him for a half hou...


…and I cry more and more. I’m SO TIRED OF CRYING! I’m crying because I’m frustrated. I’m crying because I’m sad. I’m crying because I want them to go away. I literally wake up every day and appro...


Being a mom is HARD. I don’t even have a space or time to cry, and if I start crying then we would all be crying. There’s just no space or time to cry. It’s hard enough dealing with my boyfriends...


I’m tired of these kids! Potty training my youngest has been incredibly hard. He’ll take his diapers off after he uses them and ask for a new one, but he hasn’t quite made the connection that he ...


I’m sure everyone is dying to hear how my daughters new dosage of ADHD medicine took (sarcasm). Well, the only symptom she complained about was a tummy ache on the first day. That was it. I also ...


My 6 year old daughter was back to herself yesterday morning after the introduction to her ADHD med debacle (previous entry). So much so that she woke up with an entire list of things for me and ...


I swear, I cannot make this stuff up. I am BEYOND exhausted. My daughter slept in a bit this morning, so I woke her up because today was THE day…the day that she was to start her ADHD medicine. I...


So my daughter (6) is currently enrolled at the Boys and Girls Club for Summer day camp. This is her first year doing Summer Camp, but Spring Break was her first time doing a camp in general. She...


It’s barely 10am, and my 6 year old is screaming her lungs out. This of course comes after she was confronted about something I took out of her pants pockets yesterday. Magically, the stuff reapp...


Do you know how guilty it makes me feel to write that out let alone say it out loud? I’m here claim that statement though and breathe life into it because so society has made it seem that women a...
