We had 4 storms in a row towards the end of last week. On the first night my girls were scared. There was loud, clapping thunder and it had them worried. I sat with them until they were tired eno...

There’s someone in this town who I hung out with a fair bit when I first moved here, because we had a mutual friend. Her and I never really BECAME friends, but whenever we’d see each other around...

Okay so I’ve since found out that the wonderful little VW I had in mind will be expensive for services and repairs. We have heard this from 2 people and also done a fair bit of research online. O...

She giggles a lot. It’s a breath of fresh air most of the time. I don’t always feel like giggling though. Sometimes I just want quality sister time in the way I know how. It shows our age gap. Sh...

The thing is (to add to the list…) is that they want to control me. In my own house. They want to control my plans. They want to take over. All in my own house. They want to tell me when to go ou...

When they are here, frustration tightens its grip on my neck. With each passing hour, I feel a poison slowly concoct itself in my stomach. I hid behind a bunch of curtains before and laughed qui...

I have been with my man for 10 years. He just had 10 days off work, post-vasectomy. Tonight, after he got ready for work again, he came up to me with a sadness in his eyes to say goodbye and sai...

Having mum and dad here was short but (mostly) sweet. I found out while they were here that they would be leaving a day earlier than I had thought. I don’t know whether that was a miscommunicatio...
