While a good, solid music appreciation post is nothing new to this blog, what you might find different about this post is the genre. A far cry from our typical rap/hip hop…we’re going country today. When I first moved to Texas 11 years ago, there were only 2 radio stations I found that came in […]
While the universe has been not so subtly kicking my ass the last few weeks, I have been struggling to hang in there. The more life shit and stress and all of the extra that piles on, the more overwhelmed and burnt out I get. I wish I could say we were out of the

The last few weeks have been…umm…how do we put this…really fucking brutal. The burnout is real, the exhaustion is insane, and I am just so…I don’t know. Tired. I know I haven’t talked about it a ton, but I’m actually doing mostly really well with the sobriety/not drinking thing. After the first 2 weeks of

Well, we’re all finally home. No hospitals, no doctors, no school (because it’s the weekend), and to top it all off – we celebrated Easter! Usually, we don’t celebrate Easter on the traditional Easter date, but we celebrate Greek, or Orthodox, Easter. It’s usually on a different week, either before or after “regular” Easter (it

Things have gone from bad to worse, and I’m absolutely exhausted. Yesterday was a day that must’ve come straight from the brains of hell, delivered just for me. On Monday night (but really Tuesday morning), Phoenix, my 6 year old, who has been struggling with an ongoing GI issue, decided to throw up a ton

When it rains it pours here. And oh, is that exactly what it’s doing. My post on Thursday detailed my own semi medical emergency that I was going through, and just as I had FINALLY agreed to go to the ER to be seen on Friday…guess what happens? I get a call from my son’s

While I have spent the past 6 days emotionally recovering from the bullshit that life can sometimes be…I was handed yet another curveball. As you may or may not know (but you probably do, let’s be honest), me and my 3 kids suffer from an insanely rare, and in fact non existent outside of our

This past week has truly been…unfathomable. It’s been hard. And heartbreaking. And lonely, and brutal, and so on. I’ve been shut down. Because any alternative has honestly been too much to consider. I feel broken and…yeah. Just broken. I had therapy tonight after a truly horrific day. While I don’t yet have the words or
Today was awful. For every single reason. My heart does t have it in me to go into any kind of detail. But… Tornados. Flash floods. Horrible anxiety provoking weather…that continues to tomorrow late afternoon. And that was honestly just the welcomed distraction. My birth son turned 11 years old today. It was an awful
I hate today because of what tomorrow is. It already feels so heavy, the tidal wave of grief is already starting to flood in. Tomorrow is my birth son’s 11th birthday. A day that consumes me with grief and depression every single year. I don’t have a plan for tomorrow, I don’t know how I’m
