I’m in a phase of life where things are just…really freaking hard. It’s a lot of stress and frustrations and things I simply cannot control. No matter how much I try, or I might want to. Mother’s Day yesterday was rough, but…it was fine. I was sick with a cold, we spent just about all […]

It’s been another week full of business and chaos and complicated feelings. So…basically a completely normal week for me. 🤦🏻♀️ Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, which, if you know me, you’ll know I have some pretty complicated feelings about. In the adoption community the day before Mother’s Day is known as Birth Mother’s Day. And that

Do you know what happens when you open up a pressure cooker without first releasing the pressure? Well, if you don’t, here’s what happens. “The contents will erupt violently, potentially causing serious burns, injuries, and property damage.” Thaaaaaaaats how I felt last night. And honestly, how I am still feeling now. Like I was opened

I don’t know what I’m looking for, but I feel like I’m constantly searching for something. Something to fulfill me. To feel less empty, to feel like I have a place in this world. Or a purpose. I really don’t know. I just feel so… empty. Or lacking. Like there’s a part of me that

Ugh. That’s all I have to say this morning. My husband and I have been working our asses off lately trying to get caught up on our bills. Doing door dashing in every spare moment we have, trying to squeeze every workable ounce out of a day. Last night, it was a pretty horrible storm

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
Yes, it did get worse. Read More »
