I am enjoying this rainy evening watching Madelyn play with her puzzles. We would have been dancing in the rain if it wasn’t for the lightning and thunder. She is SUPER CUTE when she is thinking hard trying to solve this puzzle.  Growing up here in Northeast Ohio there is this part of me that&hel...

Baby girl is with her dad this weekend. My girl is coming over to bring me a pressure washer for my patio tonight and we are gonna spray paint a table! Adulting! That's HOT right? lmao She wants to go get a burrito somewhere; I am down for that for sure!  It is on my…

I picked up Mad B after work and we went to get her brother. She squeezed her juice box all over the back seat of the new Soul, like I said she would. We got Ant and headed to the park for basketball. Grace stopped to say hi too, 3 out of 4 isn’t bad!…

I started a new book Safe haven. I may just stop reading, listening to podcast and music! I am so over all this crying. I think you messed my brain up! I felt that one!   https://open.spotify.com/episode/0mQikpCUnUGXZutNQUBx0k?si=6Aea_3CDQF2FGAPPUgvB7Q https://open.spotify.com/track/0zZcAOmi...

In all honesty.. cutting right to the chase.. F depression. Its a catch 22 that will blind side you. Opt out of&he...

Who am I? Other than a mom? Other than a wife? I feel so lost. So unimportant. So frozen and stuck.  I feel as if I’m floating through life. Never actually happy. Sure, I love my kids and husband, but I don’t love myself. I feel no connection to things. I’m not truly happy. I…

I wish there were more scholarships I could apply for, this paying out of pocket for school stuff really sucks! The only real place I have gone for scholarships is Niche and I never seem to get them. The school doesn't have anything available right now either so that really sucks as well so I&hel...

Yay! Open Diary!!! I have missed you, my long, lost love. I itched to rejoin. I yearned for you. Sadly, I forgot my own name and login credentials.   No worries. I am a different human being with different interests and in a different stage of life. So, I'll just create a new name which…

What a boring pic. But to me, it's beautiful. A mess? Yes. But what it represents is bringing me to tears. A coloring book, a Lego set about to be built, a favorite stuffed animal, a science kit waiting to be explored is proof that we are all home together. That we are learning, growing,…
