The political climate for the past year has completely thrown me for a loop. In my eagerness to educate and fight for a new revolution in this country I lost sight of the importance of relationships. Relationships over rules, dogma every time is how I want to live. And I... Continue reading

When I brought my babies home from the hospital I was immediately inundated with questions about their sleep schedule. "How long does she sleep?" "Does he sleep through the night yet?" "I bet they have their days and nights confused." Anyone who tells a new mom that their baby should... Continue reading

The dark gloomy days of winter cause me to be more reflective on the past years events. 2015 is behind us and I won't lie I am happy to see it come to its conclusion. It had not been the worst of my 41 years but it had been quite... Continue reading

Kiss my ass 2015. I am so glad that 2015 is behind me and that there is a new year and many new days ahead of me. There were moments I didn't know if I would make it, parts of me didn't. I let go of so much it. I... Continue reading

Every morning I get up and I am left scratching my head because I think I've awoken to an alternative universe. I'm really sick of the problems in this country being blamed on "godless, immoral liberals". I think those of you who spout such nonsense have no idea what a... Continue reading

Several months ago when we moved I had no idea what kind of neighborhood I would be exactly moving in to. I knew that most the neighbors were older, long term home owners. I knew that we would be the youngest family on the street with a lot of kids,... Continue reading

October is coming to an end. This is by far one of my busiest months of the year since homeschooling. There hasn't been much time for writing. In between running around Mobile and Baldwin County I've been resting, doing my best to preserve my energy. I am nearly seven months... Continue reading

Donald Trump wants to build a wall and promises to make Mexico pay for it. I'm pretty sure this is not to keep the illegal immigrants out but to keep us in should he become President. He would like nothing more than for this to become Trump Nation as Huckabee... Continue reading

This morning our house of sixteen years was auctioned off on the steps of the courthouse. I feel complete relief and it was one of the best financial decisions we have ever made. Before I give you all the details of letting the bank take our house let me tell... Continue reading

My oldest daughter is bringing home a boy from college that she is dating this weekend. I'm both excited and mortified. I don't want to be that mother. I do not want to be the controlling, judgmental mother. I do not want to be the overbearing mother that tells their... Continue reading

I've grown too accustomed to my bed. I spend most days and most my waking hours sitting, laying, or sleeping in it. There are days I don't want to leave my bed because of the pain.This is not depression. This is physical pain with all over body weakness. I find... Continue reading

Social media is not a benign communication. It exposes our flaws and weaknesses. It is easy to bully someone when you believe them to be a stranger, it is easy to say racist remarks or tell inappropriate jokes, and a host of other things. The thing is, if you get... Continue reading

I'm going to be honest, I can't find enough words to describe the Trump Pep Rally in Mobile, Alabama. I've not seen that many people in one place to see one person here on the Gulf Coast since the last time Jimmy Buffet performed here. If you have ever been... Continue reading

When I was 18 years old I worked as a delivery driver for a place called The Rib Room. Instead of pizza, I delivered bbq sandwiches and slabs of ribs to people all over town. I made good money. In fact, I made more than enough to support myself and... Continue reading

12:21am It's raining. I can't fall asleep because the left side of my body is hurting. I just took 800mg of Motrin in hope that it will help. Pain is something I now live with daily. It occurs randomly and often unexplained. I have become "that" person and I hate... Continue reading

I've slept most my Saturday away. When I initially got up this morning to take my meds, because if I don't do it on schedule I pay for it later, I planned on fighting the storm brewing in my head. It was not a headache. It isn't all that painful,... Continue reading

I'm an excellent story teller. When I was in middle school my friend Stacy and I would write stories and share them with each other. Occasionally we would let someone else read them. In high school I wrote a three part novel that could be described as a dark version... Continue reading
