With October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, much of my time has been taken up by nonprofit events and speaking engagements, so I apologize for not having a “real” post ready this week. But what I can do, is catch you up the articles that I have written elsewhere, and also fill you
************************ Heeeelllllooooo everyone! My gosh, WHERE IS THE TIME GOING? I feel like these last few months have just run over me; some great, other parts not-so-great, and a few moments have just been insane. Can we talk about “insane,” for a few minutes here? Because here is something that I cannot even wrap my
Happy 4th of July! I hope that all of my American friends had a wonderful holiday! My holiday was spent working at a concert beer tent, with the rest of my nonprofit board, and taking the kids to our local fireworks festival. It was great! After that, we spent the day recovering in a friend’s
As I said a few weeks ago, we FINALLY moved out of the hotel, and back into our home, after a flood displaced us for a while. It still wasn’t quite finished when we moved back in, but we were so ready to get out of the hotel that we didn’t even care. I
If you remember from my last post, “Don’t Tell Me I’m Losing My Son,” I was having a difficult time finding joy amongst The Boy Child’s complicated health situation. I felt like I was swimming, and swimming, and I wasn’t getting anywhere, except closer to the bottom of the pool. But, if you also recall,
Happy Friday! “I’m so glad I just have a plain head again” the Boy Child said tonight in reference to having the EEG wires removed, and I couldn’t agree more! That extended EEG was rough, and his poor head head blistered and welted from something they used on him. And today, by the time most
Happy Saturday Everyone! The Guy and I had a fun little date night last weekend…. …. So we are spending this one at home. Well, almost at home. I did go to dance class this morning, and The Guy may or may not have lost a bet and… He came too. It was pretty awesome
Happy New Year!!! Is it just me, or was 2016 really weird? I mean it doesn’t compare to the year my husband disappeared and my entire life exploded, but I have to say, this year was a close second. Or am I missing something and do other people also routinely find their “missing” former spouses
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers!! And… Happy November to everyone else! I hope that you all had an AMAZING day! We spent the evening with my Platonic Hubby’s family. It was really nice to be able to spend my first married holiday with both my new hubby, and the Platonic Hubby (friend) who
************** Hey everyone! I’m sorry it’s been a little quiet around here. As many of you probably know, October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and as the founder of a DV organization, October tends to go by in a blur of awareness events, meetings, and speaking engagements, and this year has proved to be no
So I’ve been attempting and failing to get a new blog post out for DAYS now, and I’m finally waving the white flag. Between The Boy Child getting taken down by the stomach flu, The Girl Child getting hit in the face at daycare and needing stitches, a bunch of year end work that needed
Sorry, I’ve been lazy, so here’s a post that has been building up in my file folder for two months now and I just haven’t gotten around to publishing it. I have however, gotten enough emails from readers asking “why haven’t you posted any of the free weekend activities that you guys do?” to
My husband said he was going to the store... and never came back. It's been a crazy life that's left me functional enough to survive yet dysfunctional enough to make me funny. I'm living my life devoid of most social graces while single parenting two young children and I absolutely love it....most days.
