Very quiet morningIt was so weird not having the boys home this morning. The house was so quiet. They are staying the night with Joel's ex again tonight. It will be a very calm night. But I think a calm night is just what I need right.
Surgery updateWow this sitting around is so boring. Can’t complain about the pain cause there really isn’t any to speak of. Dr said don’t put any weight on my right hip for a month. Already started physical therapy but only so much they can do until I can put... (...)
I'll Never Get ThereI know it's important that I'm there and I thought I knew the way. Everything is familiar and I'm on time. It's difficult to cross the road, but eventually I do and suddenly there's the building I need in front of me: I think. For some reason I... (...)
Second day off sugar Well, I am not gonna lie, this isn't going to be a good day.😔 Last night, all 3 girls and I started with the "Race to the Restroom" phase. Along with the headcahes from heck. Not fun!😔 This morning, when I got up at 3 am to take my daughter to... (...)
🌹 Redefining Strength 🌹🌹I had a conversation with my 25yr old daughter recently about what it truly means to be a strong woman. For years, people told me I was strong, strong for staying, strong for enduring, strong for surviving everything life threw at me. But I told... (...)
New World Decisions From the Old World This poster was placed in every school in England in 1870. It bans compulsory religious education (RE). I hope you can make out the print. This was later overturned and RE became compulsory for all, with conscience clauses for those pupils not of... (...)
Do you have a favorite winter breakfast? Winter is setting in here in KC, so that means it's time for Cream of Wheat for breakfast. My mother made it for us as kids, so it's definitely a comfort food for me. 🙂

The War Between Strategy and SincerityThere’s a war inside me. One part of me wants to move like Shera Seven, untouched, calculating, never caught slipping. A woman who knows her worth so deeply that she places herself above disappointment. A woman who does not beg, chase, or cry over... (...)
Feeling overstimulated We had a great time at the game but I am feeling it now. So we're all sitting by the fire and I'm just trying to calm it all down. So I'm enjoying a cigar and a snack
My mum cooked us dinner tonight.I'm pleased to say she prepared us a lovely traditional meal. But I'm really disappointed that she has stained my white handled knife and my spatula with tumeric. I use these ingredients myself and often but none of my surfaces or utensils are... (...)

Has anyone else received a text? Asking what political party you are affiliated with? I ignored it the first time. So they texted me again. I feel that's personal so i won't be responding.
Time with my kidsI spent a lot of time with my kids this weekend. We had some discussions I wasn't expecting but glad we did. I picked up my daughter on Saturday morning to take her to a dance class. I'd been for a run and had two friends in the car. She said... (...)

This poem is not related to my own life .5 Years I can still hear your laughter… See the sun in your hair… The only difference is that you are not here Don’t tell me to get over it… Don’t tell me to forget… Been five long years, and I’m not over it yet. I feel my fingers stroking your... (...)
Time to log out Thank you to everyone who visited with me. You have made this a wonderful day. 🙂 The time I spent with you online today helped me make it through the first sugar-free day with relative ease.🙂 See you tomorrow.🤗
Forget to RememberEver forget who you are? Strange feeling at that. The more I inch closer to the truth of the world. It’s like parts of me fall away. Like that’s who I use to be but it’s no longer needed. I’m healing. And I remember who I really am.

Letters Under the DoorI’ve started to notice a pattern in myself that traces all the way back to childhood. When I was young, I felt invisible in my own home—not ignored outright, but quietly dismissed. My mom had a close friend she spent so much time laughing with,... (...)
Box of old pics mom sent Mom sent a couple of boxes of pics from my way back years, hence the profile pic. LOL. Piles of Polaroids. When I see the Polaroids I feel ancient, this is how I see myself with the camera. 🤣
