Untitled because I don’t have the right word. Words have been failing me as of late… Do you ever get so angry or upset that there are no words? I usually just end up stringing a bunch of four letter expletives and still no one knows what I’m trying to say. George Floyd. The entireContinue reading “Untitled”

Four Year Anniversary
A time to remember what I will never forget. It’s been four years since my sister Natalie passed away. Of course I’ve been listening to her music and going through photos… Yesterday I watched an episode of American Idol. Not on purpose, the t.v. remote was lost and it’s just what came on. I watchedContinue reading “Four Year Anniversary”
Later, “G”!
Today, Olivia was scheduled to have her G-tube swapped out (something that’s done every 3 months). The doctor asked how things have been going and I told him “Wonderful! We haven’t used the tube at all since January 3rd, and weren’t totally dependent on it half way through December.” He warned us that if OliviaContinue reading “Later, “G”!”
Favorite Prompt
One of my writing teachers’ favorite prompts is “Since I saw you last”. There is too much to write about. I’m going to get back to writing. I am writing, just not blogging. I want to change that. Baby steps. I was going to title this post “Here’s my little toe” but I didn’t wantContinue reading “Favorite Prompt”
For Her, For Me, For All of Us
In an attempt to get Tayla to be more social, I thought I’d look into some volunteer opportunities she might be interested in… That didn’t pan out but I did find something I was interested in! The Crisis Text Line. I’m not sure what it was about their ad in the volunteer section that madeContinue reading “For Her, For Me, For All of Us”
That Was Huge…
I’m sorry for inviting you all (Facebook) to my Improv showcase and then uninviting all of you (in my head). Here’s what happened. Back in April, I started taking an improv class at Huge Improv Theater. (Improv 101, taught by Will Roberts, awesome guy). I didn’t know what to expect… He/she/they (everyone at Huge Theater)Continue reading “That Was Huge…”
Two Years & 20 Weeks Today
“I’m so tired, I can’t even think straight. I don’t know what to do…” “Just go lie down, we can figure it out when you wake up.” Wake up. Wake Up! WAKE UP! I scream into her eternally sleeping face. Two years ago today, my beautiful and talented sister died from an opioid overdose. Every dayContinue reading “Two Years & 20 Weeks Today”
Honestly… Pregnancy Update and an Explantion for Why It’s Been So Long.
Wow. It’s been a few months… I’d wanted to blog along with my pregnancy, but something held me back. Fear, mostly. And feelings, not mine. Here’s the deal. Very early on in my pregnancy (5 weeks, I think) I was told by the doctor that my baby was not a baby. There had been aContinue reading “Honestly… Pregnancy Update and an Explantion for Why It’s Been So Long.”
Needles, Pills & Alcohol -Oh My!
There is probably a reasonable explanation, I just don’t know what it is. Maybe you can help me? I use Walgreens as my pharmacy because it’s close and because I can pretty much do everything I need from the app. About a month ago, I was scrolling down my list of meds that I neededContinue reading “Needles, Pills & Alcohol -Oh My!”
Shim Bean
No, that’s not a typo. It’s my lil pet name for Baby. I despise the term “it” and since I don’t know if he is a him or she is a she… shim. Bean comes from all the baby books that tell me “baby is the size of a jelly bean. Now the size of aContinue reading “Shim Bean”
