So we drove over two excruciating hours one way to get to my mom's house and share what was supposed to be a family Christmas get together. Not all of my family was there, but it was still a delightful time with lots of yummy food and a loving, entertaining, albeit small, group. My son... Continue Reading →
Do you ever just get in one of those moods? I haven't felt like myself all day today, just kinda achy and stressed and I feel just really really tired. So after I finally clocked out (thank goodness because I was at the point of wanting to reach through my computer and rip somebody's face... Continue Reading →
So I have this quirk, it's not a bad thing really, but it makes my boyfriend super crazy! I like to hang out in my bedroom. I guess it's one of those introverted things, but I look at it like this, it's my comfy zone. Remember when you were a kid? Where did you spend... Continue Reading →
We all go through rough patches in life, we have accidents, heartache and mayhem and I know that I've certainly had my share, but my most used and favorite saying is "God got me" because I sincerely believe this with my whole heart.

Labels, I hate labels, why does most everyone feel the need to slap a label on everything and more importantly, everyone? I have problems, some bad wiring in the melon, but don't label me. I have depression, OCD and ADD, but that's not WHO I am, they're only glitches in my genetic makeup (part of... Continue Reading →
So day before yesterday, about 7 in the evening, my mom started blowing up my cell phone. I had volunteered to work over so I just kept cutting off the ringer, but her face continued to dance across my screen over and over. Groaning inside, wondering who had died because of her persistence, I delayed... Continue Reading →
So in a rare moment of feeling sociable, I agreed to help out someone and let them ask me some questions for their psychology class, no big deal, and it really wasn't, but I did start it with a warning "Don't ask me a direct question unless you really want a truthful answer."
