I’m Gonna Take Over The World So Get Over It!
Yea, another month has gone by since I’ve posted. I have so much to share, but when your posts are also “shared” with the likes of this: You REALLY don’t want to post very often….. I thought about sharing a sewing tutorial about how I made this fabulous pair of baby sandals I made for [...]
The Mistress In Camoflauge
I’ve reached a pivotal conclusion at this point in my life’s journey.When you are married to, the parent of, or somehow entwined with a deployed soldier, you serve alongside them. This is because you experience what they experience. You hurt when they hurt. You grieve their absence as they grieve being gone. But, there’s another [...]
“Flow With The Go”
My mom has a saying that goes, “be the best person possible that you can be.” My little sister lives by the Biblical verse in Phillipians that states, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” My baby sister does a 180 with her life motto, ” What have you done for the Kingdom [...]
47 Days Of Record Heat And Counting…Shovel In The Ice Baby!
As I mentioned in a previous posting, it’s been stifling here in Texas with the record heat. The AC bill was over $200 last month, and I keep the temperature at a conservative 80 degrees! Now, the NOAA has made meteorologists (at least the local ones anyway) to trace temperature setting records back to the 1800′s [...]

Life’s A B*tch And Death Is Her Sister, But Love Is Her Distant Fourth Cousin (POEM)
My life in the past 2 1/2 months is proof in the pudding that if one focuses solely on one or two events, nothing seems to improve or look in one’s favor. Choosing to divorce someone I clearly should not have married in the first place and was not compatible for me was not only [...]
A Funny Thing Happened At Church…
There’s something strangely enlightening, cosmic, almost ethereal about divorce. You are now able to make your own damn decisions….you find out you like to sit anywhere you freakin want on the couch and sleep anywhere you like on the bed. You can now go to the church of your choosing…and no one is going to [...]
When Life Gives You Potholes, Make Art
I am a huge subscriber to one’s perspective in life controlling their own destiny. While it’s true we can’t control how someone else treats us or when someone you loves dies, etc., one still can control how they react to those situations. I’m not saying that life doesn’t suck, or that one must always wear [...]
Like A Raison? (FUNNY)
I was driving my boys to their mother’s for another fateful weekend visit the other day. Nothing really helps to make these situations better for the boys or me. (despite doing the same thing 11 years ago in my first divorce!) It’s just something you have to do, like cleaning toilets, cleaning a cat box, [...]
