Just like everyone else, I am adjusting to the ‘new normal’ in this COVID-19 world. It’s interesting. And heartbreaking. And scary. And exhausting. There are millions of people providing their insight and fears and ideas during this time. So, I’m not going there. Honestly – I’m sick and tired of the whole darned thing. I […]
You and I have been through a lot over the years. It has been me-n-you since you were barely a year old. Look at you now – a 26 year old, a grown-up, an adult, a mother of two, a wife!
Boy has it been a year! I have been through the ringer and this ol’ single mom is T-I-R-E-D! But I’m also very grateful that I’m not alone. Here are just some of the things I can recall for 2014: 1) Started the New Year with frozen pipes/issues – meant lugging water in for a couple […]
When my daughter was young, I worked full-time as a single mother. My mom would pick her up from school. When I got off, I would go to my parents’ house and we would all have dinner together before taking her home. During those times – my dad always had milk with his evening meal. […]

Lots of things have taken place of late (since March). All have been quite emotional and has taken me on quite the journey of soul-searching and learning. Without notice, my employer laid several people off – and I was included in that group. My supervisor called me while I was on vacation to break the […]
I just got the following email from my daughter who is almost 22 and getting ready to move to another part of the state in about 3 weeks: Mom, I wanna take this time to tell you just how much you mean to me. This Mother’s Day is gonna be a very bitter sweet day. […]
Many people have never heard of Fibromyalgia. Some have heard of it but have no idea of what it is. Some people know that it means you have chronic pain – but that is all they know. Some don’t believe it even exists…. I remember the day my doctor finally said that he believed I […]
It’s 2014…..can you believe it!? Another year has flown by already. This year will mark many changes for me – some of them will be bittersweet. I’m not one to do New Year’s resolutions or anything like that – for me it has always simply been a new number on the calendar and that was […]
