Damn it, y'all {and no, I am not southern, but the twang has a certain ring to a writer} this political biz-niss is making it real hard for a midwest blogger to keep quiet. Donald Trump. Woah, who just got angry from reading that first line? But, if we are going to be fair, which…

Well, here I am about to comment on another 'news trending' topic. I can't help it; my heart is heavy. I have found myself reflecting over the last 48 hours since I heard the news in Charlottesville. I must say I am speechless. I don't quite know how to put into words the sadness…
**The following blog post is rated PG-13. Reader discretion advised** You know that feeling where life is flowing as smoothly as a baby's behind and just keeps going that way? Yea, me neither. For years I have been plagued by a shithead who insists that plans and budgets are for suckers. His name: Irony. We have…

I don't know about you, but there are some days where I just don't think I can make it through the day. Ever since Daylight Savings came to an end, I have been struggling.

I have been pregnant so many times that I am not sure if my mismatched food combinations and tendencies toward irritability are from hormone level fluctuations or my actual personality. I have not had my body to myself in enough years that I still think twice before taking…
Not every story of turmoil and discrimination is a major one. Some set the tone for adulthood and some just remind us that prejudices exist. Mine is the latter. I am an American citizen born and {mostly} raised in the United States; more specifically, middle America. Born to an American mother and Kuwaiti father. I…
There's a guy who walks by my side day in and day out. The stresses of daily living easily take their toll. We spend most of our time parenting little people. And by parenting, I mean acting as referee. Most of our day is spent yelling, er, saying: "Stop fighting!" "{S}he was playing with that first.…

**In order to enjoy this blog, please read in your {friendly} sarcastic voice** Once you decide to reproduce, you are now opening yourself up to constant judgement and ridicule and incessant questions about how many little wonders {gremlins} you will be gracing {burdening} the world's presence with. You learn a lot about society's statutes on family…

I find myself on repeat a lot. And shockingly, I keep getting the same results. I keep thinking this will be the one time it is different; where the cause and effect phenomenon will not hold true. Apparently, that is a sign of insanity. Momma is gonna take back her sanity and try a little…
