This is Thursday

Ever since the time change where the time thieves maliciously stole one hour of my life I have not been the same. And by that I mean that I can't wake up before 6 am when usually I would get up at 5 am and get in my quiet time before the fruit of my…

Plugging Away

I tried guys. I really tried. I tried to squeeze in a Mental Health Monday post but the gods would not allow it. Yesterday had more tasks and responsibilities than it did time and energy. So I took the pressure off and said "fuck it. I'll try again tomorrow." And now it's tomorrow and I…

Check It

This week’s re-run was fun for me to re-read. My kids don’t really have these easy to answer questions and demands anymore. I kind of miss debating with my littles about why we stop at red lights and why we don’t eat raw meat. Time has flown way too fast and my littles are not…

Smoking Gun

I am gonna use an analogy here and the analogy is between cigarettes and social media. I know it sounds like it's gonna be weird but I think that it's gonna make sense. Bear with me as I fumble through this one and start with, you guessed it, a quick backstory: I used to ask…

Out of Office

One of the ways I honor my mental health is by resting. I mean could I say that I am a rest advocate again for the cheap seats in the back? Anyway. This week we are taking an actual spring break in an actual different state so I’m going to put this blog on vacation…

Time Out

It's Mental Health Monday and here's where I am today. Brain, tired. Words, hard. Not falling asleep where I stand, challenging. Decision making skills, gone. Flexibility and adaptability, minimal. Quick back story: My #1 had an unexpected appendicitis this past weekend. Now, is appendicitis ever expected? Probably not but my ability to configure adjectives here…

Diabolically Dialectical

*Trigger Warning: This post does present some thoughts that may be triggering for some. I can't say for sure how someone might be triggered by this blog but I suspect it would bring out defensive instincts in those who have been led to believe that they are either with us or against us and there…

Irony is a *itch

This week’s re-run marks when I began testing the waters of being myself online and on this blog. I was curious how it would be received and if I'd lose readers. But ultimately I have decided that I am sarcastic, at times inappropriate, and enjoy profanity. Why not curate a space where we can all…

Deciding Factor

I am typing this blog as I sit in my bed having just completed my nightly-ish yoga routine wondering what the fuck happened to this weekend and if we can just collectively agree that its Saturday and give ourselves another chance at Sunday. I have been feeling quite anxious and rushed. There is this urgency…

Once Upon a Time

Dearest children of the 21st century, The story I am about to tell you is truly earth shattering.  Have a seat. Once upon a time…there was a world.  A  world I like to call B.F. And in this Before Facebook world, believe it or not, we took pictures…on a camera…with a roll of film…that we couldn’t see.…
