Thursday Thoughts: Wrestling with Rest

Y'all. It's all too much. And by "all" I mean the pandemic. For the zillionth time, I am in health care. I have gone into work for three days of 2022 and it is fucking madness. COVID-19 is out of control. I mean that very sincerely. If you are one of the lucky ones that…

Don’t Post It

I’m doing a little re-run series because I want to post consistently but I don’t have enough posts yet to keep ’em coming so we are gonna share some words I’ve written for other sites and give them a permanent home on this site. This post actually compliments one I am currently working on tentatively…

Thursday Thoughts: I Don’t Have Any Sensical Ones

I'm trying to access the part of my brain that does the thinking but it seems to have gone dormant. Or maybe I have too many thoughts and I can't organize them into coherent sentences. So maybe I'll just write them all down for your reading pleasure. For starters, I'm devastated (and I wish I…

Fitting Rooms

One thing I thoroughly enjoy about writing is the thought processing. It is a way for me to organize my brain and often times gets me to the core of what I am thinking or feeling. Ironically, that exact same fact gives me pause when I write. Also, fun fact: I have no idea how…

Last Call for Filters and Resolutions

One thing I filtered on the socials was my mouth. Based on my social media accounts you would probably assume that cuss words are not in my vocabulary and I was intentional about that because I didn't want to offend anyone in case I went viral one day. Maybe at some point in my journey…

Milo Monday and Factory Resets

Have you ever taken away your kids electronics and then realized that the one you have actually punished is yourself? Yea. That happened. But also, something else cool happened. It was a great weekend. We hung out. Remember hanging out? Like families used to when I was a kid. It was relaxing and calm weekend…

Here’s The Thing

Let me tell you. I don't want this blog to turn into a social media bash fest but like it's the only thing going on in my head right now so I guess it is kind of going to work itself out that way. Do you know what's great about that? That it can. Because…

Milo Monday and Christmas Chill

You know what my favorite part of being off of social media during the holiday season is? Not worrying about all the things I should be doing with my kids. I know there are tons and tons and tons of Christmas events going on that range from free to college savings and historically, I have…

Thursday Thoughts: Thanksgiving Edition

I only have one thought I'm thinking today and other than all the delicious food I plan to consume, it's this. Well, hold on, I actually have a little more suspense that I think I'd like to build up. Yea. I do. I could go into a whole spiel (read shh-peel because who knows how…

Dear Diary

Well I’ve been off of social media for 27 days now. Like off, off. Like not even logging in to check something real quick, off. Which is approximately 27 days after I claimed I was getting off social media. I guess I would say I had to taper off of the socials. I mean give…
