This is my morning right now. Dry plopping my hair before work. My throat and skin are on fire. Still sick T Rex. And a cat who wants to make it all better. And I have to take the Bunny to the doctor for an assessment. Cap that off with having to work overtime and... Continue Reading →
My husband, the robot wrangler
If you've followed me for a while, you may remember that for the past three years, I've been the bread winner of the family. My husband, the King, had been going to school for IT. He graduated in August 2018. And we thought, cool, he's gonna get a job and life is gonna be awesome.... Continue Reading →
September Goals
August was nuts! Between the kids starting school, the King finishing school, peak season at my job, and deciding to sell the property and move we could use a breather. Too bad that ain't happening any time soon. I've started taking writing classes. Im going to really dig down and work on writing a book... Continue Reading →

Handle time nightmare. But I made the promise it would be better. And it was. Wednesday got free... Continue Reading →
Sacrificing Mom
There is so much that I wish for. It’s hard admitting that because as humans, moms in particular, are trained to believe wanting things is greedy and selfish. We’re taught to take care of everyone else before us. I’ve even seen infographics on Facebook that put women/wives/moms last in a hierarchy. God then husband then... Continue Reading →
Tales of an Introvert: Going Back to Work
I am in the middle of a panic attack right now. Why? Because I start a new job tomorrow. A job that is not child care related. A job that requires a certain level of dress. A job that requires me to talk on the phone to angry strangers. What the hell was I thinking?... Continue Reading →
Clueless in Joplin
Three weeks ago, I quit my job. Like, straight up walked out an hour into my shift. Since then, I have been doing the stay at home mom gig. I've been writing, cleaning, homeschooling, and editing. I've been sending out resumes and filling out applications. I've also been doing alot of soul searching. I don't... Continue Reading →
