about
Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
I started this blog, originally called Tales from the Underground Mother-Road, because I needed an outlet. Somewhere to vent where I would not be judged, somewhere to tell it like it is for people not living the life advertised on TV. At first, it was because I struggled with being a mother, a step-mother, and a wife. I struggled with my marriage. Life, in general, just seemed like it was always knocking me for a loop.
Then my marriage fell apart. I decided to walk away and file for divorce. Things got really ugly, and I had to take a hiatus from this blog because I was afraid my ex would find it and use it against me.
Then the divorce was final, and I moved away. I started over again, but not from scratch, as I was dragging with me extra baggage, emotional and physical. The weight of the past is like a yoke around my neck. I came back to this blog as a place to reconnect with myself. Mistakes were made along the way, but here I am.
Steering into the skid of a midlife crisis
I am slowly but surely finding my way back to the me I used to be, hoping to improve upon that version, bring her out so she can evolve into her final form. In the meantime, I am powering through it with a healthy dose of sarcasm and adult beverages applied liberally when necessary.
