    The Witching Hour Approaches

    October 24, 2013 / No Comments

    I am not ready for Halloween. I am suddenly under pressure when the Apartment announces they are hosting a party. What do I do?

    Falling Into Cleaning

    October 13, 2013 / No Comments

    I don’t often have motivation for cleaning, but when I do, it’s often because I have visitors coming. I had run out of what steam was powering my motor to unpack and organize. Days passed and next thing I knew I grew numb to the clutter and disorder. That is never a good thing. So when my phone rang on Friday I had a renewed sense of purpose.

    Boxes vs Papers – Clash of the Titans

    October 5, 2013 / No Comments

    I have painted myself into a dangerous corner. I don’t want to label it procrastination because I would think that what I had been doing instead of doing my papers would have been fun (like watching TV or reading a book), but it too has been work and just as important.

    Tales from the High Road…

    September 16, 2013 / No Comments

    I consider it a gross abuse of my kindness and familial obligation to be tardy to an event you have asked me to help you with.  OMG! Case and point: Helping my brother move the last pieces of furniture from his old apartment to his new one. He asks for my help because I have a truck and trailer (I totally “fit in” here in Texas, who knew?). I told him I wanted to get started at 9am because (SURPRISE!) it is still hot in Texas in September, and lately, by noon the heat is in the high nineties and I am even less interested to do any heavy manual…

I blog about the random ass shit going on in my life. I'm a single mom, a Navy veteran, avid reader, and coping with life post-divorce. I have two sons and five cats, so clearly, I'm a catch. I pull no punches and use salty language. Read at your own risk.
