    I Will Not Dumb Myself Down

    July 22, 2020 / No Comments

    Every now and then I am reminded of why I don’t get along with my mother. It’s because she thinks and treats me like I am stupid. My whole life, it has been a contest of mental will with my mother. And she isn’t happy unless she is making me feel like I am just the dumbest person on the planet. This was all triggered by a chapter in a book I was reading where the character got into an argument with his mother because she was treating him as though he did not know his own mind. Sounds very familiar.

    I Am Not the Favorite Child

    I poured myself a cup of coffee this morning, after being woken up by my mother, I needed caffeine support to keep me upright. After the first cup, I set my mug on the counter, with the expectations that the mug would be conveniently located in closest proximity to the supplies.

    Hitting the Unlike Button

    December 10, 2014 / No Comments

    Parking at my complex has always given me grief. Before the managers implemented the paid reserved parking, finding a spot, especially on weekends when everyone but me seems to have “extra” guests, was near impossible. I opted for the paid spot because I have enough uncertainty in my life, whether or not there’s going to be a spot near my building is the last thing I want to think about when I have groceries and two flights of stairs to climb.

    One wish

    July 22, 2014 / No Comments

    Sometimes, I wish that I could manage a decent relationship with mr horrible, just to ease the daily tension I get from his continued and sporadic interactions with my kids… or he could just die. That would work too.

    It is 2014, the dawn of a new year and everything is going great until I get a text out of the blue that disrupts my calm… it’s a text message from mr horrible. What does he have to say to me? Something stupid about how he misses me and he wonders if I miss him. Dude, no.

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.
