    My So Called Summer — Pt 2 — Crap Covered Walk Down Memory Lane

    December 5, 2014 / No Comments

    December is hurtling towards January at ludicrous speed.  Which brings me to finish my recap for the summer of 2014. Given the general shitty-ness of what happened in Virginia, my kids have nothing good to say, and what they could say is probably not worth sharing.

    How to Cope Through Post-Divorce Interactions With the Ex: When We Pretend That They’re Dead…

    October 2, 2014 / No Comments

    My immediate reaction after the divorce was to change my Facebook status to “Widowed” because changing it to “divorced” just wasn’t final enough for me.

    Step-Mothers Get No Respect: Reflections on the Major Suck that is Step-Parenting

    October 1, 2014 / No Comments

    No one ever gives step-parents any props. For the most part, being a step-parent is either stigmatized or shrouded in mystery, never idolized. I experienced both the stigma and the misunderstandings. Even now, a year after I’ve relinquished the role, it still sucks that I got no respect for my tenure as someone’s step-mother.

    Relationships Bite: Am I Doomed?

    September 29, 2014 / No Comments

    I had this freaky thought yesterday while I was driving around: What if mr horrible was my soulmate? I almost ran off the road in my moment of mental panic. If this was in fact true then I am DOOMED!… Doomed I tell you… and then I came to my senses and thought to myself that perhaps that wasn’t in fact true.

    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.

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.
