    I Should Have Known… (Recognition of the signs that things aren’t meant to be…)

    September 22, 2013 / No Comments

    I should have known that my marriage was not going to last the first time I looked at the sleeping face of Mr Horrible and I wanted to smother it with a pillow.

    September 15, 2013 / No Comments

    The other day one of my professors attempted to teach one of my classes a lesson on how to listen. The gist of the lesson being that not everyone listens as well as they think they do.

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.
