    My Do It Myself List

    January 23, 2014 / No Comments

    I am a list writer. I write lists of lists, and master lists of the lists that lists what’s on those lists. However, I also get shit done. I fully embrace that as an adult I am responsible for the outcome in my life and ever more so now that I have no one to depend on and Single Motherhood means that I have two young adults who need to follow in my shit-getting-done example.

    Not Falling For That Again…

    October 18, 2013 / No Comments

    I’m getting real tired of people taking advantage of my kindness. It starts out benign, one day they ask for a ride. Then the next thing you know, they act like it should be no big deal to get you to take them all over Timbuktu at the drop of a hat.

    Mattress Junction and the Time Thief…

    October 7, 2013 / No Comments

    Why is the testing center closed on Sundays? Bogus! See, this is why I end up not trusting people. I specifically asked a friend who went to the testing center on Friday to find out what hours they were open over the weekend. I got her text saying Saturday and Sunday, and I even asked for verification! I don’t think I will ask her for help again.

    Sleep? What’s that?

    October 6, 2013 / No Comments

    Who’d have thought that I’d actually forgo sleep to get my work done? I have come a long way from the days of my youth. I know for sure that in the face of overwhelming odds I’d have rolled over and gone to sleep. So there is a lot to be said for being older and wiser. That and being a single mom I think helps me put all the whiny “OMG I can’t do it” bullshit into perspective when there is no one for me to rely on. If I don’t do it, it’s not getting done. Simple as that…

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.
