    Wish Me a Happy Father’s Day

    I wont limit myself to one holiday. As a single parent I am going to celebrate all the holidays, if for no other reason than if I don't do it, no one else will.

    Party of One – Swiping Left on a Social Life

    July 14, 2020 / No Comments

    If my life was a Romantic Comedy, when my friend said to me that I needed to get out there and she was going to help me do it, there would have been a montage showing the creation of a dating profile and possibly a makeover. However, my life is not a RomCom, so none of that happened.

    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.

    I am so excited for this semester to begin on Tuesday. I am so ready in fact that the last two days I spent rearranging the furniture in my bedroom because I realized that the expected homework load for this semester would be double what it was last semester, therefore I needed a dedicated study area.

    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.
