Adulting is so much fun, yes? I spent all day yesterday wearing my big girl pants, paying bills and did a little grocery shopping, oh yes, and I got my 16 year old son a new phone (at least I made one person in the house happy yesterday lol). Goo god how awful does it…

Happiness is a cup of lemongrass mint tea and being entertained by both kids and dogs while eating tasty tacos on a Taco Tuesday. And pretty flower pots with mums that are full of buds just waiting to bloom. And Burt’s Bees lip balm (the one with the peppermint). And finding a Cherry Coke Zero…

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That’s how the old saying goes, right? Well, I’m sitting here, drinking lemonade right now, but I didn’t make it. Paige and her boyfriend decided they were hitting Chick-Fil-A for dinner (not like I made dinner or anything … freakin kids with jobs), so I begged that they…

Today I totally needed a little creative therapy, since my weekend was fraught with issues that involved police being called all around. My rough patch today started with my daughter once again leaving the house without my permission, which of course led to me having to call the sheriff’s office once again (today’s officers were…

So, I guess I am going to give you all a little glimpse of what it’s like to live with a person with a severe mental disorder, and how little help is available for families like us. Tonight my daughter asked me if she could go for a walk and I said no (it was…

Ever have one of those days where it seemed everything that could go wrong for you just happened to go wrong on that particular day? I seem to be experiencing that, only not just for a day, but for two in a row so far. Yesterday’s fun was only worth a brief mention, not because…

I’m sure you all noticed that I didn’t have a post up at some point last night. I started writing something and I don’t know where it will lead yet, so I figure I should keep it quiet for now. Anyway, that’s what I was doing when I should have been writing yesterday’s post, so…

So, last night a friend asked me what I was going to write about today and I told him that I would probably write about how I have to take my whole laptop apart in order to install my new battery because the one I currently have in it is fried (All my own fault,…

So, raise your hand if you watched last night’s political debate (I absolutely refused and instead I played Fallout 4 while Damon was busy distracting me with funny non political videos he found on youtube). I am currently so disgusted with the two major party candidates that I can barely stand to look at social…

Early fall in Florida. It’s almost exactly like summer here, only we decorate our homes with what northerners can look out their windows and see in real life. We artfully hang images of autumn leaves on any and all surfaces, use pumpkins and gourds as centerpieces on our tables and burn many a pumpkin or…
