a coffee drinking, tech loving, geeky gaming, travel seeking, blogging mom of teens and a tween.
Look! I made it. With all of you and your help and a lot of pacing, nail biting, praying, and taking things one day at a time, I picked up this little gem. Isn't she pretty? I want to thank YOU for supporting me. I have so much to share but THIS? This is something I had to share … [continue]
This time of year is so hard on me. If you’ve been around here long enough, you know this about me. If not, let me explain. You see, on March 6th I celebrate the anniversary of getting clean. From pills. From an addiction that could have killed me. I can’t explain why I get so [...]

5. The day after New Years I welcomed 2013 in with norovirus. The worst 48-72 hours I’ve had in years. But wait! It was a 3 for 1 sale so my youngest and middle son got it, too. My poor husband set himself up in the “playroom” to be central to all the pukers. Yes, [...]

Here is where you would normally find an inspirational New Year’s post all about resolutions and new beginnings. Really? When do I do normal? Instead I am going to embrace the old. To quote my friend Liz of This Full House, I am going to blog like it’s 2003. Back in the olden days where [...]

Seriously? This month of ”let’s do all this writing stuff” coming at the same time my head decides to try to implode is just cruel. But no worries. I hear that my skull is tough enough to handle my headache and most likely I won’t actually suffer from brain implosion syndrome. I read it on [...]

November 1st: The day the craziness starts. First up: NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) where I am to post here every day this month. (This drivel counts.) But also NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) where I AM going to conquer an entire novel in one month. (I wrote some this morning but not enough but [...]

If you haven’t read Part I, you need to go read it first. It’s right here. (But wow! I can get wordy when I don’t post in a while so it was too long. But if you’re reading these back to back it is still too long.) So where was I? Oh, yes, I was [...]

Addiction is a liar. It tells you to numb yourself when things get too stressful. It tells you no one will know and you it will help you out. That one drink or one fix won’t make any difference. That you really are funnier, happier, and better off when you are using. It’s not really [...]
