What is Happening?

Every time life is presenting me with challenges aka opportunities, I can hear my friend’s voice in my head and it makes me laugh. When I was in Santa Fe last summer with some friends, we went to this very odd establishment called Meow Wolf. The concept is set up for visitors to experience unique art…

Tool Tester

I like to think of myself as a cool, confident 51-year old woman who has her shit together. It’s an illusion, but I have always like to play pretend. Some days I can pull that appearance off like a champ and then there are other moments where I give off the attitude of a monkey…

Not Again

I spend a great deal of time trying to reason with others. There are moments where I think that maybe I should just go live on an island free of human interaction. Sounds severe but after a few conversations with my loving family, I am convinced that it would be best for all. A few…

It’s Me

Yesterday, while driving Brian’s car, I had an epiphany. It was my Oprah “ah-ha” moment. His car syncs up to the phone of the driver which allows me to play my music. However, this time it kept posting a message saying that my Bluetooth wasn’t on. Since, I was driving, I ignored it while vowing…

Echoing

Yesterday, I shared about the opportunity for Bailey to possibly go live in a group home to learn the fundamentals of independent living. After I posted the blog, I was in a state of reflection. Is it me that isn’t ready? Maybe it is my fear that is blinding the view of the situation. Then…

The Echo

Sometimes I despise when my phone rings because I never know if it is going to be a conversation that enlightens me or annoys me. I love caller ID because it gives me the freedom to simply not answer. The other day, after Bryce’s wisdom teeth removal, I received a call from a number I…

Typical

Sometimes I am amused at the situations that occur providing me with excellent writing material. I mean, I seriously can’t make this shit up. Yesterday, I took Bryce to have his wisdom teeth removed. The day before I had stocked up on his favorite drinks and food items along with the medications that he was…

So I Heard

As I was deep into my workout yesterday, my phone rings. Normally, I would ignore it but it was the service that we use that provides my mother’s caregivers. In my head, I am screaming, “Oh, hell no!” because I can already tell you that the reason for their call is to inform me that…

The Mating Call Part II

If you read my blog yesterday, you would have read the story of a man who refused to use his C-Pap machine and in turn, emulated the sounds of a lonely, pathetic elephant desperate for a mate. There was no wonder why he was having issues. Because I am striving to be a part of…

The Mating Call

My family arrived home around 6 pm last night. I was glad they arrived safely and knew that my spouse would be hitting a wall soon since he drove the entire way. We enjoyed dinner together and then they resumed unloading the car while I settled in to read yet another book. Later, my spouse…
