Ok. I know. I usually post on Tuesdays, not Mondays but here’s the thing…this does not seem to be my day. I just wanted to give you all a sneak peek into my not so fabulous start to the new year. I was sitting on the couch and diddling on my phone when there wasContinue reading “Not My Day”

Not Ok.
You do know it’s ok? But I’m not ok. That’s ok too. Sometimes the days are too long and we have trouble filling them with things that fill us. If you are not ok (and that’s totally fine – I’ve been there.) please reach out for help. The holidays are a difficult time of yearContinue reading “Not Ok.”
A “Normal” Thursday
I will preface this by saying that none of our days are “normal!” First, you must realize that my baseline is major stress and anxiety. Second, with the twins soon to be turning 18 and the freedoms that come with that age, I’m even more stressed! Oh, and we’re moving! Yeah…do you see now? So,Continue reading “A “Normal” Thursday”

A Fall Dish
It was my turn to cook our main lunch meal today. I had no idea what I was going to cook, but I shook the freezer (old family joke!) and pork chops fell out. Ok. So…a base of pork. In the fruit bowl were a few apples that were needing to be used as wellContinue reading “A Fall Dish”

A Not So Simple Supper
This is what we ate for Supper Lunch today. It looks so good, and it really was, if a bit labor intensive! Child #2 thought it was worth it. Then again, Child #2 wasn’t the one cooking! I started with; 2 lbs. ground turkey 1 cup sorghum flour 1 Tbsp. granulated onion 1 Tbsp. driedContinue reading “A Not So Simple Supper”
Letting Go of Hate
As most of you know, I have an abusive ex-husband. I struggle daily with forgiveness and love for this individual. In my opinion, he doesn’t deserve it. Pure and simple. If it had just been his horrible treatment of me, maybe I could let it go. It wasn’t. He hurt our children. Not one orContinue reading “Letting Go of Hate”
