The phenomenon of #Metoo has swept the world, and by this time is starting to fade into the realm of yesterday’s news. In case you’ve been living under a rock for several years (which, honestly, some of us have) #Metoo is a tag women used to identify themselves as having been in some way, shape,Continue reading “Too Private to Share”

Oops…
I was driving to the local grocery store the other day when something happened that caused my blood to boil. I was at a stop sign and getting ready to make a right turn and a car next to me was preparing to go left. The driver looked right and then looked left as theyContinue reading “Oops…”
Letter to My Daughter’s Friends
*Recently my daughter went through her first break up. What has surprised and saddened her is her friends’ reactions. Unlike males with their unfortunately phrased yet loyally followed motto, “Bros before Hoes,” these girls are unwilling to stand by the more delicately phrased, “Sisters before Misters.” I know I cannot get involved, I can’t yellContinue reading “Letter to My Daughter’s Friends”
Going Back
The time has come. The population is steadily getting vaccinated and schools are re-opening their doors. As I have said since the beginning, this is the day I dread. With social anxiety, irritable bowel syndrome and a multitude of insecurities, leaving my house is the last thing I’m interested in doing. Do I welcome theContinue reading “Going Back”
When the Good One Goes Bad
As most of you know, I have always maintained that my son is pretty damn awesome. He’s considerate, kind, a hard worker. He’s a little shy, but overall a good kid. We’ve never had any problems with him. He always strove to please us, and as far as we know, never lied to us. DistanceContinue reading “When the Good One Goes Bad”
Too Much of a Good Thing
I think most parents agree that we want our kids to be open with us. We want them to be comfortable coming to us, asking for help, or letting us know what they’re going through. James and I have been very successful instilling this in our children. If you’ve been following this blog you knowContinue reading “Too Much of a Good Thing”
TMI Mom!
It is a common thing in my marriage that when one of us is “in the mood” the other is not. I read somewhere that this is normal. That everyone has their own internal rhythm and that includes when their body is most interested in “gettin’ busy.” Unfortunately, my rhythm is set for around 4:00PMContinue reading “TMI Mom!”
It’s not Funny Anymore
I’m worried about my husband. At the beginning of the pandemic, I wrote about the fact my husband is an extrovert and I am an introvert. It was humorous at the time. Hundreds of memes have popped up around the idea that introverts are in their element. But it is less funny when the manContinue reading “It’s not Funny Anymore”
Kindness
This quote stuck with me last weekend: “I would implore everybody who’s celebrating today to remember, it’s good to be a humble winner. Remember… four years ago? Remember how bad that felt? Remember, that half the country right now still feels that way.”-Dave Chappelle I wonder and worry as this year comes to an end.Continue reading “Kindness”
Sweet Dreams
You know that moment, those several seconds, right before you fall asleep? The moment where you have all your best ideas and your most awe-inspiring epiphanies? It was at that moment, two nights ago, that I had an idea. It was an idea that surprised and excited me. This is going to be amazing, IContinue reading “Sweet Dreams”
