This weekend is the bake sale. Usually, I prep about a month in advance so I have things ready to go I have so many different kinds and styles of cookies set up and I'm not rushing at the last minute to do everything. This last month, however, has been really hard so I started prepping on Wednesday for a bake sale that started yesterday ( Read more... )

I'm driving home a little early from Mom's house tonight and take I really needed to just vent and let everything out and cry and yell in my car as I was driving - probably looking like a lunatic. But I feel calm I feel like I pulled myself out of that funk. Instead of getting more and more frustrated I threw it out on the paper and now I feel at ( Read more... )

But my shoulders are up around my ears and so I need to get this out of my head and my heart so I can breathe and move again. Which has been difficult to ( Read more... )

So I have this strange growth on my leg. About 3 weeks ago, I went to the doctors office and took the first doctor available. It was a cyst. They did a minor surgery, said it was done and would be healed by the time we went on vacation. Well, here it is 3 weeks later and it's both a bit painful and bigger. So I went back in. First the doctor ( Read more... )

It's been interesting, since having a place to throw down my  thoughts, I've been sleeping so much better. Just feeling like the things going on in my head are getting out. It's made me calmer and helped me to start figuring out what I want and where to go from here.

The energy in the house has changed, it's charged with more excitement. I've been ( Read more... )

I've always had a tight-knit family. Sometimes we might have been too much in each other's business. But two and a half years ago, when my brother passed away my Mom lost half of her heart. Since then, I've been primary caretaker, daughter, friend and sometimes, out of necessity, bully.

Most days I'm positive. I work hard to make sure she has the ( Read more... )

One of my Superpowers when I was an Executive Assistant was having some impossible task thrown at me and finding a way to make it happen on both a national and international scale.
