We all have those people in our lives that look and act like they are stronger than humans. Words don’t affect these super humans. The problem with this assumption is, it’s wrong. Yesterday it was a super moms birthday. To the ordinary eye you wouldn’t know of her super powers because like most hero’s she […]
Life
Zombie Land – Holding Humans Hostage
In a previous post I confessed to struggling big time with life. Here’s when I would tell you this is the FIRST time ever in my human life that this has happened to me, but…I’m not that type of human. Like most of us I ebb and flow through the ups and downs life has […]
Struggling
The first of the year has always been one of my favorite times of the year. A new beginning. Fresh start. A RESTART. This year I was bound and determined to give myself the space and boundaries I needed to un-become all the stories I had told myself throughout the years and BE who […]
Discipline – Tapas
I have a friend that quit drinking 8+ months ago. Every so often he will post progress updates on social media that are witty and at the same time things I often take for granted. For instance, when his senses came back after quitting smoking and drinking he said, “First of all, everyone smells terrible. […]
Identity Crisis
Remember that scene from the Sixth Sense, where Bruce Willis realizes he’s not alive? That’s kind of how I’ve been feeling lately. It started a couple months ago when I went to the DMV to renew my tabs on my truck. The DMV sent me a letter with all of my details on it reminding […]
The Bandwagon
Technically I fell off the bandwagon. Not the drinking bandwagon but rather, my promises and resolutions to myself bandwagon. It’s interesting to me how often I put my needs in a back corner, spread myself a little too thin and give in to what others need. Maybe that’s just being a mother. Maybe I’m a […]
Sick of Mother
Do you ever miss the old days? You know the ones… where phones were attached to our homes instead of our hips. I do. I mean, I like the convenience of having Dr. Google, a camera, my phonebook and music all in one spot but this week I realized exactly HOW connected I am. It […]
Phases
I go through phases, just like the moon. But…don’t we all? Motivation will be UP and working out is easy, cleaning the house is effortless and my life is right on track. Then, in a blink of an eye, I realize the kids laundry hasn’t been done and we haven’t eaten anything that resembles fresh […]
Roller coasters
The first roller coaster that sticks out, for me, is the Wild Thing at Valley Fair. The company my dad works for would host a company picnic alternating between Valley Fair and the zoo. My mom never went to Valley Fair but she also never misses a chance to sit and watch the monkeys. We […]
Welcomed Death
It started on Saturday morning. Bash woke up not feeling well. He likes to sleep in the bathtub and relax as part of his healing process. I thought he was kidding. He can’t be sick…they don’t have to go to school on Monday. Bash isn’t a faker, at least when it’s not a school day. […]
