I feel like so much of my life I’ve been waiting to “grow up”, or waiting for whatever is to come next that is supposed to be this ideal place in my life. I remember thinking when I was 16, “I just need to get through high school, college will be so much fun…” And … Continue reading When I grow up
Wait a second. It’s 2019? I can’t believe it. The time between Christmas and New Years is so surreal. I never know what day it is, where I am supposed to be, or what is actually happening. It’s like time goes forward and backward and in loops a little. (Jeremy Bearimy time…anyone a The Good … Continue reading Bring it on, 2019
I’ll start this one by saying: stick with me. I’m in a rambling mood and I don’t feel great. But here we go! Have you ever seen the movie The Butterfly Effect? Or I guess the more unlikely source is that you heard about it in regards to chaos theory? I doubt most of my … Continue reading The Butterfly Effect
I was recently asked a question about why I am single. I think it was literally “why don’t you have a boyfriend?!” As soon as it was asked I had chills. It was truly a question that made me think….for a while. And I didn’t realize how active I had been in making sure I … Continue reading It wasn’t you, it was me

I look back at this photo of me and my two boys, and I can feel so many emotions I can’t even process them. This was the first time L1 … Continue reading A moment in time
Six years ago I got married to my ex husband. Four years ago I found out that I was getting a divorce. I still can’t believe how fast time goes. I always feel something weird on this day. I can’t completely explain it. It is some version of happiness, sadness, failure, and success all in … Continue reading September 22
Today I had a small breakthrough in my life as a divorced woman. My ex sent money (above and beyond child support that he pays every month) to help with all the extra expenses that have been going on lately! I mean, I would have been fine, but it’s been a slightly stressful couple weeks … Continue reading Sports are expensive
Tonight something really hilarious happened that I still can’t think about without laughing. My sons school had ‘Get the Scoop’ night. I walk in and head straight to his class. I was a little early, which is out of character for me, but I am working on it. They had dream jars posted in the … Continue reading The big stink
I never thought I would share parenting joys with another woman. I thought I would marry the man of my dreams, raise kids together, watch them grow together in our dream house sitting on a cool 40 acres of private land. But as life would have it, plans are meant to be broken. There are … Continue reading To my kids future step-Mom
