My heart is breaking

Originally posted 2018-06-15 14:38:27. This will be the hardest thing I have ever done. I have to somehow suppress the expression on my face because Dusty is watching me like a hawk. He knows something is up. This hurts so much. I don’t know how to let go of my mother. I don’t know how to live my life without her. I don’t know how I will ever explain it to Dusty. I pray to…

Trust me, I get it

Originally posted 2020-04-10 08:00:54. I’ve heard Pure Romance just isn’t my thing. I get it, trust me. I am an approaching 50 year old married southern woman. The mom and caregiver for my 26 year old special needs autistic son. The wife and caregiver of a disabled Marine Corps veteran. I have my faith but not attached to any specific religion but I do believe. I have gone through alot of traumatic experiences as a…

Originally posted 2018-06-12 13:09:01. I need your prayers, miracles. My heart hurts and I just can’t do life without my momma. She is in the fight for life and I will likely not be on social media much. Her kidneys took a hit and need to heal in order for them to do any chemo or radiation. Cancer is in her liver and lungs and they need to see if it is in her brain…

Have you ever?

Originally posted 2018-06-01 13:58:52. So, I somehow screw up my days. I had an appointment with my endocrinologist for my diabetes. I thought it was this morning. It normally takes my about an hour and 15 or so minutes to get there. Well this morning my appointment was at 8:30am. I had to give myself extra time to get there because I had to go through morning traffic – which included traffic going onto 3…

Just one of those days…

Originally posted 2021-07-14 21:15:05. Yesterday evening I broke on of my back (upper molars). This happens after business hours 🤦🏼‍♀️ Today I have a medical procedure already scheduled. So my day started like this… 6:30am ☀️ “The Rooster Crows” The White Pit Bull Bowie, who also seems to think he’s a rooster and starts howling when the sun comes up… From 6:30 til 7ish Bowie is walking around aimlessly. 7ish “The Coercion” Bowie is coerced…

Strength

I was listening to a live on Tiktok and for some reason when I saw this meme the live came to mind. They were talking about many things but one thing I referring to is struggling can sometimes make you appreciate things more. Going without can make someone appreciate having things more. Someone being given everything in life will never fully appreciate working for it and paying for it themselves. I had a conversation with…

Free Me Friday

Originally posted 2019-01-25 10:35:33. There comes a time in life when u walk away from all the drama and people who create it. U surround yourself with people who make you laugh; forget the bad, and focus on good. So, love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE, getting back up is LIVING ~

It could be worse…

Originally posted 2019-01-16 14:39:34. This is just to replace my lenses in my eyeglasses. Then… find out I have started to develop cataracts. Ho hum… This is a first for me. I know this is not that bad. My momma did pay more for her glasses. Good thing is my diabetes has not affected my eyes yet. 10 days or so til my new glasses come in. Gotta love aging 🙄😏

Good grief

Originally posted 2019-01-10 16:42:39. Good grief, I had the roofers, the computer/IT guy, here. Trying to keep dogs contained since I couldn’t let them outside because of the roofers. Then 2 phones ringing. Then… the roofers ring the door. Then the pharmacy delivers medicine. Shall I go on with my day? Oh wait it’s not over yet it’s only 4:30pm. If you’d like to help our mailing address is Carter Family PO Box 533 Richlands…

Double break

Well my kid said go big or go home I guess. Somehow he managed to break his tooth and break his retainer 🤦🏼‍♀️. Not really sure how that happened. But leave it to him to do it. So off to the dentist we went. Then left there and went to the orthodontist to get a new retainer since it probably wouldn’t fit anymore. As you can see it wasn’t a horrible break but still needed…
