It started out where Saturday morning we picked up my husband’s dually pickup truck after the tires had been installed and the inspection had been done. We left and went to the gas station, got 10 gallons, just enough for now since he had a few things he needed to work on before he drives it…
… it’s Monday, what else is new? It’s raining here. I so suck at driving in the rain for some apparent reason. It’s my eyes. I think it is a combination of aging and having had lasik surgery years ago. I had it done within the first few months of being in Las Vegas, which was in 2003/2004. Anywho (or as my niece has been saying.. anywhore, I don’t know where she got that from…

The first was November 1994, 34 degrees and it was raining. The day and time are not as vivid in my mind anymore. This was the one was while I was still with the biological father and his family. The power had been out for several weeks at that point and…

With my husband taking a class at a local college to events with the local chapter of Special Olympics…we normally stay busy. But we take it like it is. Some of the abuse I was victim to has had a lasting effect on our lives. Some of which is a daily reminder of what I went through. Even though I have been through…
I don’t know if I should chalk it up to stroke brain or just aging brain. Either way it is something my dogs will likely never forget. Our day started like any other… nothing special. I had to take my Kia to the dealership for some maintenance so we needed to get up and get ready so James could pick me up from the dealer. Had to be there at 8am but I was running…
This morning I woke like any other day, nothing different. My husband gets up and starts getting ready for work like any other day… He was driving our truck to work because I had a doctors appointment today. He goes to start the truck and quiet as a mouse. It wasn’t starting. UGHHHH. But that’s not what this post is about… I get coffee, take some of my morning medications… Dogs get let outside to…
Originally posted 2014-03-19 15:24:53. Listening to the not-so-good advice of my biological father I put my son up for adoption when I had him. On the 3rd day at the hospital I went one way and watched as he went with the foster care/social services worker. I cried thinking at the same time it would be the best thing for him. He was placed in a foster home. His name was “Alex” while in foster…

I met her after committing myself to a mental hospital after being raped by an ex-boyfriends uncle who I thought I could trust. He kept me locked up in the bedroom for weeks. I would try to escape and he would come find me. I tried to tell my boyfriend…
Originally posted 2014-03-18 17:34:02. So here it is. The start, the beginning. Although I am a bit unsure how to do this so bear with me. I have been told on several occasions that I ought to ”write a book” about our lives. I am not beyond sharing our story I just don’t want the ”wrong” attention. You have people who are always going to be the skeptic, the non-believer, the supporter, etc…well I…
