Originally posted 2014-07-23 18:00:12. I have only been addicted to one thing in my life (other than my husband), cigarettes. After the last time I was raped in 98′ or 99 (I forget what year it was) someone gave me a cigarette and that was it from there. I had started smoking. Growing up I was always the one against smoking. Always trying to get others around me to stop, especially my mother. I needed…

Originally posted 2014-07-07 18:33:37. You know there are days when I just want to give it all up and others that I can’t get enough. The life I was given I sure has its meanings. I just for once would like not to struggle…just once. I realize there are so many people who have been dealt a bad hand and others don’t even use their own. Some that think mommy and daddy are they forever…

Update to Cancer testing

Originally posted 2023-04-13 09:00:00. FINALLY!! So I went and had the cancer testing done to see if I am genetically susceptible to getting cancer. Now, this doesn’t cancel out my risk since it is a family history thing but it doesn’t mean I will get it either. This is just to see if I from a genetic standpoint.

Gingerbread Social

Originally posted 2020-01-19 23:10:55. Dusty was invited to a gingerbread party. It was originally planned in December but life got in the way.

He won 2nd place in the gingerbread house contest. He brought it home and started eating the house today. It is now…

Making 28 more than special

Originally posted 2021-06-10 15:39:06. Hi y’all. Since my mom passed in 2018 my son’s birthday celebrations haven’t been the same. He will be 28 years old this year, on August 15th. I was hoping to make it a little different this year. I wanted to see if I could get him a t-shirt from every state of the United States and maybe even something from a different country. He likes word search books and goes…
