Originally posted 2014-09-23 16:35:20. The military community has lost several veterans recently. My heart goes out to the families involved. The reality of PTSD and its effects on our military is ever more present in our everyday lives. My husband even changed after coming home from deployment. He won’t admit to it at all. After being screwed out of his career, trying to find a job, keep insurance for our family and keep our…
Originally posted 2014-07-18 01:42:05. It’s been a little over 2 weeks since my surgery, Dusty’s grand-mal seizure and the stress of it all. My mother ended up having almost one hundred staples throughout her little body. But now it’s time to heal. We have been to the doctor for Dusty’s seizure. Like I said before he has seizures but for him to have a grand-mal seizure…well that is few and far between. We did find…
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…
Originally posted 2014-06-13 22:43:09. We are at the end of one chapter of our lives. Our son graduated last year and now our daughter graduates tomorrow, June 14 2014. Every time I think about it I end up in tears, not necessarily sad tears, I think they are a mixture of emotions. From where we started to where we are now I thought things would have never been the way they are now. I have…
Originally posted 2014-08-11 01:49:08. Here it is on a Sunday evening and I am sitting here watching my husband sleep. Which I am ok with. He is trying to struggle with his current job to try to transition from years in the Marine Corps to now transition to driving CDL (commercial driving) for a living. I recently had a big explosion of feelings return to me after speaking to my biological father on the phone.…
Originally posted 2014-03-23 01:43:32. I realize I am a mother and the parent tends to be somewhat biased when it comes to certain things. Today isn’t one of those days. My beautiful, intelligent, compassionate daughter….. all she wants to do is care for people. Yes she can be a bitch. But come on what female do you know who is never been a bitch. Sorry but we can all be that way at times. Furthermore…
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 am not sure how to do so since I have been out of school so long. Here is one of the ones I am considering. Certificate in Violence Prevention and Awareness Every year across the globe, millions of individuals are affected by violence. In addition to the tremendous…
Originally posted 2015-06-18 19:29:47. It’s official. We now have a 68whiskey medic in the house. She’s making moves and her stubborn determination and will as well as the passion to fulfill her dream is going to get her there. We still owe Meredith College 16k but we will worry about that later. It’ll get paid somehow. Only sucks because she could have used her transcripts to go in at a higher rank. We don’t know…
Originally posted 2014-12-12 21:36:07. Today I have really been on the edge and just really anxious. Why really not sure why. Been trying to handle all the above with seemingly none of the below. From the VA to the SSA it’s all been a fight to the finish line. Not to mention the insurance premium program that I applied to months upon months ago. Until recently I had seemed to just be talking to the…
