You know me… I have to laugh so I will always find a way to laugh. Thing is are you laughing too? 😉

Wisdom-less with laughter
Originally posted 2015-09-19 03:30:34. Let’s see…where did I last leave this? I don’t think I quite remember where I left my purse much less the last post. I guess I could have looked back and see where I left it but …oh well. I am just going to wing it. Well Kayla had to have oral surgery on Wednesday. All four of her wisdom teeth decided to start coming in with a vengeance. Nothing like…

Stitches, flat tires and birthday cake
Originally posted 2015-08-27 02:24:52. Have you ever been in one of those periods where you really just want to disconnect from the world around you and just immerse yourself in your own little bubble? Yeah, well that is kind of where I have been this past several, several weeks. Dealing with my husband and his “service connected issues” to Dusty and well all that comes with him, trying to get his seizures controlled enough to…

Where’s Ironman When You Need Them?
Got a call yesterday telling me my iron/ferritin drop even lower from last checkup. But problem is insurance doesn’t want to pay for it until it’s 5 points lower 🤦♀️ I told the nurse that I have my next surgery scheduled already. It’s called ankle arthroplasty with Achilles tendon lengthening. I’m really not sure how “big” of a surgery this is but I do know he said the surgery would take 2 hours. It’s going…

There’s always a good side
Originally posted 2015-08-06 02:42:06. No matter what things myself or my family have gone through I have managed to look at things from a different perspective. Now I won’t sit here and say there was something good about getting beat or raped but I will say it has taught me to love myself more than I did, it’s just taken a while to learn from it all. The traumatic experiences we may go through harden…

What we did without, now becomes an almost obsession
Originally posted 2015-07-20 20:11:27. As a single mother I struggled just to keep food on the table. I would make grocery trips with the kids stroller and was always limited to the dollar amount spent and quantity because I could only fit so much in the stroller. Now at one point early on we lived maybe a mile or so from the closest grocery store. So it wasn’t so bad that I am complaining about…

Not so sweet strangers
Originally posted 2015-06-29 19:58:49. Most of people have a memory of the ice cream truck coming by and the excited feeling you get knowing you were about to get something off the ice cream truck, YAY! Well that’s for most people. I admit I used to feel the same way. UNTIL…. Living in Las Vegas, NV we lived right behind a business that supplied ice cream trucks their inventory. Naturally they would frequent our apartment…

Seeing signs
Originally posted 2015-06-19 13:23:07. I have been reading posts from other domestic violence survivors in support groups. I see myself in so many of the stories I read. The intimidation, manipulation, the “love” the abusers claim they have for their victims. It kills me because as I remember all that I was told and all he claimed I was just so blind and made to believe what he was saying to me was out of…

From then to now
Originally posted 2015-06-17 18:24:50. My life has been moving so slow it seemed the past week or so. Yet no time for things that needed that extra attention. My husband had slowed to an almost halt and trying to motivate him is beyond frustrating. He has no idea some of the things I say or do are to try to motivate him. He has kind of just gotten into this slump. He comes home talking…
