This is RIDICULOUS!

Originally posted 2022-09-12 16:30:46. This is ridiculous. Less than 2 yrs ago we were paying around 40 bucks for this. We just came from the the our local farm/feed store and the prices have ballooned tremendously!!! Then we were told they have been trying to purchase more but have been unable to. What The Fuck! Not to mention my daughter calls me yesterday to ask us to look for our grandbaby’s formula because she hasn’t…

Victims, Abusers, Survivors

Originally posted 2016-01-28 23:57:02. As a victim of domestic violence there comes a time in that span of abuse that the abused can turn into the abuser. Now with that said, that person isn’t your typical abuser. That person turns into the desperate, feeling of all is lost and will take something extreme to get out of.  I don’t recall whether I have spoken of these instances or not but to be honest with the…

The Hero Within…

Originally posted 2016-01-12 15:40:42. Someone recently told me I was his hero. I honestly didn’t know what to say to that. I mean I am just Amy…mom to Dusty and Kayla, wife to James. It’s not like I’m kin to the queen of any country or some Nobel prize winner. Of course they are human too. Just because they did something the world knows about or went through something they at the end of the…

Simplicity is overrated, isnt it?

Originally posted 2016-01-08 22:58:17. It’s now 2016. Who would have ever thought we’d see these days come and not be in flying cars like the Jetson’s cartoons. It seemed so doable back them and to now look back on just how far we haven’t come, it makes one wonder just what our future really holds. Time went so fast in the last month of 2015. December came and went in a flash. Maybe it is…

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…
