It could be worse…

Originally posted 2019-01-16 14:39:34. This is just to replace my lenses in my eyeglasses. Then… find out I have started to develop cataracts. Ho hum… This is a first for me. I know this is not that bad. My momma did pay more for her glasses. Good thing is my diabetes has not affected my eyes yet. 10 days or so til my new glasses come in. Gotta love aging 🙄😏

Good grief

Originally posted 2019-01-10 16:42:39. Good grief, I had the roofers, the computer/IT guy, here. Trying to keep dogs contained since I couldn’t let them outside because of the roofers. Then 2 phones ringing. Then… the roofers ring the door. Then the pharmacy delivers medicine. Shall I go on with my day? Oh wait it’s not over yet it’s only 4:30pm. If you’d like to help our mailing address is Carter Family PO Box 533 Richlands…

Double break

Well my kid said go big or go home I guess. Somehow he managed to break his tooth and break his retainer 🤦🏼‍♀️. Not really sure how that happened. But leave it to him to do it. So off to the dentist we went. Then left there and went to the orthodontist to get a new retainer since it probably wouldn’t fit anymore. As you can see it wasn’t a horrible break but still needed…

Dealing with everyday life

Originally posted 2014-04-18 10:58:58. Since my son and I both have multiple health issues it can make some of the seemingly most easiest things turn into something more challenging. Recently having had to explain myself to my biological father as to why I don’t have a full-time job. Without someone else understanding what exactly we are diagnosed with and what each one entails, they cannot fully understand the concept of living like we do. He…

Differences Don’t = Divide

Originally posted 2019-10-26 11:00:00. My vent… I wish there wasn’t such a divide in our current climate. We are all different, will never fully agree with one another. But focusing on the things we do agree on should be the one thing that keeps us together. I do not understand how humanity is killing normal civil friendships. Don’t you have friends you don’t agree with on everything? Does it stop you from being their friend?…

Title? Think I forgot it too…

Originally posted 2016-08-03 20:48:44. Through my years I have gone through things, done things, put myself in situations I shouldn’t have, gone places I shouldn’t have, yet some things I wish I could speak on. There are some things I honestly want to talk about but I can’t. I am pretty sure there are some of you reading that know what I mean. You know there are some things you don’t think you could ever…

Ever been so tired you just can’t sleep?

Originally posted 2015-10-14 17:51:15. I don’t give up easily but here lately I’m testing those waters. I’m not really a drinker per say, even though I am of Irish descent. I wonder what happened to that part of me, who fights a good fight til the end like an Irishman, so stubborn. But between having to keep one eye and ear on Dusty while doing the same over James I’ve almost seemed to lose site…

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…
