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…

Blame me, shame me

Originally posted 2014-11-17 20:07:23.

Say what?!

Originally posted 2019-03-15 05:00:10. Would you believe I just got this bill out of no where? This stems from my son’s oral maxillofacial surgery in 2013. All costs were supposed to be covered by insurance and grants from the state. First and last time I received anything regarding a bill was a year after the surgery. Then, today. I am not really sure what to do but we sure as hell can’t afford this. ‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️
