There is a reason we are here, just not sure yet why.
Originally posted 2014-05-01 16:47:33. Have you ever wondered why you go through certain things in your life? Why you may suffer from events, diseases, or whatever you have gone through? Yeah, me too. As I have reached my fourth decade of life I look back and take accountability of the things that have gotten me here. I look at the things both of my children have had to go through being biracial, to the illnesses,…

Double break
Originally posted 2023-03-16 15:30:55. 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…

Why one and not the other?
Originally posted 2014-04-28 12:22:59. Since my children have been doing so much in their lives it has seemed to attract the attention of the bio father’s family. But one thing that angers us off is it seems to be so one-sided. Always about my daughter not my son. Asking about so many things where she is concerned. Even a few years ago calling her on her birthday and for the first time sending her a…

Movie Monday
Originally posted 2019-01-07 13:00:59. Gilbert Grape (Depp) lives in Endora, a place where nothing much happens. The only times the police had something to do is when Gilbert’s autistic brother Arnie (DiCaprio) tries to climb up on the watertower nearby. Taking care of Arnie is mostly Gilbert’s task which can be pretty demanding, at least while you are working at the local grocery store. Then one day Becky (Lewis) and her grandmother passes through Endora…

Well SHIT!
Originally posted 2021-06-01 15:00:56. This past weekend turned out to be one I’ll remember for a very long time. It started out where Saturday morning we picked up my husband’s dually pickup truck after the tires had been installed and the inspection had been done. We left and went to the gas station, got 10 gallons, just enough for now since he had a few things he needed to work on before he drives it…

I am still walking, breathing, talking, and I’m ok with that.
Originally posted 2014-04-23 13:35:05. Ok, from the first time I got sick, to the first surgery to the last. They all were needed for something. After 19 surgeries…let’s see. One of the bigger ones was the spinal fusion. November 2004. Went to the doctor for a CT/MRI follow-up. He tells me…you broke your spine. I literally thought he was playing. I mean come on. You are still walking and can feel yet you are telling…

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…
