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…

I mean why?
The town we live decided to start being an ass not too long ago for some reason. They either don’t like interracial couples, want my house and my bff’s house, are complete dicks, or I don’t know what else. They have put a “tow warning ” sticker on 3 vehicles in our yard.

Originally posted 2019-09-15 20:33:45. You’ve probably heard the term “weighted blanket” many times and might have thought, “it’s just a heavy blanket, right?”.

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…

The Ear
Originally posted 2020-12-11 09:36:48. There are things some just don’t speak of.I am my husband’s ear and sometimes that is painful not to mention stressful.
