Daily Prompt 4/9/23
Yesterday I wrote all about Boy #1 and questioned his work ethic. The positive thing he did for me was talk to me last night and make me see him through his heart. Everything he said made me question our way of life in this country, my past, and my future. For him, it’s not…

Daily Prompt 4/8/23
So 10 years from now is 2033, which sounds crazy far away, but really isn’t. I see myself happy, hopefully will have published some kind of book, maybe have started my own research/editing/writing business, and every kid will be out of high school!! I just want to be happy, with my wife, and everyone I…

Work Ethic
Boy #1 has no work ethic. I hate saying it. I tried so hard with him. He’s always been…slow. Slow to follow directions, slow to take care of what he needs to, slow to grasp what the hell is going on around him. He got fired from his fast food job last night. At McDonald’s.…

One very focused day
For some reason today, I was ON IT. I love days like this. I got a ton done around the house, including things that would’ve been weekend projects if I hadn’t done them today. The morning started with the bath fitter guy coming to replace the bent shower rod. Funny story…Boy #3 likes to play…

Daily Prompt 4/7/23
In high school I learned not to trust myself or anyone else. I learned that people are mean just to be mean and that who your friends are, what you wear, and how you look is way more important than what is on the inside. I learned that putting a large group of 14-18 year…

From my therapist
The main focus of my discussion with my therapist today was how to know when to take Ativan. I really should’ve taken it last Friday night for Girl’s party. I was so worked up and cranky. I would’ve felt so much better and not put myself through the hassle and fatigue of a panic attack.…

The Transformed Wife
Sometimes I have this strange draw to read things I know will infuriate me. This woman is one of those people that creates nothing but annoying content. She is focused on “biblical womanhood”, which is a result of her misunderstanding and cherrypicking of bible verses. She is all about complete and total submission of woman,…

Daily Prompt 4/4/23
I have stopped “shoulding” myself. I used to live in this bubble where I was always putting myself down for the things I SHOULD be doing. I SHOULD be more productive, I SHOULD work harder, I SHOULD get more sleep, I SHOULD work out more. I still catch myself doing it from time to time,…
