News that weighs heavy
Apparently Texas Attorney General and Douche Bag Ken Paxton requested information about how many Texas license holders changed their gender in the last 24 months. This feels so incredibly dangerous. This information isn’t necessary. It’s one thing to be “concerned” about children’s health, but it’s quite another to chase around that information for adults. I…

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? Yes, as a little kid I was in a bunch of plays. In third grade I was chosen to play a lead character in the school play but was unable to actually do it because I was scheduled for surgery the day of that play.…

Harry and Meghan
*Disclaimer-I am not from the UK and never lived in the UK, although I do have friends in the UK. My genealogy says I have a lot of ancestors from England way back in the 1500s/1600s but I am not in touch with any relatives as anyone left in England at this point would be…

Sick kid…again
Girl is sick. Boy #3 was sick two weeks ago. I was sick twice in the last 6 weeks, as was my wife. Boy #2 was sick in the same span of time, but not severe enough to need much of anything from me. He handled his own symptoms just fine. But man, these past…

Today’s question is…favorite cartoon. Mine is The Jetsons. It’s a tough thing to choose, really, because I loved cartoons as a kid. Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes, and Tom and Jerry were all awesome. I wanted to live in the world the Jetsons were in. It was so fun to have things just happen and a…

who fits where?
I have never fit neatly into anything in my entire life. I was the girl who acted more like a boy. The boy that wasn’t really a boy. The kid that played with whatever was lying around including sticks, bugs, and toads. I was picked on for being too rough and for being poor. I…

Neighborhood spy
I am hyper vigilant and have been for awhile. I’ve been told it’s related to PTSD. But it has turned me into a neighborhood spy. I can tell you all about our surrounding neighbors because I notice everything. I never intended to spy on them and it’s not like I stare out the window all…

What could you do less of? This feels like a loaded question for me. I could do less of a lot of things. I could do less people pleasing, less taking things personally, less remembering past pain, less blaming myself for things out of my control, less complaining, less retreating into myself, less forcing myself…
