Really, the fact that there isn’t anything exciting happening in my life right now is depressing. Maybe a list of what’s going on will reveal something I’ve overlooked. Cross your fingers!
1. I’m living at Mom’s now as she recovers from the hip surgery. I’m more than happy to be here and help her get well, [...]

Oh boy, its way past time for an update! October 5th and the Autumn Feast seemed like something that occurred months ago!
At home, things are running along as usual, nothing new or exciting to report from my little clan. At Mom’s house, though, it’s quite another story. A little white fluffy dog was found [...]

So, the Autumn Feast I planned last week for this afternoon? It went off with just one hitch. My mother and friend (who travel together) both flaked on me and went to an art festival instead. ALL WEEK LONG I’d been saying “12 noon, Mom.” Dave has to be at the airport by 4:00 so NOON [...]

The husband is gone all week, which is fine because it’s his job. I like being alone, so no big deal for me. We spend the weekends and occasional down weeks together. He’s away all week, eating out, maids cleaning up after him, cars picking him up and taking him where he wants to go… [...]

I did something today that I’m very proud of. I asked for help. Asking for the help was very hard. I did a hard thing and admitted that I need help with the things that just aren’t right. I want things to be different. I want to experience pleasure and happiness again. I want to [...]

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve had a moment to post. R went through another bout with her issues so I brought the little guys to my house. The oldest was visiting his grandfather in Oregon so I didn’t have to worry about him. R got herself back together but not before [...]

This was originally posted on Vox and is something I want here.
Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things we can go through, so much more if it is a husband or parent. No words can express what our family is feeling right now but we’ve rallied together and with the support [...]

Just when you think your life is going along smoothly, Life likes to throw something in your path that mucks it all up.
Oldest dd is dx’d as bi-polar and alcoholic and has been off her meds for more than 3 months, so this has been brewing for awhile now. She called me two late afternoons ago to [...]
