Things I learned today… “Self care” gets bantered around quite a bit these days, but Y’all, it’s real. You better take time for yourself and do what you need to do to take the best care of your little self. Figure it out. Make the time. Make it a priority. I’m like that dude onContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Thursday, September 30, 2021”

Tourettes is hard.
My 13 year old, Brady, went in to the orthodontist’s office this morning with plenty of anxiety and a lot of tics. I did not go in with her, which is pretty routine, as she was just having a retainer seated. As a result of her anxiety, she walked into the office making some soundsContinue reading “Tourettes is hard.”

Things I learned today… Today I learned that I do this thing where I’m feeling so good in my very nice bed, knowing I’m about to have to get up…so I calculate the hours until I’m back home and in it. It’s my safe, comfortable, personal space. I also learned that, over the last fewContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, September 29, 2021”

Things I learned today… Welp…it was one of those days when I wake up in the morning and have no idea what’s about to hit me. And boy, did I roll with the punches today. If you go to Waffle House, you leave with your hair smelling like Waffle House. I feel like I madeContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, September 28, 2021”

Things I learned today… I’ve never been held hostage before and had to negotiate despite a language barrier, but I have been on the phone with AT&T Customer Service. The best thing about my morning was the coffee. I had FUN today with my dance kids. And I had a valuable (hopefully) talk with myContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Monday, September 27, 2021”
Things I Learned Today / Sunday, September 26, 2021
Things I learned today… I always wash sheets and forget. So I run scrambling to throw them in the dryer, then it’s bedtime, and here we are putting them back on. Oh, and last time, we got them on, crawled into bed…and they were freaking damp. Today I read that fear is often born fromContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Sunday, September 26, 2021”
Things I Learned Today / Saturday, September 25, 2021
Things I learned today… We are very ambitious people with lots to do and plenty of plans…but sometimes…we choose to lay around. Like today. Good thing we did, too, because there is something brewing every weekend from now until the end of the year. Lordy! The cool evenings are everything for Keith and me.Continue reading “Things I Learned Today / Saturday, September 25, 2021”

Things I learned today… Oh, how I missed concerts! We went to see Gary Allan at Horseshoe Casino, and it was a blast! So good! Yep, I played some Craps, too, but I didn’t win. It was super fun, though. After all that, we opted for Waffle House, and it was a shit show asContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Friday, September 24, 2021”
Sick of Shiny
I am a collector of quotes. I like inspirational sayings, motivating verses, and passages that hit home. I have a whole Pinterest board related to them, as well as various and sundry clippings, post-its, and cut outs of gems that struck a chord. But sometimes I get sick of shiny. I don’t want to seeContinue reading “Sick of Shiny”

Things I learned today…(forgive me for letting this sit in Drafts…uugghh) Everyone is really messed up. COVID, world affairs, politics, social media influence, societal pressures…it’s all taking a toll on human beings. I really believe that. I’m trying to recognize and process that history has been wrought with trials, natural disasters, human error, and disease.Continue reading “Things I Learned Today / Thursday, September 23, 2021”
