The Struggle of the Working Mom

Work conversations stirred up 2 possible ways this post was going to go. Thankfully I opted to do a little face wash and hot shower first so it's not entirely directed at the cause of my stressful work environment... Mommin' ain't easy. And anyone who says different is lying... or has multiples sources of help.…

Friendship

Making friends is always hard... Making friends and maintaining those friendships as an adult is even harder. Especially when you're like me and have a low tolerance for BS and drama, and expect to receive if not all but close to the same effort I put into the friendship. Not to mention you don't sugar…

This is 30

I've been 30 for a little over a month now. Getting ready to mark 1 year of full divorce life. And life just feels different somehow. They say 30 brings you peace... I'm not entirely sure about that. The 2nd week was a little rough. I bounced back like I always do... but I will…

Hello… its me… again

Hey there 👋... it's me again. And apparently I never hit submit on this a few weeks ago 🙃 Still alive & untouched by Covid (knock on wood). It literally warmed my heart seeing there was almost 500 of you amazing people on here now. ❤ which means a great deal considering I haven't posted…

“Nova”

I chewed on the skin around my thumb as my right foot tapped repeatedly. I focused on the bottom of the picture frame holding her diploma, that was just above her head so it appeared I was looking at her. She smiled as she shifted in the chair, a firm grasp on her clipboard and…

On the edge…

The other day my mood went from fine to irriated and ready to cry. Its been happening a lot. I then realize that I've maybe forgotten a day or two of my anti-depressants but then what about the times I've been taking them and it still happens. Its no shock that 2020/Covid has left a…

I never made a title…

I leaned my head against the wall, the coolness of the tile calmed my nerves a bit, as I stared at his body lying on the ground. I pulled my knees up to my chest as the pool of blood inched closer to me. I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, perhaps I was…

Hello 2021!

Happy New Year all you lovely people! So I'm not gonna lie... it doesn't feel like New Years. And that's all the complaints I'm going to share I promise! Christmas was good in our household, we are now the Proud Owners of a Baby Yoda. Praise God-- school is also returning Monday! Real talk, my…

We made it…

Well we did it yall.We have made it halfway through this level of Jumanji. And hopefully it's the last one. My anxiety and depression can't handle much more this year. At least I'm done Christmas shopping, and trying to make the most of what we can do this holiday season. What with our gathering number…

It’s Beginning to Look Like Christmas

First off it warms my heart so much to see so many new followers when I log on. Thank you all. Because it truly means a lot especially when my writing has been less than... For awhile I was just unmotivated. "Quaratine" for 6 months can do that to a person. And then we got…
