When it comes to religion in our home, I’ll admit it is pretty nonexistent. I believe in God and have my own interpretations of the bible. The husband refuses to attend church, and to be honest, after it was pushed down my throat for 14 years I’m not real fond of it it either. I [...]
I’m far from a perfect person, but I’ve never made any racial remarks to anyone that would offend them. My oldest son, Q, has suffered at the hands of fellow students at school for years and it bothers me. OK, maybe he has not suffered, because he does not seem to be bothered by it [...]
We’re just weeks into summer and I’m ready for it to end. You know the old saying “when it rains, it pours”? Well the last few weeks have been more like a tsunami for us. I have bad nerves, and when things go wrong it just makes them worse. The last several weeks have been [...]
Over the last 3 years my hubby has worked overseas as a contractor. I thought for sure when his last tour was over we would never have to be apart again and the days of feeling like a single parent were over along with the other emotions that come along with a spouse being in [...]
For those of you who’ve not known me a long time, you may be surprised to learn I suffer from major anxiety. For the last 10 years I’ve dealt with a Panic disorder and Agoraphobia. I take medication daily to help control the symptoms, but between the two, there are several things I just can’t [...]

Similar to a traditional social bookmarking website where users bookmark their [...]
I personally never suffered with postpartum depression, so I can’t say 1st hand about the severity of the condition. I have however, had several friends whom suffered with the illness. These new mothers were down and out, suffered with mood swings, sudden crying and sadness for no apparent reason. Before I go any further let [...]
The last several years I’ve set resolutions and just found them to not unrealistic. When the years came to an end and I’d not met them, it was rather disappointing. So, this year I decided to set realistic goals for myself- ones I can actually accomplish. For 2012 I’ve decided I’m going to… 1. Give [...]
Yesterday I sent Coby (4) to brush his teeth. He was in the bathroom for what seemed like a very long time, so I crept around the corner to see if he was into something. I just knew I was going to catch him messing in something, like I normally do, but I got a [...]
Even though this Christmas has me stressed, I normally love the holiday season and everything that comes along with it- the trees, baking, wrapping paper, outdoor Christmas lights and old Christmas flicks.
