Every night before I go to bed, I always check in her in room. It's an old habit that will never die hard and it's a habit I don't think I'll ever break. I do it to make sure she's okay, comfortable, and covered. Most nights she's tossed the sheets as far away from her … Continue reading sleepiness

Surprise! It’s a New Year
2011 couldn't end quick enough for me and it was probably one of the longest. It was the year that tested my strength and sanity and I've only recently begun to feel somewhat like my old self. It was one of those years that I found out who I can really count on and there aren't enough words … Continue reading Surprise! It’s a New Year
How Life Changes . . .

My daughter turned 9, I ended my time in the military, and my mother passed away.The latter has been … Continue reading How Life Changes . . .
california was a good idea because . .
1. The weather is awesome and it's always sunny. Seriously. I've been here almost 3 weeks and it hasn't rained once. 2. The people are a lot nicer. Or maybe I'm friendlier because it was my choice to move here. 3. There actual things to do here without looking in the depths of the earth … Continue reading california was a good idea because . .
This is why I write
I finally realized why I love to write. It took a long time to figure it out, but I FINALLY pegged it. It isn't for the same reasons I love reading, not even close. Nope. It keeps me sane and mellow. Besides B and my mom and all the other people I love, it's the … Continue reading This is why I write
I’m So Happy You Exist
I saw this quote earlier and it got me thinking. It's a quote I want to add to a Photoshop design and print it out for B.Its not for the sentimental part of me (even though I have a huge one). It's just a quote that makes me swell with happiness, because that's really how … Continue reading I’m So Happy You Exist
Star Wars and My 8-Year-Old
When I was growing up, I liked Star Wars a lot. I've seen the original series a few times. My daughter is almost obssessed with it. She reads books upon books upon books involving Jedi adventures. She watches Star Wars: The Clone Wars as often as possible. She has a countdown all set up for … Continue reading Star Wars and My 8-Year-Old
It’s A Sign
Every once in awhile I give up. Well, not really, more like I feel like I don't have what it takes to be a published writer. It's the joys of trying to accomplish something, anything. It's those bad moments that hit me every once in awhile.I had one of those moments today and I wanted … Continue reading It’s A Sign
2nd Grade Starts Here
Today was the first day of the 2nd grade for my little Brynnbug. She was excited and nervous at the same time, though she'd never admit that she WAS nervous. But nervous she was. So nervous in fact she posed like a 7-year-old diva:I should point out right now that I didn't teach her any … Continue reading 2nd Grade Starts Here
It’s All In The Genes . . .
Every parent always looks for similarities between yourself and your kids. It's a given to find more things in common. I can see myself in B, in a lot of ways. I used to think that it was her just copying me, but I've found lately that's not true at all. Her dirty looks are … Continue reading It’s All In The Genes . . .
