I was watching as on TV this mom of 2 (less than 2 years apart) who had just battled cancer and was wearing the same drab stuff day after day teared up, saying ‘I want to look better, but I don’t even see myself in the mirror’…and the person helping her (with a quick makeover) […]

The answer is: not a whole lot.
I’m behind in just about everything and trying not to let it get to me. I’m still fighting sinus issues that either leave me with a headache or raw throat or random sneezing that’s not a cold, not really anything, but just.. blech. Not enough to bother me, but […]

If I get to the computer once or twice a day, I’m lucky. I do a lot of my thinking at the keyboard, because otherwise, my hands are full and I’m busy thinking about what I’m doing. Changing diapers, refilling cups of milk repeatedly, wiping fingers, tushies, and faces, making sure hair gets brushed once […]

I’ve come to a crossroads I suppose. I still get carded for alcohol, but even if a ‘young’ man was ever going to look in my direction (I’ll never be a MILF, ya’ll), I’m crossing into the ‘older’ category where they’re not going to anymore. Pretty soon I’ll be checking the 35-40 box on surveys. […]
