This is funny. A really funny story. Yesterday I cleaned my room. I pulled the sheets off the bed and threw them in the wash, put new sheets on and finished cleaning my room. After that I sat in my living room to watch T.V. and realized after I sat down that I wanted a Dr Pepper. The sodas are in a mini-fridge in Dan’s closet so I get up to go get one and the T.V. in our room is on, and it’s…

Holy balls what a day. Last Tuesday was my first day in the office in a very long time. Now I go in every Tuesday so today is Tuesday time to go to the office. If you haven’t got it I go in to the office every Tuesday. It takes me an hour to get from my house to the office, my start time is 7 a.m. I have to leave my house at 5:45 a.m. to get there on time, so there’s that, but that’s not the…

I wanted to do a podcast of my dad’s stories, but yesterday I recorded myself, and I’m not really sure that I want to now. I don’t want to record a video, just audio, so I feel like it would be flat. Today I am going to post it and maybe do a video file with it, so it would be like a read along type of thing. That might be a little more entertaining. I did research from the time period so I am…

My current crochet project along with my happy mess I’m back starting today. I have made a plan in my head and hopefully I will follow it through. I have had a lot of starts and stops in my life lately. So, now I am starting again. I’m going to keep going no matter what. Writing helps keep me grounded and sane. It also gets my thoughts out and helps me to realize not everyone is going to…

I had a hard time sleeping last night. I kept waking up, and I was so tired, probably overtired. Today is Friday though so it’s the end of the week and I have the weekend to recoup. Next week I start going to the office every Tuesday which I have been dreading, but at least it gets me out of the house once a week. My youngest is going to NRH2O today and yesterday he and my middle son went to…

Yes

It wasn’t just one it was the entire Ramona Quimby series. Do I remember what they were about? No I hope Beverly Cleary doesn’t read this.

The picture I’m working on now I don’t have much to say, Dan said don’t say anything. We had a mental health seminar at work yesterday about stress and burnout. The lady said writing in a journal was a good way to relieve stress. I already write in a journal, still stressed. She also put up a chart with colors, like green was no stress, yellow was a little stressed and red was all the way like…

My son has been having car trouble so he’s been using my car. He said he didn’t change the seat, and he probably didn’t, but it feels different. Like when someone borrows your shirt and when you get it back it doesn’t fit right anymore. Or you can’t stop thinking someone else wore this, does that happen to anyone else but me? A friend and I went out one time and due to an unfortunate accident…

Journal Entry Monday June 2, 2025

It’s a Monday. I have been out of it lately. Do you ever have a time where you lose track? Like everything that seemed important isn’t important anymore? I had a plan at the beginning of the year. I was following that plan. I was writing every day, contacted a publisher and I emailed an art gallery. The art gallery rejected me, but I was expecting being rejected. The publisher told me I…

It needs to keep storming in Texas because I have been sleeping great. Also work has been boring lately. Usually we are three or four days out with work so for example, yesterday was the 22, usually we would be working the 19 or the 20. If we finish the day we are working we help other people on our team with that day. So if you finish the 19 in your bucket you go help finish the 19 in someone…

Does anyone have a Keurig? This is the second one I have had and I just want to know one thing, how the sizes of the cups work? It seems like no matter what cup button you pick it brews half a cup of coffee. I thought it was just me, but my work has Keurig machines and I made a cup there once and picked the large button, it made half a cup. My question is, why bother? I know the answer the…

I’ve fallen off with my writing. Life happens fast and hits you so hard sometimes. My youngest son is going through something and I don’t know what to do, it’s like you think you have it handled but…you don’t. No matter what though I love him more than myself. It’s hard being a mom. I wish now I would have given my mom more credit. She had a hard road to travel. My mom had to work long…

Zoey the dog I am really going through some things. How do you talk to a teenager? I want to do counseling for us both but BCBS makes you go to your account on their website to do that and I can’t get into my BCBS account. When I worked for a previous employer I had BCBS, then I changed to Aetna. Well this year I changed back to BCBS so I could have an HSA. When I try to set up my online…

This blog is about my children, but they have their own story to tell. So no photos of them, but here is a lizard that was in my back yard. My children without a doubt will give me heart troubles. They will test my patience and my resolve. They will not agree with everything I say and not like some things I tell them. My children will, and have, break my heart. I won’t always tell them when…

There is nothing wrong with me. The doctor that read my labs was incorrect when she saw something wrong so now I am out $300 and a lot of stress over nothing. So now I’m just pissed. We trust certain people with things, and we trust that they will correctly diagnose those things and when it is all just nothing it makes you angry. I have been struggling with this since April 30, wondering what…

I haven’t posted lately because I have some things going on that I can’t talk about and be coherent. I recently had some tests done and they found something. It’s probably not anything serious, I mean, I hope it’s nothing serious, but I won’t know for sure until after Monday. That’s when I see a specialist. Until then I have to struggle through this internally because otherwise I’ll just rant…
