I’m feeling like a bad mother tonight.  My son got home from Afghanistan on Saturday, but I missed his post on Facebook.  I have too many things in my news feed (like pictures that friends post that they like… they’re funny, but enough is enough).  I think it’s about time to start cleaning up my […]

It’s funny, we all pay the consequences for the decisions we make.  Some of us seem to be aware of this, and some of us take the victim route instead. Right now, I’m dealing with the latter.  The person I’m talking about has 2 kids and has been married for a very short time to […]

Last year, the CDC posted a blog entry about the Zombie Apocalypse (opens in a new window/tab).  No, they weren’t actually expecting zombies to pop out of the ground.  Instead, they were trying to make a point about being prepared for bad weather. Then last week, I was reading an email from Natural News about […]

More food for thought. I used to struggle with the fact that I’m an introvert.  When I was growing up, I’d read during my free time.  In grade school, I’d read during the time after I finished a test before the test time ended.  At least one of my teachers found it hard to get […]

So I haven’t been posting much.  Since the last time I posted, my oldest, my Marine left for deployment.  He’s overseas, and momma’s kinda worried about him, even if she doesn’t write him as much as she should. I hate having him so far away, another time zone, across the world.  I keep wanting to […]

This week, I’ve seen myself reflected in others’ eyes, and I’m not entirely happy with what I’ve seen.  I’ve resolved that I’m going to change some things, try to become more of who I want to be. I’ve also spent a lot of time trying to figure out what I’m passionate about other than my […]

When I first saw today’s date, I kept thinking it was someone’s birthday. The thought was bugging me because I knew it was someone I had been close to at one time. Then at lunch, I figured it out. So I had some chocolate covered strawberries in honor of Xxax, who was once my best […]

For the last week or so, I’ve caught myself looking at things that happened in the past with a lot of regret. I see mistakes I’ve made and wonder if I made the best choice in the situation. I’ve been thinking that I might make a different choice knowing what I know now. I see […]

There are so many places looking for donations, it’s hard to choose just one.  Not only that, money seems to be tighter for a lot of people this year.   But if you’re looking for somewhere to donate, Archive.org is looking for donations.  They have increased the amount of information and websites that you can pull up through […]
