The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
You ever go through periods where you know what you should be doing, but you still find yourself super lost? Totally me lately. Most days I didn't know my left from right as it was. Now I spend my days trying to get the gears in my brain to just move. It seems the smallest... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was my first day of grad school. Okay, so I’m only taking one class, but still it’s a big deal for me. Just one class of anything takes a lot! Let alone grad school. You’re becoming a master in something. Besides, working full-time and having a family is already a full schedule. And lately,... Continue Reading →
Last night I asked Aria to try on a shirt that I wasn’t sure if it would still fit her. After she put it on and I took a good look at her, I realized my baby girl is growing so quickly. Her body is transforming into a tween. She looks a little bit like an... Continue Reading →

Miss Aria is... Continue Reading →
In a world of so many haters, let me be your cheerleader! Well, the cheerleader that wears all black. And drinks too much. And hangs out with a bunch of misfits. And hates the sun. Cheers to you and all the great things you will become! A much, much younger friend sent this to me... Continue Reading →
With this school year wrapping up, it seems like my little familia is having a lot of stuff going on. There have been changes, endings and new things are coming very quickly. My people. First, one of our longtime friends Daniel, passed away a week ago. His brother David let us know last Sunday that... Continue Reading →
Aria was about 4 weeks old. I had an appointment to be at that afternoon. Vince was at work. It had taken me like 5 hours to get ready - and I didn't even do my hair! I just threw on a cap. Between getting myself ready, getting Aria ready, getting her fed, and figuring... Continue Reading →
