The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
Every Saturday Aria has basketball practice or a game, so that takes up most of our morning. But last Saturday was a very busy day for these Texas Alexanders. Besides our morning basketball routine, Texas Tech Athletics held a kid's sports clinic at their basketball complex. It was held in celebration of National Girls &... Continue Reading →
This past Tuesday I turned 43 years old, y’all! And it was the BEST DAY EVER! For starters, we got to have a snow day around here. That meant I got to take it easy and hang out with my little familia all day! Aria woke up way too early because she was excited to... Continue Reading →
Last year right about this time, I was broken. I lost who I thought I was. I lost my muchness. I allowed others to dull my shine because I was looking for validation.

It seems as Miss Aria is getting older, she’s getting busier. Which in turn means Vince and I get busier. We have to block out time to drive her places and of course, the time she will be at whatever activity. This semester has taken a whole new turn for my Little Precious. Her school...

You ever have days when you're just sick of your whole life? I'm having one of those days - all this week, if not all month. Last night I finally vocalized what's wrong with me. I don't even know how we got there, but while talking to Vince over lord knows what, I said it.... Continue Reading →
I haven’t done an Alley Food post in a long time! Mostly because I've been too crazy busy to join Husband on his bowling ventures.
