The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
So, how you doing? I've become the worst at posting lately! Sorry. Much like you, life has been busy out here. Miss Aria is kickin' tail in school and all her activities. Mr. Alexander is doing his thing and I'm so fortunate to have him to do life with. Me, I'm still doing grad school.... Continue Reading →
While you were busy complaining about nonexistent problems this past weekend (Olympics whiners, I'm looking at you!), I was busting my brain cells trying to finish a paper for my summer class. I turned it in last night just an hour and a half before the deadline. This morning I woke up knowing I'm in... Continue Reading →
Every year on Father’s Day, Vince and I celebrate the anniversary of our very first date. This year was a little different. For starters, on that day he and Aria were traveling back home from visiting our family in New Jersey. Then, we've just had all sorts of stuff going on. So we really didn't... Continue Reading →
The summer just started and I don't have much to look forward to. This year we're not taking an awesome big vacation like we have the past two years. I'm really sad about it. Vince and Aria are in New Jersey as we speak. I considered hopping on a plane and just going with them,... Continue Reading →
I've been known to rave about my perfect, precious child and how amazing she is. Well, Aria is human and not without fault. As the school year is coming to an end, I'm reflecting on things we've learned and how she's growing into her own person. One thing that has been a continuous problem this... Continue Reading →
I think about how later this year you would've been turning 16. Yesterday your Daddy bought tickets for himself and your little sister to go visit our family in New Jersey. You'd be old enough to stay with your grandparents for the summer if you'd have liked to. I think about how you probably would've... 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 →
Yesterday I started this huge blog to catch you up on all the reasons I’ve been M.I.A. from my little blog. Then my photos weren’t uploading correctly and I got frustrated, so I just put it away. Today I remembered a graphic a friend posted that totally spoke to me: Before Christmas, I had decided... Continue Reading →
You know that post that says something of, "You don't know what others are going through. Everyone is fighting their own battle," or whatever preachy nonsense? I just got a dose of that. Yesterday I ran into someone that I met way back when I first moved to West Texas. I hadn't seen her in... Continue Reading →
