The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
My poor baby. Miss Aria has been struggling a bit these past few weeks. She's been learning the hard truths about humans. She's had to deal with friends not being very friendly. She's learned the hard truth that she may be loyal, but that loyalty might not always be reciprocated. She wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone,... Continue Reading →
I will always fight to get you there. Dear Daughters of Generation Alpha and beyond: I’ve taken a few days to try to figure out what this feeling is. After some careful thought, I pinpointed it. It’s not anger, fear, rage, or jealousy. It’s sadness. I’m sad because everything that was built for you is... Continue Reading →
Mr. Alexander is currently injured. A few weeks ago he sprained an ankle. Since he’s out of commission, his yard work has been put on hold. So this morning Aria and I got up early to help him out. I mowed and Aria helped rake, while Vince supervised. When we went out to the alley... 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 →
It seems as Miss Aria is getting older, she’s getting busier. Which in turn means Vince and I get busier.

It’s been 8 years since this beautiful little human came into my life. I feel like she was just born 2 seconds ago! I still haven't forgotten the miserable labor pains! This past year Aria really stretched out in more ways than just physically. She decided to try her hand at sports and she's killin'... Continue Reading →
Dude, on Thursday I had a rough morning to top off a rough week. Thankfully, I got to leave work early because I had signed myself up to help at Aria’s school for their Egg Hunt. At first I wasn’t sure my mentality was quite in it. But in the end, it’s just what I... Continue Reading →
There are days she seems so grown up. She has moments when it’s all about BTS, gangsta rap, and everything she wants to be someday. There are days when she is smarter than me. Then there are days like today, when I’m reminded she’s so little. She has so much life to live and things... Continue Reading →
Most days I have no clue or direction. But for now, I helped Aria with her homework, did her nightly reading, and got her in bed on time. Now I’ve got to get our clothes ready for tomorrow, finish my daily reading goal (I’m trying to get back into reading regularly like I used to!),... Continue Reading →
You guys! My baby girl just turned 7 years old! We’re almost halfway to her Quinceañera. This child of mine. I don’t know how I got so lucky to be the mother of this amazing little girl. She’s got so much personality in such a tiny body. My Little Precious, you are the most beautiful... Continue Reading →
