Me trying to get over the dreaded fatigue, and Aria just being cute. A few weeks ago, I told you about my Mounjaro journey. Well, today I took my 52nd shot. I've been on this medicine for one year! It's been quite the roller coaster. On the downside, I've lost SOOOOO much hair. Then I've... Continue Reading →
Here We Go Again!
It's that time of year again! Your social media feeds get filled with back-to-school pics, traffic gets busier, and everyone's schedules get complicated. We're totally in the mix of it all. This morning Aria and I were actually ready early. Traffic was light. Drop-off was almost too easy. Yup, my kiddo is ready to rock... Continue Reading →
Find Me At The Rock Show
Sorry! I've been absent for 2 months from around here! Totally not intentional. The Alexanders have way too much going on lately. Lots of things are not going well at our house. It seems like when one thing finally goes right, ten other things go wrong. We're not backing down, but it just sucks. Taking... Continue Reading →
The “L” Part
Yall, my child is just so smart beyond me. A few weeks ago, I ordered some new stickers. They are of a little character I created named Estrellita StarR. Well, for these stickers Estrellita is dressed in support of her LGBTQ+ friends. As I was opening the package, Aria was curious to see what I... Continue Reading →

Soooo, last week was my 45th birthday. I'm 45, ya'll!!! I used to swear up and down that if I Iived to see this age, I would throw myself a quinceañera x 3. But of course that didn't happen. With all the stuff I have going on right now, there's no way I could've done... Continue Reading →
Be Louder, Shine Brighter
The last couple of months of 2024 were a challenge for me on the personal front. I was hit hard. So much that it forced me to take some extreme action - I took my tail back to counseling. Anyways, throughout those two months, I had time to find some things that have been suppressed... Continue Reading →
The Hard Truths
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 →
Dear Daughters
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 →
Friday Evening Gratitude
My brain is fried, y’all! Had a crazy busy week at work. I just finished the second part of my homework that’s due by midnight. I’ll finish the third part tomorrow. Thankfully it’s not due until Tuesday. This part will include some design stuff, so I’m really excited about it! I’m tired, but honestly I... Continue Reading →
Level 10
Yesterday was Miss Aria's 10th Birthday! While we got to celebrate her with a fun party, my baby girl has not been feeling well. Turns out she has a little pneumonia. It breaks my heart to see her not feeling well, but she is on the mend. Anyways, I couldn't go without mentioning this important... Continue Reading →
