The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
Just a quick blog post. I’m exhausted, y’all. It’s been crazy busy around here. Between life, business travel, work, and grad school, I’ve had no chill. And I’m fighting off a weird cold that’s messing with my brain and I don't feel good. But I’m not letting the bad win me over. I’m going out... 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 →

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 →
It’s a busy time of year for us and we've been here before. School gets started, Aria's schedule fills up, Vince starts a new bowling season, putting together Aria's birthday party, all the Fall activities, and in between there I do my best to keep it all going with perfect pitch-black eyeliner. Miss Aria is... Continue Reading →
The summer has officially come to an end. What I thought would be a quiet summer turned out to be a few weeks of reconnection and it was really nice. Second day of school selfie. I reconnected with people that it’s not that we lost touch, but we’ve just been busy with life. We're all... Continue Reading →
When I was little, there was this big tree in front of our house. It had this perfect spot at the base for me to sit on. I would sit there looking towards the main street that cars would turn to go towards my house. Every time my parents would have another of their toxic... Continue Reading →
