You ever go through periods where you know what you should be doing, but you still find yourself super lost? Totally me lately. Most days I didn't know my left from right as it was. Now I spend my days trying to get the gears in my brain to just move. It seems the smallest... Continue Reading →
First Day of Scary
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 →
Just Stay This Little
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 →
Finishing Soft
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 →
Dear Santa
Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is my bills paid. And about a week’s worth of sleep. And one of those cool Blvck notebooks that are way too expensive, but oh so cool! I’m so tired y’all. I had the bright idea to work at my local Santa Land. Making $50 a night to... Continue Reading →

We’re All Mad Here
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 →
Life Does Not Suck
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 →
So Long Sweet Summer
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 →
Waiting In Time
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 →
