my limits.
I try not to make decisions when I’m angry. It’s a work in progress. Sometimes I’m good at it, sometimes not so much. Hubby is pretty aware that he’s not great at it either, so he tells me to wait…
where there is smoke.
I struggled with writing this one. Likely because I don’t want to create a label for a kiddo. However, it is probably important for someone out there to know that this is something that happens. I know I really make…
thanksgiving.
We’ve made it to Thanksgiving. I’m not cooking, I haven’t cooked for Thanksgiving in several years. Instead, I place an order at BJ’s Catering and let them handle the job! So later this afternoon hubby and I will be heating…

The laundry fairy.
I do approximately 100 loads of laundry in a month. Yes, really. It’s crazy, but I have issues that prevent me from letting anyone else touch my washer and dryer. Yes, I know that is also crazy. I own my lunacy.…
AWOL comes in waves.
