I put a lot of thought into organizing our new place. It is a no brainer that our sunroom is my favorite space in the house. It seems the more sparkly lights and green plants, the better a room makes me feel. Even if it is not insulated AT ALL and stays FREEZING during theContinue reading “My Favorite Space is Green”

Homeschool for the Win!
I mentioned in Homeschool, shmomeschool! that I never thought I would be a homeschool mom. If anything, I was on the anti-homeschool side. I seriously love this. I’m hoping I can fill these last few months with lots of fun stuff and maybe…just maybe…Emma will asked to be homeschooled again once I’m done with myContinue reading “Homeschool for the Win!”
Rainbows, Unicorns, and Motherhood #7: It Puts the Stuff in the Basket
Messes. I frikkin hate messes. They make my anxiety go haywire and also cause some flashbacks to some negative memories. I am not the neatest person in the world (much better than I was in my dorm days 😬 ) but I tend to keep a decent house. Enter kids. And husband. And now dog.Continue reading “Rainbows, Unicorns, and Motherhood #7: It Puts the Stuff in the Basket”
(Re)Tired Ramblings #1
It’s been almost two months since my official retirement date and I finally started on my retirement checklist, per my post Tattoos, Baldness, and PJ Pants.

Mom, when you Die…
I spent some time thinking my youngest was a super morbid kid. As she’s gotten older I’ve realized she is just super curious and occasionally fixates on specific topics. Death just happens to be one of those topics. She’s an opportunist though, so the conversations usually go something like this. “Mom, when you die I’mContinue reading “Mom, when you Die…”
Therapy Again…
Just finished up my intake at the Syracuse VA so I can start working through trauma in the PTSD Clinic. Some days I just want the shit in my head to go away. It’s so weird thinking that I’ve been stuck in a similar mental state for 13 years. There’s a chance I’ll be 75Continue reading “Therapy Again…”
Oki the Pup
We got a puppy! I’ve promised Emma we could get a dog since she could talk, but we had to wait until we settled somewhere. Full disclosure, I am not an animal person. I’ve never wanted a pet. I’ve never been super fond of other people’s pets. That is, until I met my sister’s dog,Continue reading “Oki the Pup”
