Le heavy sigh.....

I was very much looking forward to some respite care for the girls today. I get one day per month and it’s about 7 hours in length.  Last night I developed an optical migraine, which developed overnight into a headache just teetering on the edge of a full blown migraine. With that of course came [...]

Oh my head, this and that

I have the stirrings of a migraine, not good. I’ve been getting migraines more often lately which I’m pretty sure are stress related.

Been unsuccessfully trying to clean the house lately. Between the cold and not being able to breathe and now this lingering migraine, it’s not looking good. I’m hoping to get rid of it [...]

My kid will get the last laugh

My eldest kid recently participated in her first Science project. She didn’t win, and was rather upset about it.

I explained of course that she cannot win them all, and what she needs to do, is take a look at what others have done, compared to hers and determine what she could do better next time.

We [...]

Sick and lazy

I woke up at 3am with a throat on fire. I checked my glands to see if I was maybe snoring, and they were swollen like walnuts. Lovely.

I’ve been taking oil of oregano every 4 or 5 hours or so, and so far it seems to be kicking its butt. But, that also leaves me [...]

Full Circle.

I’ve written a lot on here about my mother, mostly in the lost data base.

We haven’t spoken in over three years, it was her decision. I guess she didn’t want to communicate through the written word anymore, and I stood my ground when she decided to push my boundaries by calling me. So, contact was [...]

Well, Happy Valentines Day!

I’m trying not to think about this being the 2nd valentines day without Glen, but it dawned on me this morning that it has indeed been two in a row now.

I’m not a big one for holidays anyway, they’re just another day. I’ll get an extended valentines vacation in just 17 days.

Last night I picked [...]

Too quick on the draw

So, last weekend didn’t turn out to be a bust after all, apparently the buyers didn’t feel the need to place orders until the last hour of the show. Made for a great ending to the trade show let me tell ya!

It’s been an incredibly busy and stressful week. I came home from the show [...]

Feelings are hard.

I’ve been trying to explore my feelings more. Go to those uncomfortable places. I’ve been taking chances with people. It’s scary as shit, but also….starting to get a little easier.

I’ve had a situation, well, not a situation, but I guess more of an event. A simple one really. Someone offered us supper. In their home.

For [...]

25%....1/4....half way to halfway there.

We’re 25% into this deployment and it’s really starting to wear.

I’m tired of feeling that I’m on my own.

I’m tired of people asking how I am, with the expectation on my part to say “Fine! Great! Wonderful!”

We military wives are supposed to be made of tough stuff. To put our lives, careers and everything else [...]

Nothing cuter….

Than watching a grouchy old grandpa be reduced to playing dollies on the floor by a three year old.
