I swear you don’t know how good you have it till it’s gone. Part of me wishes that things could be the way that it once was. Unable to find full time or employment at all sucks balls. Countless job applications, with little to no results, makes a person wonder & question their competence & [...]
This July makes 3 years since I left a great job, my awesome friends & family, the place I called home for 15+ years, a place where my daughters made their 1st steps, there 1st words, experienced their 1st year in school, there 1st crush, many 1sts. Only to venture back to [...]

since I last updated this blog. My sincerest apologies to everyone. Let’s get everyone caught up. Let’s see… my 1st born walked the line on June 5th & received her high school diploma. Yay!! She did it!! We did it!! An awesomely proud moment! But I swear there were times that I thought we’d never [...]
