For those of you wondering where I have been, I'm still around. I could have never imagined I would live to see everything I am seeing out in the world today.

A disturbing letter received
Three weeks ago, I received a rather disturbing letter from my x-sister-in-law. We used to write a couple of times a year but that hadn't happened in the last two years.

For as long as I can remember, I have always been the type of woman to say "bring it on" to the higher power each and every time things have went wrong. I welcomed the challenge. A few weeks ago, me and my daughter were in a discussion about her friends from school and one... Continue Reading →
My daughter will finally have a Sibling and it’s a boy!
Before you start getting any crazy ideas running through your head of a woman my age pregnant, think again. 🙂 A couple of months ago, my daughter's father contacted her to tell her that his new wife was going to have a baby boy. At first, she took it a little hard because her and... Continue Reading →
His anger is never ending
My daughter decided, as a joke, to text her dad and tell him I would be going to Greece with her this summer. She asked him if he would pick us up from the airport and if we could stay at his place. He told her this was serious and something that they would need... Continue Reading →
