DD's passport was rejected this morning by the U.S. Passport Agency. The reason: Her dad forgot to put in her date of birth one the form and left that field blank. What are the odds that the form went through five pairs of eyes and not one of us caught it until it got to... Continue Reading →
He finally listened
We finally received the document that I had been asking him for over the last three months now. If he would have just listened in the first place, he could have made our daughter's life so much easier. We applied for her passport earlier this week. I had all the documentation needed. He had sent... Continue Reading →
I remember those Streets of Bakersfield all too well
Buck Owens knew exactly what he was talking about when he mentioned the judging that goes on in Bakersfield, and relatives are no exception to that rule. I sure wish I would have prepared myself better before spending the summer there in 2013. All I was looking for were better opportunities in a huge city... Continue Reading →
I had my daughter exactly when I wanted to in life
I had a conversation with a man today, who is the same age I am. He told me that his kids were all grown and gone. He had had children very early in life and told me I should have done the same, so that way I could be free to do whatever I wanted.... Continue Reading →
Use as intended
I am still so upset. I just couldn’t write this even over the weekend. I knew that if I would have, I would have used so much profanity and that wouldn’t have been a pretty site.

He began explaining to her but before he started, she hit record on her phone as she knew he would go into lengthy detail. After he... Continue Reading →
Going a different route
As stubborn as he is, it’s no wonder why he wanted to take another route. Let’s do things the hard way instead of getting things done much easier and in as little time as possible. Let’s just let time roll on by in hopes that airline ticket prices go sky high, so much in fact,... Continue Reading →
She still believes in the Easter Bunny
I asked her if she wanted to color eggs this year and her response was "I don't know what is wrong with me, I want to do it but I just don't feel like it. At least I know the Easter Bunny will be bringing me something." Every year I play the Easter Bunny. I always... Continue Reading →
He believes she knows why we left
I spoke with him briefly about the passport situation and reminded him that the authorization needed to be signed by him, notarized, and then sent to me. I told him he is holding up the process of purchasing her airline ticket and every day that goes by, the ticket prices go up. He said he... Continue Reading →
