Father’s Day, that one day of the year that we are to show appreciation for all the fathers out there. Personally, I think that we should show our appreciation more than one day out of the year. I feel the same way about Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day. If you love and appreciate someone, this […]

Ok, here is the final installment of my birth/pregnancy story. I was hoping to finish it in the month of May which is my son’s birth month but evidently, I had too much to say. Well, either I had too much to say or I was just too verbose and stretched it out. Either way, […]

So, here I am again, feeling crappy. Instead of calling my doctor, I decided to just go ahead and purchase a pregnancy test. Oh, before I go any further here are the other links to the previous installments, just in case you need some catching up. Part I, Part II, and Part III. Continuing on…so […]

Ok, the saga continues. If you’re new around here and want to get caught up, here are the previous posts: Part I and Part II. Now that the housekeeping is done, I will continue with the story. Yes, I had a miscarriage and didn’t tell anyone in my family. Why? I really didn’t want them […]

Before I start with part I, there may be some new readers who may want to catch up. If so, here is the link to the previous blog so that you don’t have to go looking for it. Continuing on, now that the doctor told me officially that I was pregnant, it was time to […]

Normally, I don’t talk about things like this but I felt compelled today. On Tuesday, Derek Chauvin, the police officer who murdered George Floyd was found guilty of all charges. I didn’t watch or listen to the trial everyday but I did get summations from NPR throughout the week. Trying to listen to that would […]

We are currently in the middle of spring break and I feel that it has already gone by too quickly. My son thinks that he was the only one looking forward to it but I’m here to say, he was not. I, like many parents and teachers, was looking forward to no school. Currently, my […]

It’s that time again! Spring break! Woohoo! You would think that I’m still in school with my reaction. Even though I am not, I feel as though I am. My son is a sophomore in high school and he is still doing virtual learning. When I say that it is stressing me out, I am […]

Contrary to popular or unpopular belief, we still are in a pandemic. Yes, that darn virus is still running amuck. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty tired of it. Not that I can’t stay home but there are times when I actually want to go out and see my friends and family. Sure, […]
