Throwback Thursday: Storytime: It’s nice and peaceful out here
Check out this post I wrote exactly a year ago…it’s ironic because my son’s cousin came over today and I was overwhelmed by it too. Maybe it’s a good thing I only have 1 kid. I don’t think I could handle all the extra noise and hassle. Hello and welcome to my blog! How are […]

What’s in my drafts folder: Titles I won’t be writing
Hello reader and welcome to my blog. I think I’m hitting a writing slump. I’ve been reading blogs lately and comparing myself to other bloggers (something I know I shouldn’t do) and now I feel awful that I don’t put as much effort into my blog as they do. I have recently been passionate about […]

My opinion on the Texas Abortion Law
I have been reading about this a lot on social media, and at 1st I didn’t want to comment on it since even though I’m half American, I’m from California, and I don’t currently live in the US. However, it seems to be a matter that has gotten really big and I wanted to give […]

I start yelling and threatening, and obviously, that doesn’t work. I deleted all his games today because he hit me in front of his teacher when I asked […]

How to be positive during negative times
When did I become such a negative person? I open my mouth and all I do is complain. I don’t like being like this. My needs aren’t being met because…well, I don’t want to get into it now. I tell myself to smile. I practice it in the mirror. I tell myself I’m happy. I […]

Storytime: I cried today
I feel like I’m writing a war journal. God forbid this turns into a war. The 4 hours without electricity have extended to 15 hours without electricity. We don’t know for how long. Other areas have no electricity for days at a time. I fear if this gets worse, all the meat in the freezer […]
