Complacent (a poem)
Hello and welcome to my blog. I can’t sleep. Again. And my mind is in overdrive about nothing. I’m just stressed out that I can’t fall asleep because I know I’m going to be exhausted in the morning and it’s making me want to stress eat and it’s making it more difficult to fall asleep. […]

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

Parenting Catastrophe: Homework
I don’t have anything wise to say today. I’ve been a basket case lately, losing my temper every time my son disobeys me. I take everything personally. 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 […]
