There are few things in life that have caused me to become hysterical, complete with screaming and near hyperventilation. One morning, however, I came toes to nose with the fattest field mouse I've ever seen, who was very much alive but oddly unable to move...which left me unable to move and so we stood there, … Continue reading Mouse Trap; Kersplat
Life Lessons From a Toddler; Light vs. Crap.
Sometimes in life really crappy things happen. And sometimes in life while your brain and heart are trying to deal with said crappy things (trying to figure out what is true, what is right, what is going on), someone reaches in their diaper and pulls out a giant hand full of crappy to smear all … Continue reading Life Lessons From a Toddler; Light vs. Crap.
Struggling
You know your brain has seen better days when you make an afternoon cup of coffee, take a drink, and realize that you somehow poured chicken broth in instead of almond milk. Hum, that tastes like chicken, she thought to herself. Help! I need a cup of coffee to make a cup of coffee!
Strong Woman Struggles

Just a Walk in the Dark
Sometimes, when I walk, I make it to my intended destination without folly or fault. Other times I am not so lucky, last night was one of those "not so lucky" times. It goes like this. It was late, the house was dark and the kids asleep. It was fairly quiet and calm in my … Continue reading Just a Walk in the Dark
