But, actually. We are legitimately back to how life was before Covid hit and this sh*t is still running rampant. What the hell, parents. Like… what? Alright. So, let’s break this down a minute here. I am the most selfish mother in the world and I literally skip out of the school play yard because … Continue reading And… Back to Regular Scheduled Programming.
I am a 34-year old single mother of 5 kids who is still living with her parents. HA. I really know how to sell myself, eh? Maybe this is where I mention that I suffer from crippling anxiety and have sought refuge in my childhood home. My safe place, if you will. Maybe I did … Continue reading The Road Less Travelled
I was triggered the other day when I was scrolling through Facebook and fell upon a picture of my ex-husband with a supposed sober smile.

Okay Internet, I’m about to talk to myself here and fire off some thoughts in my brain because I’m a single mama- I don’t have a person to roll over to at the end of the night to debate things with. I’ve got me and my brain and trust me- it’s a banter that I … Continue reading To School? Or Not To School? To Work? Or Not To Work?
