Go Away 2024, My Husband Hates You.

My mother pointed out a decade ago, I seem to have developed a debilitating phobia of Christmas. And living with 4 adults 21…

Unusual Perspective
I thought I might let you know some of my background. For those of you who are interested in that kind of thing. It’s kind of a bit sad so I have interlaced some pictures to cheer you up. My mother’s family seem like a sane bunch, except for a few issues of left/right dominance,…

Bad News I’m Not Sick
Finally the long awaited test results came in; proving I do not have adrenal fatigue. See Great News I Might Be Sick if you want to understand.

Frustration Eating Me Alive! Part 2
Part 1 here But lately as my two youngest reach the age that it all fell apart for the older two I am starting to feel a frustration at these events. I am afraid it is my internal conviction that my girls are talented but will never get anywhere. It is very disheartening to see…

Frustration Eating Me Alive! Part 1
A child on the school stage plays a wrong note. Ha, triumph; this will teach you to steal my child’s limelight. A second bad note, oh my God, that poor child! How can I be such a monster? She’s my child’s friend! But I feel that my kids need to be seen. They need their…

Dyslexic Daughter upDate
In my normal style of dealing with anything I have acquired books about my daughter’s 2 new conditions. I can’t read them yet. When I find a subject stressful I find when I try to read about it the words swim & hurt my head (more than usual). I often read by mentally spiraling the…
