Not A Real Family (April Page 18 )
He's not your real father. So don't expect him to care. She's not your real kid so don't expect her to love you. Step-kids aren't really kids. And Step-parents are just playing a game that they can stop at any time. But my Papa loves me. He shows me everyday and has always got my back. Years … Continue reading Not A Real Family (April Page 18 )
Yet Another Manic Monday
This week, I will turn 38 years old. This past weekend, I decided to celebrate my birthday with a party. Why? Why not? Too much of my life in the past year involved going and going with not much enjoying. So a break was in order. It was a great break. Friday, I went to … Continue reading Yet Another Manic Monday

Plans Are Meant to Change…
This weekend, I was tremendously excited because I had arranged to see one of my favorite people on this earth. Friday, as the title suggests, plans changed. Saturday wasn't meant to be. Which as it turns out was a blessing because I was sick all day. Not horribly so, just enough to make the day … Continue reading Plans Are Meant to Change…
My New Challenge
Thirty days without soda and so far I haven't retreated to the comforts of carbonation. I feel better and today, my jeans glided on instead of being pulled and tugged while I contort myself into them. I have been trying to think of what to work on for my next thirty day challenge. I want … Continue reading My New Challenge
