2003 - Fell madly in love with a poisonous guy. When I finally got it together and broke up with him, I was left with no friends and no job and more scars (emotional and not) than I care to divulge. The only friend who happened to stick by my side through that relationship also happened to be very deep into drugs and thus, my only friend after the ( Read more... )

Phoenix started his first day of Kindergarden yesterday. He was excited and then nervous... and his nerves got the best of him. The teacher had us come in the class to help unpack the kids' backpacks and it was so overwhelming. He started crying - like really crying - when we left. We knew he'd be fine if we just went though.

I know that the best way to get followers on my blog is to read and comment on other peoples blogs, so that’s what I’ve been doing. A lot ( Read more... )

Tonight Scarlett had a little freak out about sleeping. She wanted to sleep but she literally has about fifty stuffed animals and dolls on her bed so she couldn’t stretch out her legs. Of course she refuses to allow for them to sleep somewhere else, but we’ll figure it out tomorrow ( Read more... )

Wow, what a mommy filled day. Today I finished (well, almost finished) organizing the kids' toys. I split the toys between the "play area" downstairs and a few in each of their rooms ( Read more... )

Today I learned that I am not paying attention to things that I should be. I learned this after Phoenix had his first dental x-rays. A big Oh No is coming. I'm sure you all know where I'm going with this ( Read more... )
