I am my own worst critic.This is true in most areas of my life. From my photography (which I rarely show) to my writing, I pick apart nearly every single thing I do. I replay past conversations all the time, trying to figure out if I could have done better. This is especially true when I lose a good friend. Though at that point, I spend days ( Read more... )

"Why do you exist?"
He asked me this years ago. I was struggling, wrapped up in my own little world. I was a single mom on my own juggling the responsibilities of a full-time job at a convenience store, a part-time job assisting an elderly woman, full-time college courses and raising a 4 year old. The "me time" that I managed to fit in was very ( Read more... )

It's a bit depressing that when I "try" to write for therealljidol , I do poorly. (In other words, when I write in the third person.) This last round I barely made it. So I think from now on, I will just write as if whatever was happening in my entry is actually happening to me. And that means more FICTION disclaimers so certain individuals wont have heart ( Read more... )

It's that time again.
Vote for me, pretty please? ♥

Thank you for your help in getting me to the next round.

She felt kind of bad. After all, her dear old nanny had been ever so doting and though she was getting on in years she still functioned admirably. Most families would have scrapped her and gotten in a new one. Well, that is what she did now, wasn't it. Scrapped the poor thing.

I said I would have a real post.. so here one is.
I'm nervous. therealljidol will have week 5's poll up soon. I'm not certain how I will do. I haven't bothered to check the competition and I refuse to do so until the last day of polling. Hopefully I will do ok.

Things have been.. meh. I made some fudge yesterday and gave over half of it away. I don't even know ( Read more... )

How could I have been so stupid?

These things never last. This was NOT what I wanted. Well, ok.. maybe it was.. But I didn't want it like this! I wanted to be able to be with him. To share this news and have him overjoyed that he finally had a child of his own. Instead, here I am.. pregnant, and afraid to even let him know because I don't want to ( Read more... )

It's the room we spend most of our time in. Twin computers side by side. Proudly built by yours truly. I wont go into the specs because that has all been done before and, frankly, there are now better home-grown computers out there. But they are still fast. Still have great graphics. Still can be used for a multitude of things. They are our babies ( Read more... )
