Some Thoughts

 I saw an article on Twitter today about Meghan Markle’s miscarriage. I, of course, read it because having had two miscarriages myself I always read when someone shares their story because I know the pain that it is and I know that it is a hard story to share when the world makes the subject so taboo and basically just wants you to shut up about it already. Anyhow in the article she says that...

What are your life goals?

This question was posed to me recently. No it wasn't for a job interview or anything like that, in fact it was in reference to a D&D character that I had created for a game my brother is running. Seriously. And as I was coming up with my characters goals and motivations inevitably I started thinking about my own and I found myself just staring into space before admitting....I don't know. Well...

So....yeah

Life has been super hard lately. My dog passed away. I got an unexpected flat that resulted in an unexpected expense of 2 new tires. Depression and general misery took over making daily tasks hard. My husband has been working 80 to 100 hours a week and we haven't seen much of each other.

I remember when I worked an office job and sat at a computer all day and I'd come in half an hour early to sit and catch up on all the...

So what happened to my blog? Life. Kids. Husband. I mean these things...

What's New with you? Stuff and Things

Joining the linkup today because I finally picked up my computer to do something with instead of just pushing it away in the perpetual mood that I've been in.  February didn't involve a whole lot because the weather kept us in pretty much the whole time. I don't mind that though. Everyone is all like "Winter needs to be over" and " I hate snow" and I'm just here like....but then it turns into...

It's all a mess.

I come back to blogging all the time. A new post! Here we are! Changes! New Things! I'm here for good this time! Yeah I do this all the time. And then nothing. Vanish. Poof. I fail. Because it's all a mess. My house is in shambles still from Christmas. I have things that still aren't out of boxes yet. The decor is all nicely put away...but there is still....STUFF....everywhere..... I started...
