I am making myself write and not go to sleep yet. I have paperwork to do too. *sigh* Always. I’m feeling better about the job, but it’s the kind of job that permeates your life. I don’t know why I thought working in mental health would be the kind of job that didn’t. It’s not [...]

I”m frustrated with myself right now. I don’t really like blogging like this, but I think it’s better than not doing anything with it. My journal is in my bedroom, where my husband is sleeping and my handwriting gets sloppy and the words….whatever.
So, I’m frustrated. I think there’s this one thing that is everything. I [...]

I decided two things I am focusing on this year.
One is inspired by a line from a poem I wrote: “stop biting your tongue at all the wrong times/you’re the only one that has to live your life.”
I am a peacemaker. I am a compromiser. I have played that role as long as I can [...]

I wrote this poem,” Debris” and it came back to me today, in a moment I was sitting in my car, and I was thinking this, today, is what “Debris” is about.
I’ve been off all day, making wrong turns in familiar areas, mind clouded and slow, irritated by music ( literally turned the radio on [...]
It was in the wind, soft but straightforward. It was like when the air finally kicks in on a summer day where your hair is stuck to your neck and your legs are stuck to the leather seat. It was right there in my face, in my ear.
“I’m right here, I’m right here”.

You know, sometimes I can’t help it, I’m sitting right beside you in that truck, listening to whatever CD it is you have in that day. And just as quickly as I got there, I am not. Left with the wave of loss all over again.
If I had known that wasn’t how it was always [...]

Ipod actually helps me clean.

New Years Eve, it was a week ago, and I was going to write something sooner, but didn’t. You know.
Anyways on the way home from work, I stopped at Food Lion to pick up some stuff for the night, since a few people were coming over. Well I guess while I was driving, the bag [...]

Natalie had a great birthday party. We made pink layer cake with sprinkles and colored marshmallows (using eggs from Cody’s chickens). We decorated with colored “Happy Birthday” balloons and pink and yellow streamers. I sat out the tents and tunnels, aqua doodles, beach balls, and the sit and spin to hopefully prevent everything from being [...]
