The Child Painting Pictures in my mind

Secretly everyone longs for something. Its those thoughts that run through your head right before you go to sleep.

I am surrounded by laundry I can't do, (I have no working washer or dryer) I have cleaned the rest of the house but still can't do this looming pile of laundry that seems to weigh me down. I can't leave the house, I'm trapped. I can think of a million… Read full post »

I was a teenage Step Mom how did anyone survive?

When I was 19 years old I became a step mom. I got involved with my now husband, he was 30 at the time and had 2 sons ages 5 and 6. I didn't fall in love with him on purpose. In fact when I first met him I thought I… Read full post »
