I know I haven’t been here for awhile. I was looking at my little blog last night and it looked so neglected. I decided I needed to get my butt back in gear. I have been M.I.A. for so long due to private issues that came to a head around… Read full post »

It's been a few weeks  since I last posted the pics of Kevin's new family. We have started handling them a little in order for them to get use to people. So here they are...

As I mentioned in an earlier post I had tried to answer O'Really?'s request that we try to limit our post to only five hundred words per post. I honestly tried to limit myself to this challenge. I really did. I even tried to carry it over to my other blog.… Read full post »

For so long I’ve stood under the umbrella of a dark cloud,

Couldn’t hear the music of joy for the thunder of pain,

Then he walked into my life,

Gave of himself without one demand in return,

Now I can’t say that a moment of my life has been the… Read full post »

I am a little off this week it seems. I haven't written anything outside of a few comments and a few personal letters since Saturday. I can tell it because I have had a bad case of the blahs since Saturday. So I am getting my butt in gear and making… Read full post »

She marched in to confront him. Heads turned as her heels clicked against the tile. She was a striking figure. Especially when she was angry. She stopped at the table and put her hands on her hips. "I have had enough of your crap." Heads turned to watch the action as… Read full post »

You sit at that bar stool staring into the amber liquid in that glass,

Looking for answers that just aren’t there,

With every sip you swear you escape a little bit from the pain,

You swear that it fades away with the buzz that pulls you near.

You whisper promises… Read full post »

I wanted to give everyone a head's up. You know how we have fiction Friday in here? Well I have decided for the next week I will be posting poetry, short stories, and flash fiction only. I won't be stepping away from this unless something really out there happens that… Read full post »

As most know my seven year old son, Connor, has this talent for throwing me for a loop from time to time. This of course makes him a source of entertainment to say the very least. Tuesday night was no acception. There was this little girl from the neighborhood standing out… Read full post »

The last couple of days I have been feeling a little drained. Not sure if it is due to my work schedule or the quick change of seasons. For us we have gone straight from winter to summer it seems. We have been hitting the high 80's to low 90's everyday… Read full post »

Bright colors of pinks, yellows, greens, blues, and purples. Tinny ducks and bunnies lined in the box like little soldiers of tempting goodness. The eyes that are flat and a light brown chocolate color but no one really knows(Or wants to know) what they are made of always beckon me.… Read full post »

It had been a long day for Sara. She had to waitress six hours at the restaurant before putting in four hours at school. Then she came home to two kids who needed help with homework, dinner cooked, and settled down for bed before putting in three hours worth of… Read full post »

Dear Mr. Phelps & The Westboro Church,

I hate the fact that in this day and age I have to write such a letter but you have given me no choice in the matter. Your actions have forced my hand in expressing how I feel at this time.

I have researched… Read full post »

Connor came in crying about twenty minutes ago. His little make shift swing that was composed of some heavy duty wire and a tiny milk crate that was made a couple of years ago. He has outgrown it and I had been afraid that he would end up breaking it. Well… Read full post »

I didn't mention this yesterday because I was trying to process it all (actually I was trying to forget it but my brain won't let me). I worked Monday night at the store like I normally do with my mom. Out of the three days they schedule me I usually work… Read full post »

It started off as any other day. The sun was bright and the birds were singing. It looked like another one of those perfect September Days where you want to go to the park for a picnic or just sit out in the yard to soak up the warmth of… Read full post »

I was talking to someone last night and we got on the topic about work ethics. About how people use to put in a strong forty to fifty hours a week. Then they would come home to do things like cut grass, plant flowers, or do home repairs. Always going never… Read full post »

1. The Tell-Tale Heart By Edgar Allen Poe- This is the book that not only turned me on to horror but also was able to open my eyes to the beauty and flow of well written words as well as a guilty heart. (Sorry the computer wouldn't do the correct… Read full post »

 I’ve given so much to you…

Tried in everyway to show you how much I care…

Many lonely nights I waited with the hopes you might have some time to spare…

I put my heart on the line…

Even though you never asked me to.

I let down the walls&helli… Read full post »

Here is a family picture of the new arrivals. I was able to sneak it with cell as she was getting back into the little bed. It was like she knew what I was doing and stuck her tongue out at me LMAO!

This is going to be a quick entry because I am suppose to be getting ready for work but wanted to share this before I ran off to clock in. Please excuse any typos or poor grammar I might accidentally commit. I hope everyone finds this a little bit charming. Have… Read full post »

Her face is weathered with age,

Her body now old and frayed,

Most just disregard her as worn out and feeble,

Not of her right mind,

But if you look beyond the wrinkles,

Look past the graying hair,

Look past the absent smile she always seems to wear,

You’ll… Read full post »

I sat down on the single bed with a classic in my hand (Frankenstein). He was tucked in tight waiting for me to transport him to another world that only can come from within the pages… Read full post »
