I look into the mirror I do not recognize who I am My mind begins to panic And my hands start to sweat Mornings like these are always hardest I feel as if I am crawling out of my skin. My body wants to scream But my lips will not whisper the slightest thing. Who … Continue reading Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Cabin Fever
If I’ve learned anything over the past few months, it would be that life is short. It is so much more valuable than we lead ourselves and others to believe. I took so much for granted before quarantine. Small things like going to lunch with my boys and being allowed to play at the park. … Continue reading Cabin Fever
It’s Just Another Manic Mom-Day
"Mom Fatigue" "Quarantine Fatigue" "My fatigue has fatigue" However you want to say it, one of us probably has it. Being home during this time has been a true blessing in disguise. I have recently had to stop reading every conspiracy theory and article floating around on my News Feed. The pandemic has managed to … Continue reading It’s Just Another Manic Mom-Day
Check on Your Friends:

Is This A Dream?

Today is the first day that it will briefly pass through before the rain comes to stay for a … Continue reading Fifth Monday of 2020
Getting Through My Seperation
My marriage failed. I failed my marriage. I could say it a million different ways but in all reality it all comes down to the same results. I was nineteen when we met. We were married by the time I was twenty-one. We got married in May. We moved into our first home together with … Continue reading Getting Through My Seperation
Generation “Smart Phone”
My morning routine is usually always the same. I get up an hour before my kids so I can drink a cup of coffee and try to wake up before the morning chaos begins. I used to scroll through Facebook while I drank my coffee. Sadly, it is the epitome of past generations reading the … Continue reading Generation “Smart Phone”
Never Grow Up
Tiny hands and tiny toes These are by far the things that matter most. They hold on tight But not too close I will be sad when you don’t need me most. Your eyes light up when I walk into a room And as I walk away, you start to cry. I never knew I … Continue reading Never Grow Up
