There is no shortage of useless words. I’d like to say as a writer that every word is necessary and important and meaningful, but I do have a list of words that will never be used and are therefore deemed useless. By me, anyway.
Crewel work. I haven’t used that or heard of it since I [...]

Making It
I was talking to a woman about her daughter today, who is also a single mother, who also does not receive child support, who also seems to be managing and in many ways seemed to be exactly like me or at least in a very similar situation.
Without going into further personal details about either of [...]

Please Jump
Sometimes you’re standing on the edge and looking down and what you see could be the most sparkling pool of water, but something will keep you from jumping. Even if what you’re standing next too is dark and dismal.
I am embarrassed to admit that I watched Hannah Montana: The Movie. Actually, I own this silly [...]

I Don’t Care
I say I don’t care when I do.
Or maybe just the fact that I know I do this, means I really don’t care.
Here I am.
I care about my daughter.
I care about my family.
I care about my friends.
All people that know I care even when I say I don’t.
Everything else could possibly make my life easier, [...]

Him: Uh, Monday you need to work on this list.

Keepin It Real on the Soft Side
I have half a mind to delete the last post regarding “What I Mean When I Say I Love You” and it’s only because of the mission I’ve dedicated myself to that I didn’t press the big deleticus button like five seconds after it published. What mission? I have a couple currently with a handful [...]

I Can See the Future
I make decisions based upon what I think is going to happen later on. More specifically, the bad things I think are going to happen later that are going to destroy me and pull me so far under that I never breathe again.
(I’m also somewhat of a drama queen at times.)
I’ve cried and cried because [...]

Gorgeous Words
Words aren’t supposed to mean anything. Actions speak louder than words. A penny for your thoughts. Sticks and stones. (Which by the way is wrong. Words do hurt.)
But words move me. Sometimes, actually most times, it’s my own interpretation of the words and my own imagination and hope. Not necessarily the person sharing them, and [...]

Random Chick…This is Me
I have a ton of things going on and a ton of things I should write about here and since lately I have problems a) focusing and b) staying on task, I’m going to just throw it all out.
What I Hate About My Life
I’m a single mother and I work a lot.
What I Love About [...]
