Ron

I had a very strange day today. Well, more like one incident that made the whole day feel strange. I had a visitor at work.
His name is Ron and I met him ten years ago when we both worked at a restaurant in town. Ron is one of those guys that everyone likes. He’s sweet [...]

I Miss…

One of the things that I miss about marriage is having someone to talk to about random, unimportant things.  Like if I saw something strange at the grocery store.  Or about the person at work that drives me insane.  Or a book I’m reading.  Or my thoughts on God. 
I guess that means I miss the [...]

Early Mid-Life Crisis?

Maybe not.  But I feel like I’m changing.  I don’t recognize myself lately.  I never in a million years ever considered becoming a teacher, and now I’m about to start working toward my teaching degree.  (Yes, I still want to do the librarian thing, but one step at time people.)
When I was in my early [...]

Ghost of Boyfriends Past

I think God has a sense of humor.  How else can you explain the fact that I just happen to run into my ex-boyfriend at the social security office (I was there to get mine and Shiloh’s last names changed), when there is a long wait and I can’t escape with a quick hi?  Now this [...]

My “Four Day Weekend”

Hi guys!  I’m still here.  What a weekend! 
**********
I went to court Friday to terminate my ex’s parental rights, and to change both mine and Shiloh’s last names to my maiden name.  It was mostly long and boring because I had to wait about two hours for my turn.  The judge kept pushing my case back.  [...]

Conversation With God (Seriously)

So I should be in bed right now.  (What’s new, right?)  But I had to write this down before the moment passed. 
Tonight I was getting ready for bed, brushing my teeth, washing my face, etc.  I was thinking about a blog post that I want to write on humorous things about being single.  As I was [...]

Random Weekend Stuff

I’m exhausted!  Busy busy weekend.  My sister and brother-in-law were in town so of course I stayed up way too late every night.  Saturday we spent the day with my parents and that evening my parents watched Shiloh while we went out.
It was my sister and BIL, my cousin and his wife, and another couple [...]

Perceptions

** Wrote this one  a few weeks ago, but never published it.  Decided to post it today, since I don’t have anything new to write about. **
Sometimes I wonder what other people think of me.  Particularly in my church and other Christian circles.  I hesitate to even write these words, because I know that not [...]

One Step Back

I’m having one of those moments where my life feels like a charade.  Like I’ve been fooling myself and I’m still exactly where I was three years ago.  Like I’ve never moved forward or healed at all. 
I hate that the smallest thing can bring back those feelings.  Fear.  Loneliness.  Anger.  Uselessness.  Embarrassment.  Shame.
It’s so rare for me [...]

Legal Stuff

I was going to blog last night, but my brother came over and was playing online poker until 11pm.  Okay, he did offer me the computer if I needed it, but I told him I didn’t.  Anyway, just a few updates…
I went back to the lawyer’s office yesterday.  I had to give them a copy [...]
