Want to laugh like a demented truck driver and not be singled out? Or cry, sigh, moan, and sing if you are so moved? This is the place. I write about life and all its silliness, while regaling you with stories you recognize as your own, but don't want to publicly admit to. I'll take the blame and you can act like you would NEVER have done THAT! My doglets read all the comments made to my posts, and they are good about replying, especially if you mention a treat in your comments. Welcome to the little voice you want to put a muzzle on, but can't find one that fits. Let the fun begin!

I should have been smarter than that. After all, it was the evening before I would enter my 30’s. But insecurity, infatuation, a touch of desperation, and a ‘why not’ attitude, seemed to be my motivating impulses. So, I said ‘I do’ with no understanding the dangers step parenting hides for the unsuspecting. The man… Continue reading Stepping Through Parenthood

The Burden

Blocking the sunlight It moves slowly, quietly Knowing its place Claiming it with each tick of the clock. Not marching, but steadfast  Untiring, constant  Bringing relief to some,  Fear, or tranquility to others.
