Ick! More Growth!
Warning – it’s (accidentally) a long one! *sigh* I REALLY hate being in therapy! It’s exhausting and painful and icky! I feel like I want to take some time off from it, but I suppose when things are hurting this badly, it isn’t the right time to quit going. *sigh* All sorts of things have …
Niece’s Birthday Party
Oh my goodness! I wrote yesterday’s post, hating how negative it was, but feeling the need to write it anyway. All the while, I knew that today’s post was still waiting to be written. I don’t think I’ve mentioned D’s best friend. He has four daughters – aged 6 – 13. They call D “Uncle …
Not for Children?!?!
Okay, Dear Reader – I’m up in arms. I don’t know why this is irritating me as much as it is, but I’m seriously perturbed. I’m upset about all of those who are whining about Disney’s movie, “Turning Red,” not being for children. Ugh. Just – ugh! In case you haven’t heard the hullabaloo, it’s …
Imposter Syndrome
Dear Reader – have you ever heard of “Imposter Syndrome”? I have it. Whoo Buddy, do I have it! Psychological pattern in which people doubt their accomplishments and have a persistent, often internalized fear of being exposed as a “fraud” I have this. Seriously. I have it BAD! “How bad?” you ask. I’m glad you …
My Weird Dog!
When we first brought Bear home, she was incredibly skittish. No, I’ll call it like it was – D used to call her a scaredy-catdog. If she’d seen her own shadow, she would have been terrified by it! We have countless videos of her being afraid of something completely harmless. I bought her a toy …
So Over It!
Yuck! Counseling sucks! In the past few months, I hadn’t had as many thoughts about my abusers, which I really appreciated. I was letting my past stay in the past, enjoying the present that I have. Now I’m being prompted to delve more deeply into my past wounds so I can let them heal. Of …
The Test
I had to pee. Yes, I knew that my deadline was fast approaching, but when Mother Nature calls, it can be really dangerous to not answer. So, I found the nearest bathroom and entered. Of course, it couldn’t be that easy. The bathroom was FILTHY! Toilets that were backed up, no TP in the ones …
The Other Woman
I recently found out that my children’s father is (yet again) dating the woman who ended our marriage. Granted, I had already left him and fully intended to divorce him, but I didn’t have the money, so we were just living apart, not even legally separated (I couldn’t afford that either). Once I found out …
Turn, Turn, Turn
I realized that I hadn’t written in a while. Life has kinda settled into a groove, and I haven’t made my blogging part of that groove. My apologies! And then I realized, it’s probably because I don’t have a whole lot to write about right now. It’s amazing how peaceful my life is, with a …
