Wish list with pen New Year resolutions aren't really my thing --mainly because I feel like I'll disappointed myself if I didn't accomplish what I said I would do. However, I like to make "wish lists"...yearly "bucket-like" lists if you will...that way I feel like I did something worthwhile for the year [no disappointment attached].… Continue reading …mid-year check-in (compliments of auntie Tabitha Brown)

…soulful cry
I've been banging my head on what to write about next. I'm not feeling creative these days, but thought there's more to my motherhood journey than just my kid.... So enjoy this little thing I wrote instead : ) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Yesterday, I cried. No one passed And I wasn’t hurt. Nothing serious like that I… Continue reading …soulful cry
…change
So I cut my hair…. I know, I know…I’m always doing something and can’t sit still. But I think I needed it. I needed a change I could control, fully. The months of July and August were just filled with so much change and me just rolling with the punches because that’s what I’m supposed… Continue reading …change
…nostalgia
Well, it is done! We are officially all moved into our new apartment. And as much as I'm over living at the previous place, I can't help but think what significance it had for me. Before having Ky, I wouldn't have considered myself stable, but I was comfortable and only had myself to think about.… Continue reading …nostalgia
…being aware
Then: I wrote this back in May, but couldn't bring myself to publish for whatever "writer's block" reason. By now if you've been following my journey, you'd know I deal with some [self-diagnose] depression (or anxiety as my physician loosely diagnosed me). And during this quarantine I have been trying to deal with this as… Continue reading …being aware
…[late] mother’s day post
It's [Quarantined] Mother's Day! Well late Quarantined Mother's Day....We had some technical difficulties...*shrugs* I wasn't sure what to write for it...because for me every day is Mother's Day. Every day that Ky is out here doing kid-like things because [or in spite] of me, is a day my Motherhood is celebrated [or tested--depending on how… Continue reading …[late] mother’s day post
…finding motivation quarantining
I have been feeling discouraged and not wanting to do anything; teach my child, teach my students, engage in my Christian groups...nothing. So what does this mama do? Buy an office! I know, I know...I should have done something else with my stimulus check, like save it for our future home. But mental health and… Continue reading …finding motivation quarantining
…stir crazy
Day 31-ish of Quaranting... Anyone absolutely losing it yet? Just me? Cool...cool... Well since I have all the time in the world apparently...I'm up [at 3am] and trying to figure out how to not drive myself insane. Shall we?: Art: I have been trying to find a hobby for years (outside of writing) and forgot… Continue reading …stir crazy
…two dads
"...maybe you should go on a date and get married...so then I can have two daddies..." My kid casually told me this a few nights ago and I don't know whether to be sad for her or....what. I mostly feel sad. Saddened that she feels the need to want some other man around to call… Continue reading …two dads
…quarantineNteach
This week will be my first week having to teach remotely from home. Last week was in preparation of it and the two days I did work from home, I was helping my families understand how to get everywhere in this eLearning world. On top of that, I cleaned my entire apartment, shifted some things… Continue reading …quarantineNteach
