Life, Love, & Laundry

I am going to talk about how I deal with issues today.  I will start with an analogy that pretty much sums up how I ‘deal’ with things (I put the deal in quotations…as you will see I try very hard not to. Lol), it is a simple one. About 4 nights ago I picked up my daughter from work, she had purchased a bottle of chocolate milk, one of the small ones….that people usually drink in one sitting. Not her though and the next morning when I went to get into the car, I sat down on my seat,...

I have always loved new things new humans, new animals, new experiences.  I remember when we went to Guatemala, we went to an orphanage (not the type of orphanage we think of...these children were not for adoption) and volunteered by playing with the residents, feeding them as well as taking them for walks. All of the residents had various disabilities....we met one mother who explained that she has no other choice when her son was born because she works long hours just to feed her other children. There is no help from the government, she had no family that could...

I am getting ready to start a Tik Tok account…I know that sounds weird but according to my teens, I need to have a bunch of content ready to go…because consistency is the key (really sounds like the rest of life…hahaha) and since I know myself, I know there will be times I just won’t get around to/feel like/able to make new content…so before I even start, I need to have enough ‘in the cue’ so to speak.  I have learned the best way to get content is to watch content other people have made. So, here I am, watching Tik...

Here is another question that has been roaming through my mind lately… What is guilt? Why do we feel guilty? Especially over things that make no sense to feel guilty over. (Kinda along the same lines as the blog I wrote about the things we feel proud about…) Do some people just feel more guilt naturally than others? Is it a personality trait or an environmental consequence?  I am not talking about religious guilt…that is a whole other blog…that I cannot see writing anytime soon….so keep this in mind as I continue. Do you ever feel guilty for taking a...

The other night I answered the phone, it was a scammer trying to ask me questions about my account…with a company we have no account with. Hahahaha After I got off the phone, my teen looked at me and said ‘You are so polite.’ I mean, I know I am but I found it an odd time for her to point it out….so she elaborated ‘You were talking with a scammer and you said please and thank you and you would never have known it was a scam call.’  It got me thinking about it…and I guess the reason I...
