Sharing our household’s experience with the Coronavirus. We were among the fortunate, mild cases. It all started when hubby woke under the weather general malaise-wise, and called out to work. He did the acetaminophen and ibuprofen regimen I learned as an Army medic and after 2 days felt well enough to go back to work.Continue reading “Our Covid-19 Experience”

The 100% honest, 2nd baby (same gender) registry
Ok, so I don’t know about anyone else’s experience with registries, but I spent a lot of time and energy building a few for my first pregnancy. Everyone was happy for me and asked where I was registered. The long-distance friends I kept after the Army, my settling-into-a-new-city-budding-friendships, work friends, family… so lots of people.Continue reading “The 100% honest, 2nd baby (same gender) registry”
Blog Writing – Comfort Through Anonymity?
So when I started this blog, I wanted to keep everyone more or less anonymous so I didn’t potentially offend or embarrass anyone – mainly stuffy old relatives and the kids looking back since the internet is forever. My husband is a private person, and extended family on both sides are quite conservative (prudes, notContinue reading “Blog Writing – Comfort Through Anonymity?”
Lots Going on… Mental Overload
So my depression took a downturn recently. There’s a lot happening at once and while its not all bad, it’s still an overload. Good stuff include Deedee turning 3, preparing for new baby, and my *cough* 40th birthday coming up. Double depression whammy between my Grandma’s apparent giving up on life recently and a lackContinue reading “Lots Going on… Mental Overload”
Grandma’s Given Up?
My Grandma had 8 children, which turned into 17 grandchildren, and my bun in the oven makes 28 great-grandchildren for this incredible woman. She’s nearly 96 now and never did embrace technology, so no computers or cell phones, meaning no emails or video chats. Her solo daughter (yes, my aunt has 7 brothers), in recentContinue reading “Grandma’s Given Up?”
Wishing My Childhood for My Kids – Nostalgia
There is a sense of the 1980’s in my trailer park. No sidewalks, kneepads, or helmets, and plenty of kids running around with no obvious supervision. Yes, my trailer park fits some of the negative stereotypes you may immediately think of, but I’ll defend it every time because it’s a hellofa lot better than theContinue reading “Wishing My Childhood for My Kids – Nostalgia”
31 Weeks Pregnant and Almost 40 (years old)
This is me venting a bit… I’m sure most of my complaints are more pregnancy in general or baby number 2 specific. Oof – I miss not living in fear of the surprise sneeze while sitting cross-legged. I suppose giving up the cross-legged pose at my age should be acceptable, but I still like doingContinue reading “31 Weeks Pregnant and Almost 40 (years old)”
There are 2 distinctly different “Karens,” can we re-name one?
When the entitled, customer service related “Karen” memes started, I immediately recognized “her,” and thought it was funny. Most of my working life has been within customer service and restaurant work. Actually, all of it because so much of my time as an Army medic was in an aid station which mirrored customer service. IContinue reading “There are 2 distinctly different “Karens,” can we re-name one?”
Crochet Kismet (boy I’ve missed creating)
I love arts and crafts. All of them. If I had the money, I’d be handmaking anything and everything. I daydream about having a booth at the renaissance faire with all the handmade costume and décor pieces I can think of. Buuuut, I don’t have the time or money to devote ALL my time toContinue reading “Crochet Kismet (boy I’ve missed creating)”
Baby #2 Due This Fall
Oops, I never announced my pregnancy! In my first few posts I know I mentioned trying to conceive, then recently I just casually mentioned I was pregnant, so here’s that story. Ok, well, everyone reading this knows how babies are made sooo not that part… My Deedee (my actual nick name for her, I thinkContinue reading “Baby #2 Due This Fall”
