Deforestation deep sigh

While on my way to get #1 son, I noticed a doe with 2 fawn trying to cross the road. I yelled to her, “No!” I said a prayer for the drivers behind me to see them also and continued on my way. The confusion that permeated from the doe was palpable. She’d probably grownContinue reading “Deforestation deep sigh”

I asked the question and the answers weren’t what I expected 😁😃

So, I asked the question: “Do you feel loved?” I asked the 19yr old first her response: “Why? What did I do? Are you giving me back?” (She’s grafted in) I explained why I asked and she laughed, “Girl yes! You scared me! Wait, if I say no do I get a car? 😐 Next,Continue reading “I asked the question and the answers weren’t what I expected 😁😃”

Sexual Wampum~2

As a young woman, I spent most of my days just trying to fit in with whatever crowd I found myself adjacent to; even now I still find myself struggling NOT to do that. Honestly? I’ve never felt “a part” of anything. I’ve always felt as if I float through this life alone. Now whileContinue reading “Sexual Wampum~2”

Body Dysmorphia

I’ve been NOT liking my body ever since my Aunt told me I was fat, I was very young. I thought I had BD, but after taking this unofficial test… I may have to rethink a few things. My hubby calls me sexy, desirable, and a veritable buffet of scrumptious… well, you know. 😉 But I’veContinue reading “Body Dysmorphia”

Today, I’m making every effort to slow done and smell the roses are littleContinue reading “A little….”

Kindergeld…. I need some….NOW!!

Kindergeld – Kinder === child(ren) geld === $$$$ They are giving an increase and making certain that Child Support isn’t being doubly paid to anyone. Reading the site gave me pause and a thought of moving back to West Germany. I first heard of Kindergeld while stationed there and considering citizenship.

RE: A post from Sept 2010 by Single Dad Laughing

I didn’t read the entire post as the writer asked I must admit I skipped from page one to page three of the very long post. I am very aware that opinion pieces are just that opinion pieces. I’m responding in this way because I wondered what was truly going on in the situation betweenContinue reading “RE: A post from Sept 2010 by Single Dad Laughing”

Chronicle of an ex-Church Girl/Lady

Today is Sunday. I didn’t go to church. I didn’t even sign in to an on-line service and there are a lot of those. I’m looking for a Pastor who is starkly in the middle of Osteen (motivational) and Shambach (no nonsense fire and brimstone). It would seem that the “heavy weights” of Kingdom work haveContinue reading “Chronicle of an ex-Church Girl/Lady”
