The Papasan Chair
Side note: I definitely thought it was “Poppyson Chair” and I like my way a lot better. Just sayin…. I moved in August 2019. Moving was a pretty big deal because we had been at our old house for 13 years. Jess Sr. and I purchased the home together right before Jack was born andContinue reading “The Papasan Chair”
Am I Broken?
This is the question on my mind this week. I have been so good for so long. Figuring out everything and how to do this whole life thing all over again. Making really good life choices, not only for me, but for my children too. We got into a groove and were doing so well.Continue reading “Am I Broken?”
IDGAF
“I don’t care what other people think of me.” So many people say this all the time. Hell, I say this all the time. Let’s be honest for a minute…We do care. I have been struggling with this one for a while now. My desire to not want to care is fighting with me stillContinue reading “IDGAF”
WWJsrD
I often find myself thinking… What Would Jess Sr do? I would very much like to know what you would think of all this madness. I’ve been thinking about it a lot. I’m sure you would still be working because you’d work at a restaurant. As a manager, maybe you’d even be working more. IContinue reading “WWJsrD”
Attention Fellow Humans: We are NOT OK
I have been more absent than usual. I try to only write when I am inspired to do so to lesson anything feeling or reading forced.

They Planted New Trees
Four small pine trees in line with the rest of the giant ones at that spot. Four signs that the majority of the world has moved forward and the world is still turning. Trees. That’s all they are. Something to look pretty and shield the neighborhood from the busy street that lines it. I don’tContinue reading “They Planted New Trees”
