Today has been a good day. Not really anything specific to point at, but a culmination of good, if you will. I got kind of excited, there was pop rocks for sale at the register when I was at the store. Impulse buy. I hurriedly opened up a pack at my desk, and had just […]

Day 80
Parenting a kid with oppositional defiant disorder is no joke. No one really understands what it’s like if they don’t have a kid like that themselves. I did some reading up online about parenting ODD kids today. Nothing really that I hadn’t heard before, but a refresher on basic skills was good. It’s been hard […]
Day 78
I started writing a post yesterday and never finished it. I deleted the whole thing. I feel like yesterday’s positives are gone. In retrospect I shouldn’t have done that, but I did. It’s been an epic parenting disaster. I’m short on sleep, didn’t eat dinner last night, forgot my nicotine patch. J is teething more […]
Day 77
Fall has a smell to it. This sweet smell of leaves. It’s almost indescribable. I noticed it when I left my work on my lunch break. It’s warm and humid, and the leaves coming off the maple tree are giving off that scent. I kind of love it. It makes me want to be outside […]

Day 73
Today I was contacted, along with other people by a person I know with a request to share the worst of the drinking stories on an anonymous blog. I immediately said yes, because that’s what I do, but now my thoughts are going. I’m not particularly concerned about this person knowing the dark and dirty, […]
Day 71
Exhaustion. Pure physical exhaustion. And I quit smoking. I pretty much finished unpacking and putting together the beds. I have the living room mostly arranged to my liking, and my lovely keyboard is set up. You know, the important things. I replaced the blinds that A broke our first day here (took two trips to […]
Day 67
Ever notice that people in general, have a whole lot of opinions on what you should or shouldn’t do? I had a conversation with my sister today that really brought this to my attention today. And she has the right to her opinions I guess. It really comes down to me, that what’s right for […]
Day 66
It’s been a busy weekend. I made good on the meditation, saw friends, packed things, watched live music and came close to falling off a dock. Also the state fair. The state fair is a pretty big deal in MN. It’s supposedly the third largest in the US, and there were over 200,000 people there […]
Day 65
You know that thing that happens sometimes, where you suddenly realize you’re lost in your thoughts and you come to and it’s like you were somewhere else completely? That’s been happening to me a lot lately. I feel like there is so much happening right now in my life, that I’m constantly spinning. At […]
