Today was the worst. Not because of anyone else or anything - I had a fine day, I guess - but if something could go wrong, it did today. This morning before school, I was grabbing something out of the downstairs fridge and I broke a shelf, causing all sorts of bottles to fall on … Continue reading January 14: A case of the Mondays; or FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU…..

December 19: I’m upset
I'm just kind of pissed off and things are setting me off and I just need to be left alone for a while. My guts have been sore since I had some unhealthy food the other day and I'm both annoyed by my sore guts and annoyed that I can't eat junk food anymore without … Continue reading December 19: I’m upset
December 5: staring at a blank page
It's hard to write every day and try not to be repetitive. Sometimes, nothing new comes up. Sometimes I am just generally content and things are going pretty well for the most part and I just don't have much going on in my mind. I mean, don't get me wrong, there's stuff going on up … Continue reading December 5: staring at a blank page
September 3: Labor Day; or, the end of summer
Tomorrow we all go back to school. Both of my kids and I are anxious-excited. I never sleep well the night before school starts, so I don't have high hopes for a relaxing night. The only person who saw it as just another night was Dak, who just kind of went about his evening, playing … Continue reading September 3: Labor Day; or, the end of summer
August 26: “the last day”
It's the last day of summer before I go back to work. Technically, the day is over and I have to be there in just a bit over seven hours from now. I should be sleeping, I know. I can never sleep the night before. The first night AFTER starting work, yeah, I can sleep. … Continue reading August 26: “the last day”

August 17: whatever
Have I used that title before? I have been wondering with some of these because I think I have habits with words and so I kind of cycle through some of the same ideas. Especially when I don't have much motivation to write. Yesterday, I was motivated and thinking, but today I was just sort … Continue reading August 17: whatever
May 30: Spectacle and Substance
I've been overwhelmed by the drama of everything lately, more than usual, more than even this new era of "normal." The news, the internet world, the real world... everything seems to be so much. Things I'm thinking about or reading about, in no specific order because nothing seems to have order anymore: Roseanne being cancelled … Continue reading May 30: Spectacle and Substance
March 27: Resumes are Dumb
I just updated my resume because, hey, you never know when you might need it. I wish resumes could be more straight forward - like, I just want to know what I should put on it - and less redundant. When you apply for a job at most schools, they have a whole online process … Continue reading March 27: Resumes are Dumb
March 18: A few things
A few things about ADHD brain: first of all, if something is out of sight, it's out of mind. Literally. I will buy a salad to fix and put it in the front of the fridge on the shelf, but then Dak will put it into the drawers. The drawers in the fridge are like … Continue reading March 18: A few things
