This Crazy Life

I don’t think anyone can possibly understand how hard I try every day.  How hard I try to make everything work.  How hard I try to make everyone and everything as successful as I can.  How hard I try just to get out of bed in the morning.  I think that is why I’m so…

I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying before.  Little kids, little problems.  Big kids, big problems.  If that isn’t true, I don’t know what is.  Aside from your little kid having some serious physical or mental health issues, as in an extremely severe eating disorder, most little kid problems really aren’t that big of deal. …

What do you do when you realize you’ve completely failed your kids as a parent.  You’ve set them up for complete failure to succeed in the real world.  That’s where I’m at.  Especially with one of my daughters.  But really with all of them to some degree.  I have one daughter struggling to go to…

My oldest is a high school senior.  She’s going to graduate in just a few short months.  I feel like I should be doing more, checking in with her more, making sure she has everything ready, is enrolled in college, check when she’ll sign up for classes.  But she doesn’t want to grow up, she…

She’s had two or three sleepovers with her twin sister.  And all just in this last week.  She’s stayed up in our house after she gets home from work.  She’s bought dinner with her at work and brought it home.  But since she’s already “dirty” from work she just stays dirty and sleeps up here. …

It’s a new year and 2026 is going to be my year.  I have big goals, big dreams and a lot of things I want to accomplish.  I started off the year sick.  We returned from vacation on 12/31 and I got the flu.  Hard.  I think I’m just finally back to life with full…

We’ve had Thanksgiving.  And my daughter was present in my house.  She wouldn’t sit in the room while we ate, but then she played games with us afterwards.  We went to the in-laws house for Thanksgiving and she sat at the kids’ table while they ate.  The week before we went to Arizona to see…

My twins are back to being so close again.  I swear it was like a switch flipped overnight.  She’s becoming a person more and more every day.  Getting out and doing things.  Being around people.  Laughing, smiling, joking around.  She’s been up in our house until 11/1130 the last two nights.  The girls are having…

My 2 other girls had been getting along.  And actually getting along well.  They were friends.  They enjoyed each other.  They hung out with each other and with each other’s friends.  We went on a few trips together.  Then everything changed and we’re back to oil and water.  I know what changed, but I’m still…

She’s been at her job for 2 months.  And it’s been going ok.  There have been a couple of struggles leaving the house, but for the most part it’s been really successful.  She’s enjoying getting out and being around people.  So many people around town have seen her and sent me positive messages.  However, her…
