Sunday Funday...

If there's one thing you can't have enough of, it is photos with your kids. I know I am so thankful for all the photos I have with my kids. So Bill and I took his kids shooting and I decided to grab my camera, to document this day. It may have been an ordinary Sunday but those are the best days.
It felt good to use my camera again, I really need to bring it along more often.

Can we talk about Menopause?

Image
Who knew it was such a bitch? Why don't we get this talk from our grandmothers, moms or aunts? I needed the menopause talk way more than I need the period talk. Give me my period back, you can have this menopause shit. First let's talk about the hot flashes! Yes, I knew they were thing but holy fucking hell they are horrible. It's like your body is burning up from the inside out. They start off slow, you have warning that you are about to look like you ran a 5K. The heat slowly intensifies and then BAM you have sweat rolling down your back and you'd give anything to be able to strip your clothes off and stand in front a fan. There is no predicting when they will decide to attack, and usually they do so at the most inconvient moment. Like when you're checking out at the grocery store, or when someone needs to talk to you about something important. So you are stuck in the situation hoping nobody notices your face turning beet red, the sweat beeding up on your forehead...

Why did you stay so long?

I get asked this question often, usually by people that have only known me a short time. The answer is simple yet complicated. I stayed for my kids, it's that simple. But is it? I didn't seek divorce because I was afraid. I was afraid that I couldn't do it. I had been a stay at home mom for 18 years, 18 fucking years. That's a long time to put everyone in your life before you. It's a long time where you could have been doing something else, but those kids of mine, they were my number one. I have no regrets staying home and doing everything. Everything from carpool to dinner, to all the cleaning and laundry. Day in and day out I put my needs and wants on the back burner. I made sure everyone had lunches made, dinner every night, clean clothes to wear. It all landed on me and I loved it. I loved it so much I looked the other way, I made excuses. I didn't notice his drinking problem until me moved to Modesto but again, I made excuses for him. Then shortly after t...

An Open Letter To My Kids' Bonus Mom

Image
I've been on the fence of writing this letter since the weekend my childrens'father remarried. The next weekend my kids talked and talked about how great the wedding was and I knew then I had to write it. Even with that it's takens me weeks to find the right words. But alas here it is. I didn’t want to like you, I didn’t want to know anything about you. I was okay with just knowing your name until my kids started talking about you. At that moment I wanted to know everything they knew. And I’m glad I do. I’m so thankful that you proceeded with respect for them. I was thankful you made them feel comfortable in their home. You didn’t invade, you didn’t dominate, you slid into their lives and let the flowers grow naturally. You’ve bonded with them all, from what I hear it’s a precious bond, one to not be broken. I appreciate that so much. So with all that said I say thank you for accepting my children the way you have. They have great respect and love for you. Whether...
