I've been here a few times. I've started posts, and somehow abandoned them, overwhelmed or maybe even just uninterested. I admit, I didn't read any. I simply withdrew. Things got bad, but of course I cannot elaborate except to say if you are a parent, what is the worst thing you can imagine for your… Continue reading Liminal

Pumpkin
One of the issues with not writing as frequently as I used to on my previous blogs is that I forget what I've let you all in on... or not. For example, I don't think I have confessed to my pumpkin spice... problem. It's really a newer issue, as most people were well aware of… Continue reading Pumpkin
Because I SAID so!
I really thought this whole Empty-Nester thing was going to be so easy. I mean, what is there to figure out? It turns out that the answer is... JUST about everything. Drama sorted itself out by the end of last week, and more relaxed days returned. That meant I could go back to trying to… Continue reading Because I SAID so!
In Sweaters
It's Autumn, and yet again I've gone a month without writing. In that time, my anniversary happened (24th), and more struggle with my son and his college stuff. For a little while, I thought everything might be ok, and I actually experienced some happy days. ACTUAL happy days. I haven't had that in almost five… Continue reading In Sweaters
Freedom (sorta)
Folks, I sit before you typing this out as a "childless" woman for the first time in 21+ years. My daughter moved back down to NC, after following us back up home to VT. My son has flown to NC to visit his girlfriend. My husband is at work. It's just ME right now! In… Continue reading Freedom (sorta)
A Little Paint
My work had a certain trajectory and pace, once. I interrupted that when we decided that relocating to North Carolina made sense in 2014 (huge mistake, but it's done and I'm back in Vermont. *deep breaths*) As soon as we said "Go", everything destabilized in my world. It's little stuff from having things where you… Continue reading A Little Paint
House Crazy-Land
As I mentioned in my previous post, we're in the midst of a major remodeling phase. There are a lot of things to fix in this house, but one of the biggest was the kitchen. I'm going to post photos, but the truth is that you just cannot comprehend how poorly this kitchen was laid… Continue reading House Crazy-Land
Yep, Still Alive
Ok, to be completely honest I did NOT forget that I have a blog this time. I actually sat down to write, many times. Instead of completing a post I could publish, I found myself overwhelmed and negative, and just deleting the whole thing. It's just been... a lot. Not all negative or anything, but… Continue reading Yep, Still Alive
Early Onset… something
I feel that I have to channel my daughter when I say this... "People, I legit forgot I had a blog." Yes, really. I"m 44, but I'm starting to wonder if I need to go get checked out or something. I was even at my computer last night, messing around during some rare free-time, and… Continue reading Early Onset… something
Renovation Overwhelm
There is a lie that we often tell ourselves that if we had the means to buy this or that, things would be better. It's the same lie every single person tells themselves when they buy a lottery ticket. I'm not saying I have anything against buying a lottery ticket, mind you, because I love… Continue reading Renovation Overwhelm
