  • Mommy Guilt

    Tuesday, April 1, 2008 | A Sad story

    I don't work.  Well, I work, but I don't have a job.  Well, I have a job, but I don't get paid....in money.  I am a stay-at-home mom.
    I am also very lucky that I have full time help.  Really lucky.  It's nice to be able to drive the other kids to school and other activities without having to interrupt the baby's nap schedule, etc.  Really nice.
    The ...

  • Dreaming.....

    Tuesday, April 29, 2008 | A Sad story

    I dreamt about my mother last night.  I don't remember much except that she was sitting in a wheelchair and she had her Alzheimer's.  Like it was at the end.  But for some reason, she had that blissfully unaware Alzheimer's.  The blank look, empty smile.  Not the agitated, anxious, upset Alzheimer's that my mom had.  I got to hug her.  I buried m...

  • Dog Hair and Tears

    Saturday, December 27, 2008 | A Sad story

    It is four oclock in the morning and I am standing on the back deck, it is misty, warm and a bit erie like we are in a cloud.  I am barefoot and wearing a navy blue dress I have had on for three days and nights, and that is it well except for the drips and slops down the front, coffee, soup, dog hair and dried tears.  I am watching the outline of my dog go to the bathroom by the lellow ...

  • Goodbye 2008 hello 2009

    Wednesday, December 31, 2008 | A Sad story

    This has been a very stressful year, I am glad it is over.
    I hope all of my friends are ok and will have a wonderful 2009.  I am not in the mood to celebrate tonight, I am still a big pile of tear stained goo.  My brother will be missed so much, it is like my family is forever damaged.  Growing up the kids were like the group that couldnt be beat, there were six of us, four boys and...

  • Our Journey

    Monday, February 9, 2009 | A Sad story

    My husband had a stem cell transplant on April 15th of 2008. The road has been a roller coaster ride since. We had such positive attitudes at the beginning of this journey. We are both beaten down and grieve each other so much, the way we were. We have been married for 8 wonderful years. We are both in a 12 step recovery program, Christ centered and my husband has been in AA for 23 years. We live...

  • A bad night turns into a bad morning

    Saturday, August 8, 2009 | A Sad story

       My mom and I are now speaking again, even if it is only about the stuff she wants to hear. It's tough having to walk on egg shells all the time, for fear that she'll explode about something that was said. But it's progress, I suppose. And it's good timing too because right now my sister is very sick.
    Her infection is completely throwing her for a loop and it's goin...

  • Pain is a hard thing to lose

    Saturday, August 15, 2009 | A Sad story

       I feel like I can't do this anymore. I am so tired of waking up in the morning, feeling like I can't breathe. I have this ache in my chest that won't go away and as soon as my eyes open in the morning I'm bombarded by good memories that I wish were still a part of my life. I miss my ex so much and the memories are so bittersweet. I wish I was still living in the time ...
