I’ve been working on allowing myself to feel all of my emotions. Somewhere along the way I learned to stuff certain uncomfortable feelings. Especially anger. Can you relate? At all? If I felt mad I’d stuff it down as fast as it came up. Learning to accept all of my emotions can be a challenge. […]
I’ve been getting mad at my husband lately. My feelings get hurt, and then, I get mad. It’s been from zero to one hundred in lightning speed. He’s returned to working in his office and hasn’t been working from home. Oh, how I enjoyed the time he was able to work from home, but it […]
During my son’s wedding my little four-year-old grandson was under the chair next to me for part of the ceremony. He was a ring-bearer, his little one-year-old sister a flower girl, and with both of his parents in the wedding, the plan was that the kids would both get to the babysitters waiting off to […]
Yes, “buttering the biscuit” is a euphemism for sex. We have all felt exhausted from time to time, but if it has interfered with your “adult nap time” it’s time to turn over a few pillows. First check is priorities. What are we doing with the time and energy we do have? Has “fun time” […]
My son recently got married. Weddings are exciting and also filled with so many points of possible conflict. This wedding was extra special because it was his second one. Sometimes no matter how hard you try and no matter what you do things just don’t go as you had planned. In the worst of days […]

My husband locked me out of the house today. I was completely locked out and couldn’t get back in the house. We usually workout in the mornings together. We have a “gym” in our garage. Since Mike had to leave for work early, he decided to skip the gym, and head out early. Me, on […]
I was previewing one of my podcasts. As I listened I was making breakfast… Cutting up veggies and piddling around in my kitchen. My sweet husband was being playful and fun. Mike joked with me… I shrugged. Mike asked me if I wanted him to start the laundry load I had waiting on the floor… […]
We’ve all seen it happen. Many of us have done it. We’ll be talking, and then all of a sudden the words coming out of our mouth are toxic. We begin complaining. I’ve done it. I think we’ve all done it. When it gets really destructive is when… The topic on the complaining board is […]
