Men are wired to be territorial. It's part of masculinity. A strong, masculine man who is interested in you will naturally want to keep you for himself. My husband, for instance, doesn't like for me to wear short skirts or low cut dresses. Yes, he likes to look at me in those things, but he … Continue reading My Husband is Possessive and That’s a Good Thing

Thanksgiving
Our Thanksgiving has been wonderful. It was L's first Thanksgiving, and it was fun to share the day with her. C made an absolute feast for us, outdoing himself as always. Then, after we ate, C and A took naps while L and I painted. Now I'm reading a beautiful art book I got for … Continue reading Thanksgiving
Obedience, Moving
Obeying my husband is always necessary, and as usual, I know what he says is likely for my own good. I don't agree, but I'm being petulant, and he's probably right. I want to go off all my Bipolar medicine to help me lose weight and trigger hypomania (not mania). My husband insists that I … Continue reading Obedience, Moving
Birthday Girl
Today is my 36th birthday. My husband has spoiled me all day. Well, he always spoils me, but today he got me paints and tempera paint sticks and gelatos. Also, he got me a lovely art book. He made me stuffed shells (his stuffed shells are my favorite food) and got me a cake. I … Continue reading Birthday Girl
Wet Day
I am inside today, not exactly enjoying the weather. The snow flurries have been lovely, but nothing is sticking, so it's really just a wet, cold day. I am not well today. It's been a long week. I just wanted to share some abstract photos of light that I took this afternoon! I love light … Continue reading Wet Day

Stickers, sequins, feathers, rhinestones, thread etc. I have a ton of photos to choose from, but I don't think I have … Continue reading Old Flat Lays
Slow and Lovely
Life at home is slow and lovely. I woke up to a cookie from the batch I made yesterday. The sky is gray today, and everything seems to be sleeping. I have been feeling depressed, so I took a nap. Then I had lunch Now I'm cleaning, painting, and doing photography. I need to put … Continue reading Slow and Lovely
Planner Pages
I have started using my digital planner again. It's a homeschooling planner because when I bought it I thought we"d be homeschooling. Next year I might get a faith planner instead. Or I might keep this one for 2025 and use some of the homeschooling stuff for my self directed "MFA." The books I've read … Continue reading Planner Pages
Weird
I've got laundry running. I made cookies. I mopped. I took out the recycling. Homemaking is in full swing here. I plan to scrub my bathtub, sweep, do a general pickup, and dust next. Then, I plan to read and write. Homemaking is my job and my love, but writing poetry is my passion. Followed … Continue reading Weird
Writing
This has been a wonderful evening of writing. I've produced several poems. Of course, they all need various levels of revision. But some have potential! I've been reading and writing since I got home from lunch. We went to Mission BBQ today for Veterans Day. I'm so grateful to all who serve. The table for … Continue reading Writing
