Taking 2 antidepressants gifted me a glorious November. I keep a daily mood log, and I have never had a monthly chart look as good as November's. I had a few days that weren't great, but the rest were all good days. I can't remember the last time that has happened to me. I think … Continue reading 2 Antidepressants, Gaming, DBT
The Evil of the Trans Movement
Yesterday I had some time on my hands, and I read Matt Walsh's new book, "What is a Woman." I always knew the trans movement was sick. It denies the reality of the body and allows men to intrude in women only spaces. What I didn't know is that the two men who started it, … Continue reading The Evil of the Trans Movement
Tropical Storm
Tropical storm Nicole is getting close. The sky is gray and the waves are crazy. I can see them turning white from my back porch. School might be canceled tomorrow. I hope it is. I don't want to drive in a tropical storm. This isn't a hurricane like Ian (at least it won't be when … Continue reading Tropical Storm
Why I Tell My Daughter About Hell
A lot of people won't talk to children, especially young children, about hell and the very real possibility of going there. I, on the other hand, have always made it a point to talk about hell as much as I do Heaven. I want my daughter to know there are very real consequences to not … Continue reading Why I Tell My Daughter About Hell
Ode to Joy
Last night, while passing out candy to the roughly 560 kids who came to the door, I began to read a book of poetry by Anne Carson. Suddenly, for the first time in months, poetry came to me! I'm afraid to get my hopes up, but I think poetry is back. I'm so excited! I … Continue reading Ode to Joy
Getting Rid of Feminism in my Daughter
Last night my daughter was mad at a boy in her class. I mean mad. Why, you ask? Because he said men were stronger than women. In a society where young boys are typically shown horrible models of what manliness is I think it's great if a little boy is proud of being a boy. … Continue reading Getting Rid of Feminism in my Daughter
Tasks I Want To Do
My husband gets home from El Salvador tomorrow night. I haven't been on top of my homemaking. I started the week extremely depressed. As of yesterday I was starting to perk up, but I haven't been sleeping great at night so I've been sleeping a lot during the day. My father in law goes home … Continue reading Tasks I Want To Do
Education Without Returning to College
I've recently been looking at the photography program at a good online art school. I'm just not sure I want to give up my freedom. Right now I can spend my time reading the books I want to read and doing the creative projects I want to do. I already have an undergrad degree, and … Continue reading Education Without Returning to College
Long Day
This morning Craig left for El Salvador. I woke up before he did and didn't manage to fall back asleep until after his plane took off at 6. My father in law arrived last night to take my daughter to school this morning. I am so glad he's here. For some reason, maybe the bad … Continue reading Long Day
New Photo Series
I got brave and asked in the local military wives group if I could photograph people's homes, yards, and businesses. A few people have said yes! I feel so blessed to have this opportunity. The series will be done with My Instax Mini camera, as well as my phone connected to my instax mini link … Continue reading New Photo Series
