Here's the thing about quitting smoking
When I say in conversation that I’d really like to quit, I’m just being polite.
I really don’t WANT to quit. I like it too much.
Is it killing me? I’m fairly certain it is, but I like to smoke cigarettes.
Not sure what my angle will be in explaining this to my daughter in a few short years.

Terribly interesting read.
Sibling reality checks
My sister is fantastic when it comes to giving me a reality bitch slap from time to time. From our 20 min convo. I’ve learned the following:
I’m over 30, quit whining & work out.
Stop believing my own lies.
Stop bitching & accept things for what they are.
Love my little sis.
Positive or a negative?

Loss & the aftermath of
An old friend, whom I used to see/date from time to time when I was in high school many moons ago passed away yesterday, by taking his own life. I’m going to share a post with you all because I’d like you to see some interesting reactions this received today.

For my sister, the cynic.
Simple
Today I just want to be an easy, simple, content spouse and mother.
I don’t want to think critically, I want to accept everything for face value.
Today I am willing to live simply, sans fireworks.

Your alter ego is Julian. You’re basically a good guy, though you have your weaknesses. You’re not above using sex as a commodity, but you might also be the only one here to fall in love. When you get in over your head (which you often do) you eventually get yourself out. Well, most of the...

Damn it I have missed writing on here. Multi-tasking is not my forte, tunnel vision is, but man, I’m having to learn to take on tasks by the dozen.
My daughter, for the first time in her 7 months here, came down with a brief illness. Most humans are prepared for this, I was not. Oh Jesus, I wish you all could have seen me in my best of hysteric fits throughout the last week or more. I was...
