I just threw a temper tantrum…
44 days down, 321 to go! Dear Self, You need to just chill out. And you need to remember why you started blogging in the first place. To have a place to go to for support. To keep yourself accountable, and on task. You didn’t start blogging to become a popular writer. What you write […]
The Root of my Yelling
43 days down, 322 to go! Dear College Ruled Yellow Paper, I would be lost without you. I need you like I need water. You keep me going because you free me. You free me of all the thoughts which are bogging me down and stressing me out. You give me clarity. So thank you. […]

Ode to Bed Time
35 days down, 335 to go! Dear Bed Time, Oh how you can annoy me so. I know I am supposed to love you and cherish you, but sometimes I do not. I just want the kids to wash up, brush their teeth, and then curl up in their cots. Please don’t get me wrong. […]
Cantaloupe I will be.
34 days down, 331 to go! Dear Day 34, I am embarrassed to report that you almost won because of cantaloupe. Cantaloupe people. I almost yelled because of cantaloupe.
