My spouse is considerate and kind. Always checking in on my emotional state. Maybe it is because I teeter on the edge of insanity or, perhaps, my mind wanders aimlessly without supervision. Probably both. On Tuesday, that felt like a Monday - this is common after a...

I had two revelations yesterday. One, don't agree to anything proposed by my husband and oldest son. Two, never wear my glasses in the house. Yesterday, our local college football team was playing the #9 ranked team in the nation. I am life-long fan of this local team...

About a month ago, my spouse did the cutest thing. I don't remember the context, but he was annoyed at us for something, and he forcefully informed us that he was the Mother F...... man of the house. (Insert the F word that rhymes with "trucking" because God forbid I...

I was living off a high when alerted that my manuscript was actually readable and the offer to help me improve the quality was left on the table. Then death came knocking on our door and I have lost the momentum. I would describe myself as incredibly unmotivated. For...
