When did I get here?

54 years old and done raising kids (for the most part) watching tv in bed with my husband... at 7:30 in the evening!  Dozing off  just trying to wait for the 10 o'clock news!  WTHeck happened?!? 

Cleaning

We got all the Christmas stuff packed away.  It took most of the day and I even took a picture of my house as it sat in shambles with pieces of Christmas all torn apart around it.  There was so happiness or joy in the process, no singing or watching a corney hallmark movie.  It was pure hell! Lol  every year i wonder why i put so much out to start with and then come the next November, I can’t wait to get it all back out again!  It’s like motherhood amnesia!!   As an added bonus ... this year, Dennis wanted ya to organize and clean out all the tubs..... not just the ones labeled “Christmas”.  So 

What's in a name anyway?

I haven't been called Rinkydink in over 8 years.  That was the name my dad use to call me.  But what’s in a name?  Something I’ve been called all your life, a term of endearment that no one else called you but you know it’s the very essence of who you are...

... or who you use to be.

It’s sad that we only appreciate such things when we have no idea it won’t last forever.  For me, I was called that for 46 years.  It's weird to know I exist in a world that he is no longer a part of.  But to remember the name I was once called with love and affection means more to me then he would have ever guessed.

Are you Serious?

I am absolutely floored by the audacity of people who quit a job without a notice... any job...  and then ASK FOR FAVORS! 

Stop it! 
Move on!
You're not my problem anymore and your problems are not my problems! 
I'm not your bank, your momma or the fixer of all things! 

WTF are you thinking!?!? 

If you find yourself in a sticky spot because you have no money... it's called KARMA BITCH!
