Hi there. It’s been a while, I know, and I apologize for that. A lot’s happened. I think I needed some time to step back, reflect, make some adjustments before jumping back up on that blogging horse. So with that, why do I have baby fever? Like, bad, y’all. Bee Ay Dee.

Dear Mom,
Today’s a tough day for me. If you were here, you wouldn’t believe what just happened. Never in my life did I think I’d have someone like Barack Obama leading this country. I know we have it good here, mama, better than people in a lot of other places, but it’s been tough lately. [...]

I’m exhausted. Honestly. I’m so freaking tired, I can’t stand it. This week has been a doozy. Knowing that in 48 hours, I’m gonna sit Daddio down and tell him, what’s been on my mind and in my heart for 35 years really takes an emotional toll. I’m looking forward to getting this out and [...]

I used to be a bit of a prude– complete puritan, a friend said.  He was probably right. But I seem to have gone through a bit of a transformation the last eighteen months or so.  I got my head screwed on straight. I came out of my shell. I’d been in a depression for [...]
