I am witty, sarcastic, I go with the flow and try to enjoy life.

a mom with MS, raising millenials...
When we were kids, we were raised to be independent thinkers who would later grow up and raise their own. We sucked it up buttercup cause we didn't have the catered mindset. Band aids were for boo boos when we were still in the single digits, ice packs were an instant go to when anything hurt, fresh air, sunlight, and being outside until the street lights came on were our vitamins. And we survived! Now though, for any household with a millenial, tylenol is a staple, and these kids think that they are entitled to all that is out there before they ever consider having a job.

welcome to my silly life
Growing up I always had this ideal image in my head of what a family is, and isn't, the woman I thought I needed to be, as a wife, and a mom. I knew without a doubt what I did not want to become. I knew what kind of mother I would never be. I was adopted, and between the stories I have heard and the legal papers I have read, I have to take peace in that everything happens for a reason. As a teenager, my (adoptive) sister and I saw our mom struggle with life. Not in the sense of bad around every single corner, but literally life. Repeatedly, my sister and I would have to go to the store for bandages and gauze from another failed attempt of suicide. 17 attempts until the day I moved in with my grandparents because I refused to keep living in the nightmare. That was the first day of my senior year in high school.
