Everythings not about my boobs anymore.

Oh hai!

Um. I forgot I had a blog. It’ll never happen again. So ANYWAY.

Here, I’ll catch you up:

There was Halloween.

Bella & Veronica/Zombie Cheerleader & Cheeta Cat

Trevor & Billy/The Hobos

Jack/The Baby in Halloween Jammies

And then everyone in the house got disgustingly sick.

But Jack was the only one nice enough to let . . . → Read More: Everythings not about my boobs anymore.

Crazy can’t save you from cancer.

There was no end to the excuses I would let my grandmother get away with. I would nod when she told me stories, nod when she got them backwards, nod when she called me by my mothers’ name.

I believed everything she said – every time she spoke, because she was an anomaly to me. She was . . . → Read More: Crazy can’t save you from cancer.

The incredible exploding family

So, we took Billy to the airport last week to send him off to his father for the yearly summer visit. After fighting with the ex all year over the visitation schedule, decision making authorities and who pays for what, it was a trip we weren’t sure he would be making.

Dear kid..

Billy-

We’ve been doing this for 12 years – can you believe it? You and me kid - we started this story 12 years ago today.

Thank you for being my rock and my strength and my soul. I would have never made it without you. Happy Birthday, baby.

Bring it on.

I am not sure I have ever voiced this – but the beginnings have always terrified me; endings, not so much.

Obviously, the only way to avoid an ending is to avoid the beginnings.. thus my . . . → Read More: Bring it on.
