My story.
Dear Emmie, It’s very hard to be young and pregnant. You are at a difficult point in your life facing tough decisions. I will not presume to know what’s best for you – so I’ll just tell you my story. I was 18 and terrified and knew absolutely nothing about being a grown-up, much less a Mom. I am now a very proud mother to a very wonderful 14-year old who I often declare is my best friend. But it wasn’t easy. I entered into a marriage with the father... Read More
My Own Stress As A Working Mom
Edited to add: Recently this entry was linked to as saying that I think some Moms have it harder than others. PLEASE READ THIS ENTRY.

What’s Wrong With The Bandwagon?

Why Write Thought Provoking Posts When You Can Just Do Bullets?

Unfortunately, every time I sit down at the laptop I feel tired and unable to type more than 4 sentences of coherent thought. This means tonight? You’re getting bullets. Finally finished James Dashner’s latest book in the 13th reality series: The Hunt for Dark... Read More
Beyond The Scope Of A Morning Person
Wow. Is it Monday already? I’m finding it very difficult to maintain a healthy level of sanity this last week or two. The major reason for this casual level of kookiness is that my son, the little one, has adopted an new sleep schedule. What I thought was just a day or two worth of torture, I’ve finally accepted is just his new lifestyle. It’s called “Up by 5am.” I’ve heard this behavior warrants jailtime in some society, and I’m considering... Read More
