Dirty Secret Saturday

My dirty little secret...

Many people don't know a whole lot about my ex-husband and that he has a son who is 5 years younger than myself.

And that he had been in jail several times during our marriage.

And that he has had warrants out for his arrest during our marriage.

And that I divorced him while we was in jail the third time during our marriage.

 

My Blog

This may not be anything impressive, but I guess I am amazed at how far I have come.

I started this blog, as a trial, in October 2006. It has now been over 5 years and I have posted over 350 posts. Many of which have been in the past year or so, when I decided to use this as a tool to meet people and share.

Thanks to all my followers and those who visit and comment.

I love you all!

Happy Wednesday

I'm sure this is a silly post, but after the time it took to decide on my "new look" yesterday, I came back to visit it today... and I think it is soooooo coooool! :)

I love the colors and think I did a good job (*pat* *pat*).

Hehe... Happy Wednesday!!!!

My new look

Felt like it was time for a change...

Hope you like it.

I think it's a little catchier than it was before.

Thank you to all my followers.

Mama Kat's Prompt - Tell us about something you punched.

Yes, this is kind of a risque prompt, but it's my past, my history, so I guess I might as well face it.

When I was in high school, my depression and anxiety has control over me. At that time, I did not have the treatment in place to deal with my "issues".

I had a situation where I got very upset and very frustrated. I remember, very vividly, when I punched the stone wall outside of the commons at a high school dance. I was upset, yet I don't remember what happened, or why. All I know is that my right hand is messed up, my knuckles beaten and bruised, with much arthritis to follow.

I did it, I punched a stone wall, I messed up my hand, I will suffer daily, as the weather changes, or as my body gets older.

It was stupid and I won't do it again... wish I hadn't done it in the first place...

This blog is honesty, truth

I started this blog as a sort-of on-line journal.

I write these posts out of honesty. I want to discuss real topics and express real feelings.

My followers are important and I want everyone to know that I want to be able to identify with others.

I discuss weight, my son, work, stress, disorders, etc. I want to be able to touch people with what I write and reach them.

Thank you for following.

RemembeRED: Cleaning House

It was December 2001 and that was when I started to "clean house".

J was in jail, sitting on warrants out for his arrest, for unpaid support.

This was the third time. I couldn't afford to keep bailing him out, especially when we was running from the law (all of which I didn't know until AFTER the wedding!).

I got pissed. I was upset. I was angry. I cried. I screamed. I hated him. I was mad at what he did to me. I was mad for what he did to our family. I was hurt. I started packing boxes, filling then with everything that belonged to him. I piled everything in the back of his van. In the boxes, just to be mean (kinda), I threw in a couple of our wedding invitations, just for the "turning the knife" factor.

I then spoke with the attorney on New Year's Eve, signed on the lines, and they served him the papers while he sat in jail. I had my doubts, I had my fears, I didn't trust him, but his van was packed, his stuff was out of my house, and the keys were in the vehicle, waiting for him to drive away.

The last day & a half

Okay, so I have wanted to do blog updates and bring over my "other" blogs from a different platform. I have not been up to it. I have been busy with work and school. By the time I get home, I am wiped!!

Since yesterday morning, I have done more on my blogs in a day and a half than in the past 2 weeks. The best laid plans always take forever to accomplish. And, for me... with my lack of spare time... the word "forever" is probably pretty literal!

But I've done it - I have made progress! I am so excited...

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving... and didn't spend too much money on Black Friday.

Something to call my own

I am a mom and I work hard. I don't take time for myself and don't do anything for me. Writing is my outlet, writing is my escape, my expression. I created my blog to keep me sane. I write for me and write about me. It is something for me. This is my time, to empty my mind, and express myself.

It's all about me!

Can you believe?

I started this blog back in 2006. It has been so long. It hasn't been until recently that I have actually gotten more info blogging, but it's fun, I have meet new people, and I have found there are a lot of us out in this world that are very similar.

I am SUCH a dork!

This whole situation for finally getting my badge made (& working) has left me incredibly happy.

The small things in life make me happy. Yup, I'm a DORK!

OMG!!! I am sooooo flippin' happy!

Can you believe it?
After, like, 2 years of fighting with these stupid blog badges...
I FINALLY got mine to work! Check it dudes!!!! AWESOME!!!

I have body image issues.
Chocolate is not my comfort food.
