#Winning

So, here we are, just about a week later... guess what....I'M STILL WRITING!!
I have hit my goal for the week and then some, so apparently, I am finally writing what I should have been writing long ago. And you know what else? I think I have a trilogy on my hands. Yep. Pretty sure I have three books in my head, pouring out into a word document.

I don't know if I'll ever get published, or if I will ever share my entire books, but I have also come to realize that I am doing this for me. It is cathartic, and I have so needed to be writing about the right things.

I still have random thoughts, and things I want to blurt out, which I plan to share right here. I'm currently working on posts about compassion, liberals, stepmothers, and a trailer park, just to keep things interesting around here! I'd really like to transition this blog to focus on our blended family, but we shall see if I really get there or not :)

 I've got about 750 things to do, so I had better get back to it! #750wordsperday

Here's a little something for your #HUMPDAY! #Book1 #ElleChane

                        I lather the shampoo into my hair and begin to massage my scalp, now allowing my mind to wander deeper, into the more shameful memories that have transpired since that time. The things that my soul cries out to share, but I can’t. I have to keep the secrets. If I could, what would I share? Who would I share it with? Could I stand on a podium and speak to hundreds, or thousands? Could I be an advocate for those who are as terrified as I was? How could I stop being part of the problem by pretending it  never happened and instead, be part of a solution?

When you just can't even...

So, I am typically a person who is completely and utterly against putting any size, shape or sort of dirty laundry on social media, which is why many people didn't even know when I was going through a divorce. I'm making an exception today, because frankly, I just can't even. I'm so bewildered, flabbergasted, confused, taken aback (insert EVERY synonym for any of these terms here) at a situation that took place today, so much so, that I JUST CAN'T EVEN. CAN'T. Do you ever have those days where everything goes wrong, or just seems so ridiculous that you are certain that at some point you are going to run into a wall that is painted to look like the sky because you know that you absolutely have to be on something like the Truman Show where everything is happening for someone else's entertainment? No, just me? Huh. Well, the last few months, I keep waiting for someone to jump out and shout "Smile! You're on Candid Camera!" It hasn't happened...

To the Man I Never Met

I think we would have been good friends, you and I. I would have enjoyed giving you hell about 'America's Team' and Tony Romo, even though your son has taught me to love and respect them. We would have watched football games, drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. I'm sure you would have teased me about being so uptight and anxious about the kids running around the house before dinners, cookouts, or during games. I wish I had gotten the chance to know you, Gary Sugar. In the last two years I have learned so many amazing facts about you. Most importantly, you were victorious. You were brave, courageous, selfless and stubborn. You raised two incredible men. “Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.”  ―  Shannon L. Alder You are missed. deeply. It's hard for me to even consider publishing those words, because I know that they don't even begin to convey the depth that you are l...

What is a Birth Story?

Honestly, I have no idea. When I learned I was expecting, I downloaded the What To Expect app on my iPhone. Immediately I was connected with a TON of other moms expecting in the same month my babies were due. We had a fantastic, drama filled pregnancy journey, however; that in itself is it's own story. After most momma's gave birth, they posted a 'Birth Story' thread in our forum. These consisted mostly of the events that occurred from the first contraction until baby was in her arms. They were all beautiful. Some were considerably different from how the momma had planned her delivery, and some fit momma's plans exactly. More often than not, there was at least one disappointment in how things went down. I had twins. C-section. Not at all how I'd hoped, so I never shared mine. I feel like its a bit boring, but when you know the whole shebang, it's beautiful. I'm going to begin to share it with you tonight. Thursday, December 03, 2009 (yep, I'm...
