#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?

I did it!

Remember last year when I went on and on about why I couldn't finish any of my books that I had started? When I had a plan to write so many words per day to finish my book, and how I had figured out what I was missing? Well, its done. I finished it. 192,327 words. I did it. And I'm not sharing it with you. at all. I worked on it for months making it about someone else, but the story, my story, was so painful and it left me raw and angry and dark; I simply couldn't pretend it was someone else's story. So, you know what I did? I wrote honestly. I used the real names and literal events. I wrote down every single thing, regardless of who did what to whom, regardless of whose fault things were and I got it all out. 192,327 words of it. It was the most cathartic experience of my life and it took me so much longer than I thought it would. Sometimes I would write for hours, and it left me so drained I'd have to leave it for weeks, re-healing wounds, putting it all...

TWENTYEIGHTEEN Y'ALL GUYS!

Y'all. How has another year already gone by? And seriously, has it really been almost five months since I blogged last? What the actual F?!? Where did 2017 go? I wasn't done kicking ass and taking names yet... honestly though, I'm not even a little sad its over. I got a whole new freaking year to kill it. Right? I'm pretty sure I have hit those years that my parents used to talk about 'time flying'. SLOW DOWN. Or, you know, speed the hell up, like, get me right to retirement, I'm moving to Honduras! jaykay, jaykay. I am loving all the kids, and soaking up all the memories. I know. It only happens once. all that. So many of my high school friends/acquaintances have either just had their last baby, or are about to. And I'll be honest, I'm super jealous. There have been tears. Many. And I don't even like to cry. But then, I start doing some simple math, and I'm like, I will not even be 45 yet when my youngest graduate high school... y'all ...

#allthethangs

Near the end of 2016, one night while Stephen and I were lying in bed, I told him, "2017 is going to be our year. I can feel it. I know it. We are going to have all tha thangs," and then last night, he reminded me of this and *GASP* told me I was right! This year has been wild, but this summer has been bountifully, overwhelmingly perfect. Obviously, you know we closed on our home, which was hitting the biggest goal we have had for the last (almost) four years. We also bought a new vehicle, which we desperately needed, but were holding out until after we closed on our home, you know, 'just in case'. There is something else  that we have been wishing/hoping/praying for since I've known Stephen, and it has finally come to fruition. She's here y'all, and not just for her required 42 days this summer. She's here. She is going to school here, I just dropped her off for her first day this morning. She is making friends, learning to drive, and buildi...
