Patience and Parenting.

From April 15, 2018.

Having babies and a family comes easy for most. Maintaining the sanity and composure once you build that family unit is the difficult part. Letting others in to the once easy life. Makes you check your sanity, rips at your heart strings, and damages your soul. Why do they hate you so much? Why can't the home feel like home? Why when you leave are you comfortable not coming back? Why does it play with your emotions so much to just want to walk away from everything you have worked so hard for, but suddenly don't care about?

Sometimes you get to the point where you say fuck it and walk away. I am there.

Being Professional in an Unprofessional World

Originally Written 10-8-2017  We all need to feel safe. Work, home, society. Sandra Bloom (2015) discusses the different types of Safety. Moral, Social, Emotional, and Physical. At home most of us can control the safety.  Locking doors and windows. Owning a gun. Or a really heavy baseball bat. We can control who we let in our house. We can control the atmosphere and rid it of negativity. I mean wearing pants is usually optional! And at home our morals are usually steadfast. At work the types of safety are questionable. Physically it is easy No one can throw a punch (well they could but not a good a good idea). No one will want to risk their paycheck for sexual harassment or violence. Emotionally it an be tough. As a manager/supervisor every day can be a challenge when dealing with others.  Especially others that you supervise and basically tell them what to do.  You not only have to keep your own emotions; sometimes good, bad, violent, I want to throat punch you thoughts;

Tattoo Thoughts

With 2 more tattoos under my belt people have started asking why I keep getting them and if they have meaning. Of course they have meaning. Why would anyone put something so permanent on their body that wasn’t meaningful?  I know there are people that do that (I saw it happen in the tattoo shop when I was there) but why. So I decided it was time to tell the world what they all mean. #1 - In 2009 was when I met my now husband. We were never trying for a baby, but never preventing it either and had decided mutually that if it happened it was meant to be. In August of 2009 my son Grant and I flew to Wyoming for a week to see a cousin and her partner that I hadn’t seen in a very long time. I found out I was pregnant the day before we left.  I didn’t tell anyone, because it was very early. We flew out the next morning and 2 days later I miscarried. Tattoo #1 happened a few weeks later. #2 - Later in 2009 another miscarriage. Tattoo #2 happened. #3 - Fast forward to 2016 I had be

Does Anger Have a Purpose?

Does Anger Have a Purpose? Maybe having so much anger built up inside is a protective mechanism to make sure no more hurt happens. That the people, places, and things that can be the most hurtful or suck the air out of you because that is a go to reaction. Don't breathe. Don't react. Maybe I won't have to react. Change the subject and act tough. No more hurt. I think my whole life no one wanted to make my story great. I never had any “you will never believe this, I can't make this shit up” moments.  Or I blocked them out because they were too painful. Now as an adult the book could be written about those moments. While I don't think they are intentional, I am struggling with reality. Where do those moments fit when you are not motivated to talk about them? Or motivated to do anything. Functioning yes. The outside shows no signs of the inside struggles. The anger and a lot of sadness now comes from fitting in.  Why must we all feel that we should fit in whe
