...Just saying. When I first moved in with The Doc, his sons, ages 6 and 8, played hockey. A lot of hockey.

The bitch had been known to lose it at times. People thought she was crazy. Absolutely nuts and out of control. People who didn't understand her struggles with over-the-top hormone imbalances, low self esteem and an inability to manage stress. They did not know that her biggest battle was often with herself. This was before she … Continue reading The Crazy Bitch’s Guide To Sanity
Outside is where I want to be this time of year. Especially after a long winter and sometimes damp spring when we are indoors for what seems like forever.
