My Bridget Jones Moment

I can't believe I'm sharing this! I'm driving home. It's raining out. The sky is gray. I pull up to the stop sign and can't see the on coming cars through the wet glass, so I roll down my window and stick my head out. A red truck whizzes by, going very very fast. He hits a foot deep puddle. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Somedays I just want to put my head in the toilet and flush.

Today is one of those days. ~Seriously~ My mom got the report back from my brother's autopsy. The report is long, there is so much medical jargon, and my mother has a thick Greek accent. Before I go on, you must know this: I didn't do well in Chemistry or Biology. I don't speak Greek. I never took... Sign in to see full entry.

My pet rat is trying to outsmart me.

His brain might be bigger. Beware this is a post about my unruly animal kingdom. May not be suitable for non-animal lovers eyes. I bought a litter box for my rat Nicodemus. He insists on laying in his own pee. I don't get it. It's like he prefers to stink. Mmm..pee smell....goes great with a little... Sign in to see full entry.

How Do I Know?

So Many Questions. Did it ever occur to them that I don't know the answers? By "them" I mean my family. It goes something like this. Why did he have to die? It was his time. Why was it his time? He had so much to live for. He did what he came to do. What's that? Suffer? Live in pain? Die in pain? He... Sign in to see full entry.
