It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
It’s Thursday, December 30th. Two days left in this shit-show year. All signs point to 2020 and 2021 being the ramp up or trial run for whatever is coming in 2022, but I’m choosing to just try and focus on the here and now. Easier said than done, amiright? It doesn’t help that two separate…

Bitches About to get Stitches
Not really, I hate confrontation, but I sure do talk a mad game. I’ve never been in a physical altercation, I prefer evisceration by verbiage as my form of attack, and again, as a last resort because I hate confrontation.

Step-parenting a Narcissists Kid
I know everyone thinks their ex is a narcissist or at least has narcissistic tendencies, but I would bet money on D’s ex being a narc and possibly even bipolar. Coming from a family of bipolar-schizos, I can spot em a mile away. That and being empathic usually helps sort out the shit humans pretty…

Lie-abetes… It’s a Thing.
When is “enough” actually enough? How much of a paper trail or examples of poor parenting does one need before it’s considered enough to bother a lawyer about? I’m referring to the HCBM (high conflict baby mama) of course. This diabetic journey with our 8 year old has been a whirlwind. Research, doctors visits, more…

Thrive and Shine, Bitches
If you’ve been anywhere but under a rock the past decade or so, no doubt you’ve been inundated with requests from friends and family to *try* their great new product, vitamin, supplement, workout, nail sticker, clothing line, right? Me too. Multi-level Marketing at it’s finest. MLM for short. I’ve nearly fallen into the trap a…

Relationships & Diabetes Can Suck My Dick.
I feel like I’m hungover today. Emotionally and mentally drained after yesterday and last night. Dinner with his folks was okay, but kiddo’s blood sugar numbers were through the roof all night long so we were up every hour or so to check on her. Her Dexcom wasn’t reading correctly – apparently the “200+” reading…

Organized Chaos is Cute, Right?
Today has been a fucked sort of day. Didn’t necessarily start off that way, but 6+ inches of snow and one very exhausted D later? Yeah… sure was fun. *insert eye roll here* Apparently we’re fighting over dishes. And the fact that I worked from home today. While he was out slaving away with the…

Be Nice Until It’s Time Not To Be Nice
Best line from Road House because it’s so fucking true. I’d like to think of myself as a generally level-headed, easy going gal. I love my life and the people in it. Sure, more money and more free time would be nice, but I’m not dying without it. I’m content with our little family unit…

A Spoon Full of Insulin Helps the Sugar Go Down
This past Summer, my beautiful, smart, sassy future step-daughter was diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic at 8 years old. I had mentioned this in a previous post and talked about dealing with her mother more frequently. The past 7 months have certainly been interesting, navigating not only lack of co-parenting, but with her mother’s…
