I haven’t brushed my hair today.
Shit, I don’t think I have even brushed my teeth.
Food?  Meh.
I started getting ready for work when the wave hit me.  Grief, nausea, hatred, anger, sadness.
All at once it slammed into my chest and my brain shattered into a million pieces.
I spent almost 10 minutes looking for Boos school pants […]

At peace.

I have only seen my father cry twice in my life.
The first time was after the traumatic birth of Moo.
The other was today…
~~~~~~~~
I was awoken this morning by the phone ringing.  Boo laying beside me, my eyes flew open, confused at the sound, at the dark.
The phone rang out as I got to it.  It […]

Empty

We had moved to a new town.
Packed everything we owned to chase a dream of fame and fortune in a desolate area surrounded by dried up lakes that once were tourist attractions.  Huge mountains that people came from far and wide to camp and climb.
Head office.  Amoungst the farmland.  Hours away from anything.
Within days of […]

another serious post?

Yeah, am I losing my mojo?
My vibe. My snark.
Maybe.
Do I feel a sense of community here in the Blogosphere?
A family.
You bet.
Today is April Fools Day. Jokes and pranks abound.
You would think the Queen of tormenting her children, and fucking with her co-workers would be all over this. The best day of the […]

She is gone.

 
She is gone.

You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
or you can be full of […]

She is in a coma….

the doctors don’t believe she will regain consciousness.
They are the only words I remember from the phone call.
She is in a coma.
My grandmother. Months of pain, in and out of hospital with falls and medication overdoses, it is for the best.  She is no longer in pain.  She is peaceful.
She is in a coma.
But yesterday […]

what do you see?

What do you see, really see when you see a family with an obviously disabled child?
What do you see?
It has been a hard week. A week of tears. Of frustration. A week of unbelievable lows, rising to bearable, then crashing down. Lower, deeper, dirtier than I care to be.
A hard week. Thankfully […]

This post brought to you from the rocking corner.

I am surrounded by empty chocolate wrappers and have worn a dint in the carpet from the rocking.
But man, that rockin’ is great for the abs.
Cradling a glass of Mint Baileys with tons of ice, the air con blowing in my face.
Drying the tears, leaving mascara trails down my face.  I look like Alice Cooper.
And […]
