Those of you who have known me for several years know that I have shared some of my struggles of having too much stuff. You also know that I have read books on organization, getting rid of, and every other thing that you...

ElusiveButterfly I am still sorting through old clothes we no longer wear. Housewares that I no longer use have been donated to people in need. Toys are hidden in boxes that sit high enough for Little Miss not to be able to get into. Those will be given to a charity that...

Tonight, I made a huge pot of gumbo with things I had on-hand. I don't know why I feel it necessary to cook in such large amounts. I used what I had on-hand: Six chicken legs (I paid only 60 cents for all that chicken); three...

ElusiveButterfly I always cook on a big scale. It’s been extremely difficult to cook for just me and Little Miss. Needless to say, I don’t cook things that I know won’t get eaten in a day or two. I made a casserole dish full of baked rotini with meat sauce topped with...

I really try to hold in my anger and most of the time I can do it. Sometimes I get pushed a little bit too much and I snap. Lately it seems that I really can't control my mouth. Sorry, not sorry. You push me and I will push...

You may (or not) have noticed my lack of participation here. I've been feeling rather sluggish, but the sun is shining this morning so I just may get around to doing the dishes, tidying up and getting dressed. Whether I get...

ElusiveButterfly The past is the past. I can no longer remember much about the psycho I was married to. It was a huge mistake and I am happy it is behind me. Even so there are times when the pain he caused slaps me in the face. I loathe this person so much.

ElusiveButterfly Little Miss still bugs us to get a dog. As I’ve mentioned to you a time or two, we cannot have one where we live. Not really sure I have the energy to deal with training a pooch and caring for a sassy 6 year old too!
