The funeral was yesterday

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 15 Aug

Yesterday was the day. The day we put a family friend in the ground, way too soon. This one has hurt probably more than most of the other funerals I've been to. I think it's because she was so young and she was leaving behind her...

My dad

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 14 Aug

Talking about Cary Grant got me thinking about my own childhood trauma. I want to preface this by saying I had an amazing childhood with loving parents, but just like anyone else, my parents were flawed. I feel like you can't...

Cary Grant/Archie

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 14 Aug

I recently watched Archie, Cary Grant's limited biographical series. It was four episodes and described who Archibald Leach was, which is who the real Cary Grant was. I have the books his ex-wife and daughter wrote on hold at the...

People grieve differently

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 12 Aug

After the news of my friend's sister, a lot of the people I know, myself and husband included, are all grieving and I have to say everyone grieves differently. I debated making some profound post about her, but I don't feel like...

My best friend's sister died

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 8 Aug

Last night I learned of the death of my best friend's sister. It hits hard. They believe it was suicide, and I don't have many details beyond that, nor would I ask. The thing about suicide is you seldom see it coming. They seem...

My vocational high school

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 17 Jul

When I was in high school, I decided to go to a vocational high school. This school was an old military base (or so I heard) and it was an interesting school. There are all kinds of stories about that place. They have since...

Almost everyone had that one older teacher

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 17 Jul

I think everyone had that one teacher who was old when they had them, and thirty years later is still teaching or at least taught for several years after you left. That teacher who had all of the stories about back in the day when...

Cary Grant

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 19 Jun

There has always been something about Cary Grant that has me entranced. He's not a comedian but he has amazing comedic timing. I love watching him do slapstick. The thing about Cary Grant is he is the one actor who never changed...

My dad's family took advantage of him

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 17 Jun

My dad has always told me the story about how his parents moved in with him without notice. My dad always struggled to get along with his family because they were a rough group that always expected things from him. My dad worked...

My step nephew

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 11 Jun

I want to preface this post by saying as someone who works with children and a lot of low income kids who don't have the best lives and deal with a lot of neglect, I understand that there is usually a reason why children act the...

History is amazing

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 11 Jun

There's something about history that always just draws me in. I love looking at old photos of people who died long ago or maybe not quite as long ago as we thought. We often think 100 years is a long time when in reality it isn't....

My son is a lot like me personality wise

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 11 Jun

There are days when I realize my son is a lot more like me than I originally thought. For some backstory, I am a fairly quiet individual in person, which is probably why I write so much. I spend a lot of time in my head and don't...

Field trips aren't a perk of my job they're just stressful

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 7 Jun

Something I often hear about my job as a paraprofessional at an elementary school is that it must be a perk to go on field trips. I can assure you I do not enjoy field trips. I'd almost rather spend the day at school. Field trips...

My son has learned to love food

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 5 Jun

As I mentioned previously my son was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder which made some things very difficult when he was little. Dinner time has often been a struggle with him because he was a picky eater and he would...

Trying to make sure my son doesn't feel the way I did growing up

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 5 Jun

If there's one thing I always try to do with my son it's respect his feelings which can be difficult at times. My son was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder in second grade. He used to overreact to some situations and I...

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 5 Jun

The more I cook at home now that I have time the more I realize the way my brain works is very different from my husband's. My husband is a better cook in that he's better with his process and knows how to do more than I do as far...

Dull day/my kid

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 5 Jun

Today has been kind of a dull day. It is super hot here and we don't currently have any air conditioners put in (we don't have central air) and our newer cat who we found out is part Bengal thanks to his very unique meow is an...

Has there ever been a movie with an actor/actress you normally don't like but love them in a certain movie/movies? Or has there ever been an actor you didn't like until you saw them in a certain movie and then you loved them after...

Warren G Harding

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12479) • United States 31 May

Today I went to the Warren G Harding Home and Museum in Marion Ohio. It was such an interesting place to check out. It's the third presidential site I've been to. I've been to the Rutheford B. Hayes home and museum in Fremont Ohio...
