Last year I fled an abusive home with nothing and ended up at a shelter for abused women and children. I met an incredible group of supportive women there. This holiday, please consider donating to a shelter, you never know the difference it can make. Every bit matters.
Turning 40 on Monday...hits harder...my 2 siblings didn't make it past their 30s...I'm taking an extended vacation...3 weeks to breathe...gift to myself.
Not gonna sugar coat it...I ordered more face masks. The hospital doctor looked me square in the eye yesterday and told me to expect a harsh winter, the viruses aren't going away and listed the ones that are currently running rampant. So yeah - mask up, keep your germs.

If you are seeing someone...and they are constantly harping on their ex...is that a clear indication they aren't over that person? I feel like it is...
I recently teased about having some big big news. Today, I was officially offered a Financial Analyst position at work, and while I still need to sign a contract, I accepted. Super excited to start this new chapter!
I chatted briefly with a guy on Facebook dating today...who..."wished me luck with my fishing" after I told him I hadn't seriosuly dated in x# years. I then told him he wasn't a good catch and had to be thrown back anyway. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
I don't want to read some PR-written tweet in my "For You" section from some "verified" account. I want to read the real, the random, thoughtful, and entertaining tweets from the average person who doesn't care about paying for followers.
Today I found out my mother...who is in her 70s...had a second mini stroke. She's ok and waiting to see specialists. What is not ok is that she didn't go to the hospital because she didn't want to have to wait around for hours for care like the last time. This is not ok Ontario.
Sunday morning brought to you by Mr 4...who told me to "sit and Be-lax and he will do everything"...so far he's taken my phone and taken awesome pictures.
Just got a complaint that all I post on social media is about my kids, food, and narcissistic men...what's that thing called? Hmmm...oh yeah "unfollow" button...use it. I ain't changing.
Mr. 4 had a rough day at school/daycare today. At pickup, I was told he cried a lot today and wanted his Momma. ๐ข Making him hot chocolate with marshmallows, Kraft dinner, and hotdogs for dinner to cheer him up.
Yesterday I cooked Thanksgiving dinner, took care of 6 kids, took out the trash, and managed to shower. If that doesn't show I don't need a man around, I don't know what would.
Turning 40 in September...and my back has now told me to fuck off. This is it...this is the top of the hill and it's all down from here. Order the pink roses for my funeral now.
Adventures in Dating For The Single/Almost 40yo: Part One:
An ex bf recently asked me out...for "an evening of no expectations"...wtf is that and what does that mean?!
In what day and age is it normal to be told...in a work environment...that I need to smile and be nice to the sales men...make their jobs easier...and also beg for annual raises...? Wtf decade have I walked into?
Can we please bring back fashions from the past...and a care to look nice? I've had a second guy tell me recently I was dressed up/over dressed...I was wearing rolled jeans and a knit top!
