I feel so defeated tonight

Today is one of those days where I feel like I’ve crumbled under the weight of everything going on in my life. It’s been one of those days where I feel utterly defeated and pretty much a failure. The kids have been struggling this weekend and I’ve not been able to make it better. I’m …

A long overdue, deeply personal update

It’s a big day for my kids

The boys are leaving to spend a couple days with their mom. It’s been a couple months since they’ve been able to have actual, physical contact, due to COVID. In fact, they’ve only been able to visit two times since the March 5th, this being the third. It’s been hard on everyone but Lizze and …
