Been a while...

...Since I wrote here. I've been busy keeping my life put together. It hasn't been easy but Scott and the kids and I are doing well. Trying hard to keep our heads afloat, but things are falling into place as they should be. I've been really sick since last Wednesday, but other than that I am good. Will write more later.

Jackson Hewitt is NOT the place to go to get your taxes done anymore

So I went to Jackson Hewitt to get my taxes done because they have always been good to me. Well this year they switched banks so they no longer do instant refunds or next day, you HAVE to wait 72 hours, or so I was told. Well it has been 97 hours since my taxes were done and they are now telling me that Saturday and Sunday do NOT count as days anymore. Really? SO, now I HAVE to wait till tomorrow. I was completely IRATE so I was glad to tell the several people waiting to do their taxes to go to Check City or H&R Block to do their taxes where they will get their money back when they are told that they will. The Jack (that's what I call people who are jack a$$e$ to me) in the office then decides to yell at me about how wrong it was for me to cause them to lose several customers. I told them it was wrong of them to lie to me and tell me 72 hours when it is going to take 120 hours. If my money is not there tomorrow, I will be sitting outside their offices till I have to go to schoo...

Something to cry about... Mother's Day

Mother's Day is just a few short days away, and while I am a mother, I have no real mother myself. The woman who gave birth to me 31 years ago come June 25th, died three years ago from Cancer. The woman I called "Mom" until I looked at our relationship 6 months ago, has no contact with me. I have no mother. But I grew up without one despite having two. My birth mother was never a true mother to me. I was the unwanted product of a rape. The woman I called mom, well she really only did it out of a sense of duty to my birth mother. I was reading my brother's blog and he talks about the sadness of the day my birth mother died. Both he and my sisters were there. Supposedly when she died three years ago, they all became orphans? I didn't know that even if you're an adult you could become an orphan. I'm 31 in June and I am the baby of the family. I grew up as an O.W.P. (Orphan with Parents) because neither of my parents were really there for me. I always defended...

Heroine... or Villainess... Chelsea Manning

I read the entirety of Chelsea Manning's Wikipedia page  and I don't know whether or not I can decide if she is the heroine, or villainess of her story. Manning had a hard life for sure, two alcoholic parents, being born in the wrong body, suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome, the list goes on. I think a lot of her issues stemmed from feeling like she couldn't be who she was, and while in the Army, being forced to be something she wasn't. Being bullied because some men felt so threatened in their own masculinity, that they couldn't let her be who she was. Toxic masculinity at it's finest folks. But, we as Americans deserve to know what is going on within our own country, and what our government is doing in these wars drummed up by people who themselves refuse to (or fake bone spurs to get out of) serve/ing in. I mean, after all, it is OUR money that pays for these wars, so why shouldn't we be privy to the ugly details? Was she really putting innocent pe...
