Trailer Park Trash and proud of it……….

Flood Aftermath Video

I think using YouTube will be the easiest way to share video.   I’ve tried using the wordpress “add media” utility and can’t get it to work.  Can you imagine having to drag everything you own, sopping wet, stinking of mold and dirty water, mud coated, to the curb for trash day?

Linky Love

I wanted to share with you all a few blogs and sites that I go to regularly.  Hopefully you will find them helpful.   Artsy Mama - she reminds me that I can be a good mom and still take time for my creative side.  And her art is wonderful eye candy, too.   Declutter It! - [...]

Little Man Feels Like He’s Being Replaced

Little Man feels like he’s being replace with ex’s new girlfriend’s son.  Ex has moved in with her and he’s bought a house with her but not married her as far as we know.  This past visitation, Ex’s gf brought her kids to his parent’s house where Ex has his overnight visitation with the kids.  [...]

Lost in Draft Land

 was just checking my www.abusymomonline.com blog when I realized eight of my posts weren’t there.  I looked in “manage posts” and found them.  Somehow they were all saved as drafts and not published. Ahem…….I’ll be posting a bunch of journal entries here today that should have been showing up all month.  Sorry for the overload.  [...]

Moms and Sports

Little Man will be a fifth grader this year.  He’s played soccer and basketball, but until now hasn’t had an interest in playing football.  O.k.  To be honest with you and myself, he’s asked and I’ve gently brushed it aside.  This year he really wants to play.  I’m worried about it.  He’s only 85 pounds.  [...]

Ex Isn’t Coming This Weekend

He called and told me he couldn’t have visitation this weekend with the kids.  I don’t know why not and I didn’t ask.  It makes me angry when he does this.  Ex tells me he’s not coming and then leaves me to tell the kids. I get to tell them, and get blasted with “why” [...]

I Want To Live With My Dad-Part 2

It really stuck with me when Diva said that.  I’m sure I handled it wrong.  I was angry and so was she.  I told her to go ahead and leave.  I’d help her pack.  Not one of my finer parening moments.  They shoulld tell you when you decide to become a mom how hard it is to raise [...]

One Of The Only Times I Miss The Ex Is……

When I have car problems.  Yeah, you heard it.  Flat tires.  Time for an oil change.  Transmission isn’t working right.  Especially when it’s a cheap part and simple fix.  The shop labor charges are four times the cost of the part and I know if the Gear Head Ex were still around it would be [...]

Self Care For Single Moms

I’m on methotrexate.  I’ve taken it for six weeks and it hasn’t helped yet.  My doc said they’ve used it for years.  It has horrible side effects like hair loss and vomiting. I’ve had the stomach problems. I’d rather avoid the hair loss…. thankyouverymuch. I will ask him about other meds.  I need to be more [...]

Another Monday Says Goodbye

My dsl modem went out on me.  At first, I thought it was just that the power cord had a short in it so I went to “The Store That Shall Not Be Named” and picked up a replacement.  Silly me, I thought I could get one for five bucks or so.  It cost thirteen [...]
