It’s A Family Affair

In my family, the success of an event is directly related to the amount of angst and drama certain family members (specifically my sister and I) experience. Today was no different. It started with me getting less that 5 hours sleep because our Eddie has decided playtime is between 2am and 5am. Now in order […]

Excuse Me

I just read a post about someone asking people to say excuse me and not move her out the way by holding her waist. As I read it I smiled and thought if only that were my problem. Years ago, I noticed the little children I volunteered with found the only way to get my

Till Death Do Us Part

When I made my vows, I didn’t mean it When I got married, I said “in sickness and in health” but I didn’t know that I didn’t mean it. Nte had a fever, we assumed malaria. After 2 days of treatment and the fever not breaking someone whispered “test for Covid”. My natural response was

Gratitude

Literally this time 4 years ago, I was on my way home, sitting in silence, unable to speak. I had had so much hope, so much faith. No one could shake my belief in God. I put it all on the line because I knew if I just believed, God would not fail me. I

I Can’t Breathe

I didn’t watch the video. I couldn’t. I saw the picture and read the story. Violence against black people in America is nothing new to me. I’m sad to say it doesn’t even shock me. My last year in high school in Texas a black boy was tied to the back of a pick up

CC DAY 26: The Petty Master

Today I discovered my son is the master of petty. I decided I needed to get out for a bit, so to lure him out I said we should go play football. He got his trainers and started putting them on “Woah buddy!!! Where are you socks?” “Mummy, please get my socks.” I stared at

Home: I know I am my own worst critique and today, I judged the hell out of myself. I woke up this morning feeling anxious. I felt like I was missing something and I could not put my finger on it. I turned on my phone, checked my messages and then decided to find out

CC Day 2: Spot The Onion

There is so much fake news about today that literally every time someone sends me something no matter how convincing or outlandish, I immediately go online to search its validity. It is frightening the efforts some people go to develop these hysteria videos. I have an uncle who sent me a video on how Obama
