At this time last weekend, I was on a plane. I was going to Florida for the first time in seven (7) years to be with family. And, I knew that I was walking into a lion’s den. Being the only (to my knowledge) disabled person since birth in my family means I’m treated differently.Continue reading “Holding Grudges”

Independence Day
It was an unintentional silent protest in our home this weekend. We intended to go to a baseball game, but we waited too long to buy tickets. We did go to a movie and ran some errands we needed to do for the weekend. We were home long before dark. As the fireworks started goingContinue reading “Independence Day”
Slowly but Surely
When the last kid left our home and as we began walking through our hell all those months. We decided on 2 things. First, as soon as we could we would leave this apartment… which will take at least one more year because life has a way of intervening in our efforts. Second, we wouldContinue reading “Slowly but Surely”
Community Involvement
What do you do to be involved in the community? I live my life as part of my community.
Home Sweet Home
My home stopped feeling like my home before we had to deal with court. It started to get better after I got my performance stationary bike and got my workouts in regularly. And then, we had someone ask for help. What was supposed to be temporary has lingered on for months, and now continues untilContinue reading “Home Sweet Home”

Though we were found not guilty of a felony, we still have to deal withContinue reading “The aftermath”
Verdict
After the arrest in July 2023, we learned that we were being charged with a felony. We were appointed attorneys due to the severity of the charges and went right to work trying to get the charged reduced/dismissed/mitigated. Ultimately, our efforts amounted to nothing. So, on July 22, 2024… our criminal trial started. A juryContinue reading “Verdict”
Curveball Explained
About a year ago, my husband and I were arrested. There was a warrant/charges we knew nothing about. I have explained previously that our last foster placement ended quickly. These things came from that. Anyway, we have been in and out of court for the better part of the year with continuance after continuance. WeContinue reading “Curveball Explained”
Weekend
We were supposed to be witnesses to a wedding this past Saturday. Instead, we were subjected to verbal abuse, and the efforts we put in were completely ignored and unappreciated. I have lost complete respect and trust in the groom, and I have absolutely 0 desire to have any relationship with the bride. On theContinue reading “Weekend”
Lost Weekend
We were blindsided Thursday night and had to live through hell. Now, we have to fight for so much more than our reputation. I’m extremely confused by this and frustrated. So much so that my temporary health provider was strongly recommending blood pressure and heart meds. Thankfully, our family came to the rescue, and weContinue reading “Lost Weekend”
