Families can be strange. What might be normal to one troop could be an off the scale cringe fest to others. Some are open minded, some are not. Some share, some do not. Some over share to a point were the words ‘What the actual Fuck?’ occasionally tumble from their mouths as they proceed toContinue reading “How Weird is your Family?”

Letting go of something or someone that no longer serves you is hard. In fact it’s Fucking hard. And emotional. And honestly there’s no fancy way to gift wrap it, it’s just plain crap. Sometimes the head and the heart don’t agree with each other and this can cause turmoil, but once you have acceptedContinue reading “Letting Go”

Waiting in the Wings

We operate a minimal child supervision policy in our house. Is this because I want to sneak off to watch Netflix and crime dramas unsuitable for small people during daylight hours? Yes.

Years ago I worked with a girl that had even less of a filter than me. For the purposes of this story let’s call her ‘Filterless Fiona’.
