A house of boys

Image
Living in a house of boys. Literally. Some days, it's a save me, call out. Other days, it's a rescue call. Yes. there is a difference. But then there are those days, I'm grateful there are no other women, and I'm sure the boys are too. Because, they all know, they couldn't handle more than me. Take it back to when Destiny lived at home, I think they too would take things the way they are now, than before. So there are books on being pregnant, there are books on newborns, there are books on toddlers. But you know why there aren't many on teenagers? Because you throw the damn book OUT! There is no more real and raw than this photo here. Licensed, permit, and 11yrs old.   And this is what the world wants to see.... "highlight Reel" Every teen is different. And there is a new book every day written for each one. For real. The house of boys goes like this. Dylan is 16, close to 17. Seth is 15, close to 16. Kaden who just turn

A letter to Cindy.

It's been a long time since I sat down to talk to you. I'm ashamed to say I've had my priorities out of order. Life gets busy, but that's just an excuse, as you know. We always make time for what's important to us. And I haven't made time for you. You wouldn't believe how much our home town has changed. And I know you saw your momma sold her home where you lived 24 years of your life. I know, I was sad to see it happen too. So much growth around the desert, so fast pace. I don't miss living there, although I do miss home. You would just get so many laughs out of the craziness that is social media. It's unreal, really. However, to be honest, it helps me stay in contact with so many people, but at the same time I lose the grasp of when the last time was that I actually picked up the phone just to chat. You wouldn't like that.  But you would love Facebook, Snap Chat, Instagram etc... and I know you, you'd have them all. I get to enjoy
