This is an UPDATE to my ➡️ https://theonefourone.com/2022/03/01/a-look-back-on-2021/ ⬅️ click for more. All through last year, my repeated statement to all involved with my mom throughout her journey was this - our goal is to get her back to independent living like she was the day before her knee replacement and then heart attack. I... Continue Reading →
When I started to blog, I remember the feeling of excitement of putting my thoughts down on "paper". Not worried about what people thought or if anyone would even read my posts. It is a shame to say that I began on Blogger eleven years ago - E L E V E N. In eleven... Continue Reading →
I honestly can say that I do not even remember what I did January, February or March. I looked back in my day planner and the things listed in those months were birthdays and days off of school - no rushing to here to there back to here only to go there again. A nod... Continue Reading →
I cannot seem to get in the groove of writing and it is such a shame. Part of the problem is that I just don't make the time. Another part of it, I stop myself from sharing my words due to allowing others get in my head and rent space that doesn't belong to them... Continue Reading →
2020 has been different to say the very least with Covid 19 that has plagued the world. A couple of viruses of a different kind infiltrated our family in human form. Before Christmas last year, a not so nice person left our lives - or so we thought - then they came slithering back in... Continue Reading →
When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do as I walk through the house is to say the words - THANK YOU. I repeat THANK YOU over and over until I get to where I am going. ~ THANK YOU ~ THANK YOU ~ THANK YOU ~ THANK YOU ~ THANK... Continue Reading →

Our family took off to the Great Smoky Mountains four days after Christmas and have spent the last week... Continue Reading →
I have spent this entire weekend alone doing whatever I wanted to do whenever I wanted to do it. I even took an evening to do nothing at all but veg out, watch every episode of Season 5 of Grace & Frankie on Netflix and drink Dark Horse Rosé wine. I have been afforded all... Continue Reading →
If Facebook showed me just how many times I pull up their website on Safari, I would be even more aggravated with myself than the crap that flows through my newsfeed as I mindlessly scroll down rolling my eyes ~ quite often I may add ~ at all of the crap that people post and... Continue Reading →
As much as I hate to admit it - I am a hoarder of things like all of M's papers. I have totes labeled Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade.... you get the picture. Middle school took a hit in the paper department since very little - if any - papers were brought... Continue Reading →
Well, hello!It's been a hot minute since we've talked! What have I been doing you ask? It's almost easier to tell you what I HAVEN'T been doing. Blessed In The Chaos for sure! Since our last chat, we've had a 16 year old birthday party for my niece. She then hit a deer the next day... Continue Reading →
Jealousy is a very ugly word. For fifteen years, I've put up with someone in a constant state of jealousy. I honestly wonder just how a person can remain in that state day in and day out 24/7. It would have to be absolutely exhausting. Not only that, but to steal the joy out of special,... Continue Reading →
Have you ever been disappointed? Have you ever disappointed someone? We all have been there in our lives. I believe it is how you deal with the disappointment is what is important. For myself, when decisions have been made that were out of my control; I chose to stand up, brush myself off and move... Continue Reading →
