“When it rains, it pours” Well, duh. Living in Western Oregon has some distinct advantages. We are close to the coast—actually, just an hour away. However, entering the highway from our town is uber dangerous. There are three main ways to get on Highway 22, two of which see more accidents than any road should.…

Well, not actually a return to me- us. He was required to live in the county he was convicted in. Not the county he had been incarcerated in, which I thought was kind of weird, but then again he had spent years in three different prisons in the state. Either way, he was 300 miles…

Now, I take no credit for the following, but I think it states, in words, what a lot of people feel, but don’t necessarily know how to put into words. “I don’t think that any of us planned for the things we’ve had to go through. Maybe that’s the whole point of living in the…

Where I left off… Kicked him out, he moved in with her, and things got messy(er). So, kicked him out and told him to get his shit together before he came back. Spoiler. He didn’t, get his shit together that is. Now the way I found out that he had moved in with the whore…

July…. 2012 or 2013 My ex mother in-law is currently dying. She has been sick for a while, but has taken a turn for a the worse lately. My daughter stayed with her Auntie for two weeks helping to take care of her grandmother. She did very well holding it together despite that side of the family…
