• When Hidden Secrets Become Not So Hidden

  April 17, 2018

  A little something I wrote a couple months ago that I thought I'd share here. ~~~ I have PTSD. It’s funny. If asked the question last week, I would have said I _had_ PTSD. Is it something you can recover fully from? I suppose so but the body memories, I believe, will always remain at…

• Gypsy

  April 10, 2018

  The wind calls to me... I never felt settled. I seemed to always be at unease. Not at home. I have childhood friends who remember how much I talked about being somewhere else. The gypsy in me had always run strong. I was determined to head to California for college. Then I met a college…

• Hmmmm…..

  April 9, 2018

  I was clearing out my inbox and saw the email from OD. Okay, I was curious. And ironically, coincides with a time where I am in need of writing. I just haven't decided if I will stay here but thought I would take a look around.

   Just in case since I see the logic of what others have wrote about this -  Anything I have written on any incarnation of Open Diary belongs to me. I own a full digital copy of my writings in XML format as proof of ownership. If the database is transferred or sold, my property may…

• Ciao

  January 27, 2014

   I can't believe this site is finally shutting down. I know I haven't been here for years but I still hold this place dear to my heart. I have "met" several great people here and it was a great place to come and vent or share what was going on in my crazy head. At…

• What I have been up to (pics and video)

  January 28, 2013

   Yeah, yeah. I won't say it anymore.....but I will. I think about it but I never seem to make it a priority to get over here to actually write. Life has been kinda crazy busy. Homeschooling keeps me on the run and with both kids in gymnastics, I tend to just veg out when I…

• A Quick Summary (A Few pics too)

  September 6, 2012

  It's 7 PM. The kids are in bed. And the husband doesn't get home for another hour. It doesn't happen very often when I get a little time to myself anymore. I figured I'd write. It's obviously been a LONG while so I'm going to do a quick overview since I was last on.  …

• Still Here

  April 28, 2012

   We're still at the hospital but I will say I'm 95% sure we'll be home tomorrow. They really want to see her go home and her temps have become far more manageable that I think if they are hesitant, I could give enough of an argument to just let her go. Her temps really haven't…

• Hospital Update

  April 27, 2012

  We are still at the hospital. Things seem to be moving in the right direction but it is slow and we are still without an answer or reason for what is going on. Lily has been far more animated today which is definitely good. She spent more time out of bed and lot of giggling.…
