Sore and Truth

“It left me sore with my legs feeling shaky.” Part of the comment I left in the Facebook exercise group yesterday. A comment that has so much behind it that the women in the group would blush if they even have any idea. Or if I had typed the truth: “I went into yesterday’s workout…

Recharging and The Ocean

A few years ago, G and I vowed to take more time away alone.  Until that point, we were maybe getting one weekend away a year with more time being spent away with other partners than with each other.  It was fine for a while – but truly started taking a toll on things as…

Nineteen…

Nineteen years ago, we stood in front of our family and friends, exchanged vows, signed a piece of paper, and became husband and wife. Two kids – god, we were just kids – fresh from college – jumping in with both feet into “adulthood”.  G was trying to find a job – I was four…

Life IS Good

This is how I’m feeling this morning. I got tons to do – and no motivation to do it. Instead I’m thinking about last night – thinking about tonight – and this weekend. My mind is going through processing this month.  Have you ever looked back at a period of time – like a month…

When Sleep Won’t Come

When sleep won’t come, I got up – and decided to try to empty some words from my brain and onto a page in hopes that it helps. So here I sit in a dark living room with a shot glass of vodka to sip as I type on the computer – and be circled…

My Valentines – A Poly Version

I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. – Roy Croft I guess I am luck.  Nah, no guessing – I know I am lucky.  I have one love who I have grown up with – who I have a crazy life with –…

Assignment: Write a letter to a business

G was chatting with me the other day after school when he was telling me about an assignment he gave his kids. “Write a letter to a business complimenting them on the services you received.  You may write to Jamba Juice, Ted’s Body Parts, or Tammy’s Eyelash and Cat Emporium.” My first response was “that’s…

Supper and Family Talks

We had our last supper as a family last night – for at least two weeks.  It’s funny to think of things in terms of “last” even if it has that caveat of “until a few weeks from now”.  Adding that word makes the situation more important, heavier if you will. DJ was supposed to…

Poly is Hard

Being poly is hard. If anyone has ever thought it was easy, I’m sorry for sending the perception.  I guess I am good at making it look easy sometimes.  But it is hard having multiple people in your life you love and care for tremendously and wishing you can put everyone first while realizing there…

Laughter IS the Best Medicine

We were sitting on the patio at the pub having a very late lunch after what had already been a long day.     I don’t recall what my kids thought I said, but G quickly commented “That wouldn’t be the strangest thing that came out of Moe’s mouth.” I looked at him wondering where…
