Things are hard, and today I need to feel it.

Gratitude Part 2 – Kickass Single Mom Emma Johnson

November 23, 2018 / Viv@Grief Happens / 2 Comments

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I suppose I should say Happy Belated Thanksgiving, but I've never been one to only celebrate on the day. We're still celebrating at our house and will continue on through the weekend. I hope those of you who celebrate enjoyed your time with your loved ones and had all the delicious foods … Continue reading Gratitude Part 2 – Kickass Single Mom Emma Johnson

Will I Ever Be a Grown-up?

August 31, 2018August 31, 2018 / Viv@Grief Happens / 7 Comments

I assure you I am most definitely adult-worthy if we're referring to trips around the sun. Lately, though, I realize that I've lost some skills in the ten-plus year span of birthing and raising children. A lot has happened in ten years. Currently, I'm attempting to make sense of some seemingly basic stuff that I … Continue reading Will I Ever Be a Grown-up?

Couples With ADHD

November 17, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 15 Comments

Y'all. I swear. Some days all I can do is laugh...because really there are simply no words. Since I told you about my Lexapro flu in my last post, I'll pick up from there. I went for my three-week follow-up on Wednesday, and he convinced me to give Vyvanse another go. So far so good. … Continue reading Couples With ADHD

Does the Why Even Matter?

October 17, 2017October 18, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 10 Comments

I've shared in previous posts that I'm slogging through what feels like a significant depression. I feel like I can't move myself and trudge through the daily tasks. The simplest things take what feels like a herculean effort, and lately I'm just not up for any of it. Then there's the anger. So much anger. … Continue reading Does the Why Even Matter?

Moments That Matter

October 11, 2017February 10, 2019 / Viv@Grief Happens / 10 Comments

Sometimes I find myself full of advice. I have these sparks of wisdom, though it's rare that I share them for fear of looking like a know-it-all. I SO don't know it all. Occasionally, though, words fly out of my mouth before I'm able to hit the pause button and self-edit...and it's a good thing. … Continue reading Moments That Matter

Writing Through the Unpretty

October 6, 2017October 6, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 5 Comments

It's Friday...hello, call me Captain Obvious. I'm welded to my couch and have little interest in separating myself from it. This is the first day of the week where I haven't had to rush out the door first thing in the morning.  It's been a busy one with no end in sight. So many thoughts … Continue reading Writing Through the Unpretty

So Many Thoughts on a Steamy Friday…

July 28, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 10 Comments

If I ever get around to posting all the thoughts in my head and notes scribbled in my journal, I won't know what to do with myself.  It's been a hectic few weeks as we prep for a new school year while moving boxes out of our old house as we get it ready for … Continue reading So Many Thoughts on a Steamy Friday…

Rants and Recipes (if you read to the end)

May 26, 2017May 26, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 7 Comments

Going to a wedding reception used to be a simple affair...before I became a parent. It was typically a celebratory event and even though there were times I wasn't sold on whether the couple was going to be together til death did them part, I was happy to partake in free food, booze and live … Continue reading Rants and Recipes (if you read to the end)

Smartphone Quandary

May 15, 2017May 16, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 6 Comments

I've mentioned that I have focus issues. I know. I repeat myself regularly. Stay with me. I'll do my best to not bore you with the ALL the hairy details. Recently, I was talking to a friend who's also a busy mom. She takes care of her small farm, runs a business, and is active … Continue reading Smartphone Quandary
