    Today marks a week that the bottom fell out of my world. Most days, up until yesterday, I have a few hours of ‘alright’ and a half hour of ‘sucks ass’ and five minutes of ‘okay’ and then the roller coaster starts back up at the top. Yesterday it was more like this — Shit,…

  • Stuck in a Moment

    Today went well. Well, for a roller coaster it went well. I spent hours and hours talking to Kara last night.  It’s hard to talk to your daughter and keep that fine line of what you can say and can’t say. I have friends that I can pour my heart out to and tell them…

  • I’m actually IN this picture!

    I woke up yesterday and HAD to get out of this house.  Being caught in my own head is bad enough, but to be caught in this house where around every corner is a memory that rips at my insides was something I had to escape. I grabbed a friend and my family and drug…

  • I’m going to start this post with a plead for kindness and understanding for my children. As you all probably all by now…my marriage has come to its end. We are all in terrible amounts of pain right now.  Each of us trying to grab a hold of some sort of sanity.  It feels surreal…

  • Someone…

    Please remind me to eat something today. If at any point I start looking pale, remind me how to breath again.

  • tripping out!

    This is Kara and her best friend, Avery at the last dance they went to this weekend. I decided to pull up their FIRST dance at the end of their 6th grade year…. Now how did this happen? How and when did they grow up and I miss it? *sigh*

Why I Started My Personal Blog

I started Random and Odd back in 2002 or so because it was all the rage and my mom and sister were perpetually online either playing games or finding recipes.
I decided that I wanted to be able to write what I was going through as a parent and keep them updated on what the girls were saying or doing. It started out just a way for me to vent, rant or laugh about life.
It turned into more when other people outside of my mom and sister started reading it and through the years it was just a place for Stuff Portrait Fridays, meeting other people blogging and making those people friends. It was a place to put down a photo I took that I was proud of and then it was a place to talk about the traveling I was doing. Now it’s just a dumping ground of bullshit that is swirling in my head.

I want to get back to writing, taking photos and traveling and doing a complete redo of R & 0 was needed to document.
Enjoy the minimalist look.
