The perfect date. We all have one (hopefully). That date you look back on and think, “Why can’t they all be like that?”. Maybe it was a beautiful restaurant…dressing up and being treated like royalty. Orrrr…maybe you’re like me and it involved a giant cow. 🤷‍♀️ Many many (…MANY…) years ago, a fresh, innocent (stopContinue reading “The Perfect Date Still Moooooves Me”

I cried today. I don’t do that very often. I DESPISE crying. I think it was good for me this time though. Sometimes tears are cleansing and wash away what’s blocking our vision. What was blocking my vision, as it has many times, was how the world/certain people see me. It’s so, so very easyContinue reading “Through His Eyes”

A couple of months ago I never would have thought I’d say these words, but… I love Thursday mornings. I’ll start this by saying, I have a long standing belief that people need to know when they’ve impacted you. Whether we like to admit it or not…we all want to know that we’re seen…and thatContinue reading “Thursday Mornings With Tetresa”

This one is for me. I lie here remembering my faith and my trust. I remind myself again that God has never let me completely fall. And I pray that I can stay strong in the face of no answers. I saw the cardiologist. He said something is definitely not right. He isn’t worried aboutContinue reading “.”

Disclaimer: My teenager said if I ever wrote about her she’d murder me in my sleep. But…this site IS called called “Jazz Hands MOM” and she also found out she gets the life insurance as long as I don’t die by her hands…so, I’ll risk it… (P.S. She just read this disclaimer and approved it.Continue reading “Mornings With Bella”

I think I confuse people. I’m this woman who will sit there and make the crudest of jokes and laugh over things you would never discuss in church. And yet…I’m also this woman who has fairly unshakeable faith. Some people think those two things don’t fit together. I disagree. We discussed this in my firstContinue reading “The Plan From Beginning to End”

I’ll preface this by saying, I’m not saying astrology is bunk. I’ve seen too many times of my teenager being COMPLETELY BULL HEADED to discount the Taurus in her. That being said…Y’ALL…STOP IT. 🤣 How many of these posts do you see? “I do <insert dumbass shit>, but it’s not my fault because I’m a(n)Continue reading “It’s Not My Fault. I’m a(n) <Insert Sign Here>”

Getting this out where probably no one will see it because I’m not sharing it to the Facebook page. Lol I’m scared. My heart giving out has been my biggest fear since getting Lyme. I’ve always known that IF the Lyme ever took me out, it would be my heart. And now…with doctors writing “stat”Continue reading “Scared”

I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. That urge to just completely disappear. It comes with the territory of anxiety….that calling…to become invisible. Anxiety is the simultaneous wish to disappear to see if anyone will care and the horrible fear of being invisible and no one noticing your absence. You guys…I’mContinue reading “For My Next Trick…The Disappearing Act”

So…yesterday I wrote a blog…because that’s what I do. I was rather proud of this particular blog, “An Ode to Online Dating” because it rhymed and it made me giggle. I mean, really, how can you go wrong with lines like, “I was ready to give it a shot/ I was ready to try myContinue reading “Dude…Zuckerberg…For Real?”
