A client of mine told me something that I was surprised to hear. He pulled me to the side and told me that he has been watching me run around, handle clients, and generally be busy. He told me that I was doing a great job for somebody my age and that he was proud [...]

They have been warning us of a winter storm for a few days and today it finally hit. Good news is that for the first time in at least five years my job actually closed down. No tax preparation for me today. Aden and me it the hay inside while the snow hit the ground [...]

So the little man has been sick ever since this morning so we’ve bee inside all day. My poor baby has been throwing up and feverish all day. Doc Daddy was here to take care of him though. He’s normally a tough kid so when he comes to me with a face so sad I [...]

I had more fun this weekend than I should have had. I drank again. I thought Aden hated me. Ever since he was little, every time he saw my face, he would just smile through his excited eyes. But over the weekend, it was all about playing with his aunt and cousins. Granted they are [...]

Dear Melissa, While I can’t talk about everything we’ve been though, its only right that I write what I can. I remember the first day we met about 15 years ago in Mississippi. You and those glasses that made you seem so mean. You were mean. But even though we were so young I knew [...]
