Lakshmi's Love Shack
My ex-husband kept referring to him as a gardener during the divorce. I’ll have you know, he was so much more. A Landscape Visioneer he was, and he certainly changed mine! Lakshmi-Love, wherever you are now, I will always thank you for opening my eyes and hope you'll forgive me for finally sharing our story.

Stuck!!!
There are now two days left in the No Regrets challenge and I have bared my soul and let the readers in on numerous cringe-worthy moments in my life. Another one just came to mind so here I am sharing yet again. This embarrassing situation came in 2011 after a faulty water heater began leaking. It took a while for us to figure out what was going on because there was thick carpet on most of the floors in the house. The water must have been leaking onto the floorboards without our knowledge and we assume that it shorted out the ground wire because one day out lights simply went out.

Don't Be Alarmed!
My first official job was working as a bar attendant at the Entrance Leagues club. I was not very good, I couldn't serve drinks without spilling them, and I sucked at being a waitress. Because of this they rostered me in the one place where I would not have to pour or serve a drink... the cash box. They thought I was safe here from mishap and for the most part it was.

Story 15 Tonight I am disappointed. My husband is away at training for a job, in a college town. Surprise surprise he’s drinking on a Tuesday when he has training tomorrow and has spent over $100 tonight when we’re barely scraping by right now, we are literally living at my parents house rent free because we just moved across the country. He drinks almost all week and says it’s to calm his thoughts. I really never thought of him as an alcoholic up until recently and I don’t know why I never did, his family is full of alcoholics and all the signs are there. I’m so sick of this, I’m pregnant with our second child overall just extra emotional, I’m so sick of it, but he is our only income right now since I stay home with our 3 year old and I’m so tired of dealing with him, feeling like a babysitter all the time. I feel bad to say but don’t know why I let the pregnancy happen and why I thought it would be OK. Why bring another child into this mess... I can literally feel my heart aching 😥

Story 7 My qualifier is my sister. It's a really long long story but I had both of her kids via cps. She got mad at me and decided her daughter needed to go live with her dad. The kids have different fathers. It broke my heart. I couldn't do anything to stop it. And I'm angry. My nieces dad is always out of town working and she's lonely, being raised by her grandmother essentially, who raised her dad's other 2 kids and let them drop out of school in junior high.

Welcome to the Sixth Grade
This story will seem embellished. I assure you it is true and my cheeks still turn red hot every time I retell it. It was a hot summer day in the year 2002. I was a bright eyed sixth grader that wanted so desperately to fit in. It was probably my fourth week into my middle school career and this place was so vastly different than my elementary school. Not only was the school different; so were my friends! It was like they grew up five years over the summer.

3 Powerful Lessons from Mother Nature
When I was studying for a business degree at University I had to take a Statistics course. During that first semester I failed epically. This was especially embarrassing because my father was a highly respected educator. I should have been the star student, but I wasn't. Shame-faced, I decided to speak with my father and tell him just how bad things were.
