doughnut cure

I make doughnuts once a year on Fat Tuesday... miss last year for budget reason and not having a working stove. Well on this find day of service MLK day, my daughter asked for me to do some service for our family and make the doughnuts she has wished for since last year... going to get it a try... this is nothing about divorce except as the lone parent who parents you are the sole keeper of traditions big and small ... they cannot be missed. You cannot fix everything but you can make doughnuts.


Recipe and photo to follow.... on this dead er then dead blog...

Well I am not dead but this blog seems to be....

I am mourning the loss of summer. In all truth do not feel like I had summer. No beach, no vacation of any kind. Single motherhood is a sort poverty that does not allow for the normal things like a vacation. I started this blog one late night, when I just could not sleep. It seems pretty dead... even I forgot about for a month or so.

I guess the words dead and divorce do not inspire folks to want to read or write. Maybe I should post recipes or something. No misspellings so this can get posted and hopefully read.

divorced not dead....

Mid life divorce after a long marriage creates a death of sorts... but leaves you still among the living without the benefit of the funeral or relief from the pain. Your not dead and realizing that simple fact it is a surreal experience that mostly leaves you stronger. I have read self help books, legal books, books who titles include the words "good", "poison","dummies", "healing" and none really tell the whole story... the good, bad, and ugly parts of divorce and the simple fact your not dead despite some how feeling you should be... make sense or is this nonsense? Join in... I've been told you need to thrive, not just survive. Not sure I am thriving.
