A Toddler’s Guide On How To Make 3 A.M. French Toast For His Mom
One of my earliest escapades occurred when I was only 4 years old. The time me and my brother decided to cook breakfast for my mother. My father was overseas at the time, so we kids wanted to do something to cheer her up. We were all sad he was gone. However, we knew the sweet taste of good French toast was also her favorite. In pitch black darkness, at 3 o’clock in the morning I roused from my sleep. I was barely getting out of my toddler years when for some wild reason I woke up in the middle of the night and had the bright idea to make breakfast for my mother. My heart was in the right place, I thought. I had wanted to do something special for my mother. She was and is my everything. Even at 4 years of age I had acknowledged this, and I wanted to do something I just knew she was going to love. However, intentions don’t often line up with capability when you are only 4 years old. I had also acknowledged this, and decided it would be in my best interests to recruit some additional help for this breakfast-making mission. My younger siblings.

A Trip to Story Island
When I want to escape the world for a bit, I turn to books. Reading allows me to drift into another place with a different story. Yeah, I know that sounds so corny and nerdy, but it is my thing. I also, love writing, so again this provides me with an escape. I have spent some time perfecting my bookcase to fit not only my reading needs but my reading mood. I truly feel like I could split the bookcase up into sections and each would represent a different land. So. let us explore those lands, no ticket is needed.

I Believed I was a Government Project
When I was a kid, around 10-years-old, I had this idea that I was constantly being watched. It got into my head that there were miniature cameras all over the place and that my direct family was a bunch of agents that were in on it. It was just a thought that sprung into my head one day. I knew that it was not true, obviously or hopefully, but as a kid, at that age, I asked myself, “what if?”

Mississippi's Most Wanted
My best friend, Katie, and I became super good friends when I moved into one of the available bedrooms in the quad she lived in on campus, at Eastern Oklahoma State College. One day were in a meeting for the Student Government Association on campus and I was ranting about how much I hated my dorm and I was tired of the communal bathroom situation, not to mention acting as the RA for the floor because I was the SGA President. Ugh not a job I wanted in the dorm with the Ag Guys (great friends but horrible stewards). Anyway, Katie told me she had just had a roommate move out so there was a room open. I didn’t so much as take a breath before I marched down to the Housing Office to get that open room. Needless to say, I got the room, moved in, and the rest is history. We have been friends ever since, and some of the shenanigans we have gotten ourselves into have been anything but ordinary.

Bloodied Nose
Tequila is a bad idea. That is not say Tequila is not fun. Nothing stops a night of Drunk Shakespeare, not even Sierra somehow acquiring food poisoning, abruptly stopping the salt lick hands and biting of limes. We stumble to the bathroom and I keep her sweat darkened locks from touching porcelain. The trip prompts our quick cash out and a slurred call to the cab company, who sends a speedy street bee to Shakespeare’s Den. We stumble out of chipped red doors, across rain-dampened sidewalks, trying to catch the evasive banana peel handle.

Face to Palm
Have ya'll ever been in public and seen something that makes you tilt your head and seriously question peoples judgement or has someone you know done something that you could not help but do the face to palm action? It seems to be a regular occurrence in my life. I am not sure if it is just the places I have gone to in my life or if my family and friends are just that crazy. It seems that I have a face-palm moment on a daily basis. See I live in a small rural community, with my family of four and we have five animals... yes 5 three dogs and two cats. Seriously, the cats are the biggest contributors of my face-palm action. I truly think one of my cats thinks she is a super hero or ninja, randomly jumping sideways and out of every high nook she can find just as you walk under it and my other cat thinks she is a parrot. This cat will climb onto our shoulders and just sit there meowing. Then there is the dog who thinks he is one of my children. Legit, this dog will get on the bus with my kids and watch them sit down and unless he is told to get off he would go to school with them. Or the dog who thinks he has to lay down to eat. He will lay next to the food bowl and casually lap up the food with his tongue. The female dog will hop around like she is a freaking gazelle or antelope even though she sounds like a Glydesdale. Her favorite hobby is finding new and inventive ways to tangle her self up when on her lead outside, sense she thinks she can roam around and cause trouble.

Blessings Among the Bleakness
On October 6th, 2020 I was diagnosed with PCOS. My Gynecologist decided she wanted me to have a test done to rule out any other possible health issues after I had a kidney stone for the first time (I'm 23). I was worried as I awaited the results and even more worried when I got a call from her office asking me to come in person to speak about the results. The first thought on my mind was Cancer, of course, because your mind travels to horrible places when your nerves get the best of you. When she said early PCOS, I was blank. I've heard of the acronym before but never knew what it stood for or what it entailed.
