Are you kidding me with this?

I'm not one to rant... but I'm making an exception today.  I got a call from my sixth grade daughter (who was at school, crying) recently and was told I needed to bring her some clothes to change into because hers weren't 'appropriate' for school and went against the dress code. What??? I thought back to what she had on that morning, which was actually an outfit she wears to church; leggings & a baby-doll style top that came to her thighs--completely covering her butt--and a long-sleeved blue-jean jacket. I took a deep breath and told her I would be right there.  Well, when I got there, she was upset and embarrassed that she had to be taken out of class (missing her lesson) so she could wait on me to bring her clothes. When I asked the office why her clothes broke dress code, I was informed it was because her top didn't come within an envelope's width of her knees. Really? So, let me make sure I understand. She can't wear leggings when she w...

Mental Health Awareness Month

Image
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month , I've got my latest duology on sale for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee ~ only $2.9 9 ! In this YA story, you get to see how mental illness not only affects the person who has it but how it also touches everyone around them in some way. Mental illness is just that, an illness, not a weakness. The sad part about it is that many people don't speak up or get help until, for some, it's too late. Depression isn't simply being sad.

For instance, I suffer from anxiety and OCD, but I'm not defined by it. It's not who I am, it's something I have. My OCD consists of double-checking a lot of things (doors, alarms, the st...

Celiac Disease is No Joke!

Image
In March of 2022, my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. On one hand, we're thankful that's all it is and that as long as she doesn't eat OR get exposed to gluten at all for the rest of her entire life , she'll be okay. On the other hand, Celiac Disease is no joke!  It's not a simple food allergy. It's an autoimmune disease that can affect her entire system, not just her stomach, and it has. Looking back at the problems she started having in middle school, a lot of things make sense now. Is it all connected to Celiac? We'll never know. However, after doing a lot of research, I'd say it played a role in a lot of it. That's why I wanted to share our experience because, from what I've learned so far, this autoimmune disease affects everyone differently. Joint Pain Around sixth grade, my daughter started complaining that her knees hurt when she bent down and that her ankles sometimes caused her pain when she walked. After talking to her ped...
