Goals for 2016 aka Lists I make when Procrastinating.

Last updated on: November 24, 2015 at 2:52 pm By Leticia Adams

Goals for 2016 aka Lists I make when Procrastinating. 1. Buy my husband a boat for Father’s Day. My husband has been through hell and back for the last 3 or 4 years and he has always supported me and loved me even when he was so down that he didn’t love himself. He has come back from the worst place that a man could be after losing both his parents, his grandmother and his best friend all within 3... Read more

The Scandal of TV Shows

Last updated on: November 23, 2015 at 10:36 am By Leticia Adams

People losing their shit for a TV show portraying things that happen in real life is so ridiculous to me. First of all, if people knew anything about Shonda Rhimes’ shows they would know that when a character on Grey’s had her abortion, her marriage fell apart because of it. But a lot of people like to write blog after blog about shows they know nothing about and a writer they know nothing about. Abortion happens in real life, Planned... Read more

Be Not Afraid

Last updated on: November 19, 2015 at 9:51 am By Leticia Adams

As a child, I was sexually abused and bullied at school, both of which were the root of fear in my life. I have gone to therapy for the last couple of years and worked out some of those fears. They had multiplied throughout my life into fears of not being a good mom, a good Catholic, of the fact that my children aren’t all practicing the Faith, fear of being fat, of being too much of a hot mess to...

Falling in Love for the Third Time

Last updated on: November 12, 2015 at 8:03 pm By Leticia Adams

My husband and I met when we were little kids and I fell in love with him in the hallway of our Jr. High the first day he started school there. He caught my eye because he looked just like Donnie Wahlberg and then I fell in love with him. I don’t really remember much about those Jr. High days of being his girlfriend other than the feeling that I would get from my head to my toes anytime that... Read more

Making Things New

Last updated on: November 8, 2015 at 4:19 pm By Leticia Adams

The blogging world and my past have crashed into each other. My ex-husband got a woman pregnant 8 years and 9 months ago. It is one reason why I finally ended things with him since he kept it a secret from me even having the woman bring the baby to stay at my apartment while I was visiting my mom once. I found out and kicked him out of the apartment. Stacey moved in 4 months later so Ben has always... Read more

What’s New in My Crazy Life

Last updated on: November 17, 2015 at 8:58 pm By Leticia Adams

It’s been awhile since I’ve told ya’ll what is going on in life. In case anyone thinks that life around here has calmed down, let me just tell you that it hasn’t. I do find a little bit of more peace in moments, but really it’s just plain insane around here. I keep wondering what exactly God is preparing me for but then I realize that a lot of the chaos comes from living a life full of bad choices... Read more

Purgatory of Addiction

Last updated on: November 2, 2015 at 8:51 am By Leticia Adams

Gov. Chris Christie is in the news this morning talking about drug addiction. Here is a video of his six minute speech on the issue. I watched it first thing this morning and I sat in my water closet sobbing. It’s the first time that I have ever seen a politician speak honestly about the monster of drug addiction in any way that spoke of authenticity. Someone who is in a position to actually do something about this plague. I... Read more

Six Years, no Arrests

Last updated on: October 31, 2015 at 9:41 am By Leticia Adams

It’s been 6 years since I’ve been arrested for anything. I spent 11 years in and out of jail for really stupid things like dog tickets and hot checks, but the last one changed my life. On Oct. 29th 2009, after a month of RCIA, I was arrested for a DWI. My kids were home alone and Stacey was on Afghanistan, so I had to think fast to get bailed out and get my kids taken care of. The DPS... Read more

About asking Questions

Last updated on: October 22, 2015 at 11:20 am By Leticia Adams

The first time that I started RCIA was when I was 6 months pregnant with my oldest child. The priest at the parish I lived next to was told that I was knocked up and so he came to my house and sat down with me to tell me that I needed to get my sacraments and baptize my baby or we would both go to hell. That’s what he actually said to me, a 16 year old pregnant girl.... Read more

Where are the Gates of Hell?

Last updated on: October 20, 2015 at 12:36 pm By Leticia Adams

In Matthew Chapter 16 verse 19, Jesus said “You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it”. It seems like there are some people who seem to either doubt Jesus’ words here or don’t get that in the same breath that he said “you are Peter (the first Pope) and upon THIS rock, I will build my Church (which is the Catholic Church), He also said “and...
