2016 sucked. If we can’t agree on anything else, I think we can all agree on at least that much.

I think we can all agree that there is some messed up stuff happening right now.

Once your doctor or midwife has cleared you for sex and you’re feeling ready to get back in the saddle, so to speak, there are a few things you’ll need to mentally prep yourself for.

“Is she Black or white?” I asked another mom who was describing a little girl in her son’s class that she thought my family might know.

I found my first gray hair when I was 12 years old. Twelve. I had gray hair before I had a period.

Things as simple as a missed call from an unknown number or someone knocking on your door put me into straight up fight or flight. I really do hide from people who come to my door. Real talk, I have gotten on my hands and knees below a window so they wouldn’t see me. I’ve even hidden in the closet. I know. Whacko.

I’m frazzled, y’all; I’m a mess. I’m a basketcase of anxiety and stress and I need to chill.
