My love of old movies helped shape me

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 12 Jan

From the time I was a child, I was always kind of an old soul liking things that were generations before me. I think it started with watching old movies with my dad. I remember just being so drawn into a world so unlike the one I...

Former coworker in trouble

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 11 Jan

This week nothing has taught me that you never know someone quite like the reality that a former coworker was arrested for molesting (I use this term because I'm not sure if mylot will allow me to use the actual term of what she...

Sharing interests with my son

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 4 Jan

My son and I were watching the Dean Martin celebrity roast last night where they were roasting Dean Martin himself and my son and I got to laughing so hard when Ruth Buzzi came on as Gladys and started belting people with her...

Smoking

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 3 Jan

It's crazy to me to think about a time when there were still cigarette commercials on TV and when there was a smoking and nonsmoking section in restaurants. I remember all of our cars had built in ashtrays. In Ohio, they didn't...

Trauma

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 3 Jan

I once read something somewhere along the lines of no one leaves this world without some kind of trauma and it's true. In life you do survive trauma, some of us definitely have it worse than others but at some point, we all deal...

Spending time with my son is where I find joy

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 30 Dec

Something our children seldom realize is how much their presence means to us. It's not always about them doing anything for us. Sometimes I love just being near my son. As he has gotten older he spends less and less time with me...

People tend to idolize celebrities and forget they're human

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 27 Dec

I often feel like people forget celebrities are people. Everyone likes to hold them to higher standards because they are in the public eye but no one can be perfect all the time. They are going to make mistakes and say and do...

Christmas during my childhood and Christmas now

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 25 Dec

As I celebrated Christmas with my family I was reminded of memories of Christmas past. I miss the magic I used to feel around Christmas. When I was a kid we had the best Christmases maybe because I wasn't the adult who was...

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 24 Dec

With 2024 coming to a close and as we get ready to celebrate the new year in about a week I find myself reflecting on this past year and being grateful for everything I have. I came very close to losing my mom multiple times. We...

Dean Martin

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 23 Dec

I've really gotten into watching Dean Martin movies and listening to his music. There's just something I like about his low voice when he sings. I recently read biographies two of his children wrote. His youngest daughter from his...

My husband says I'm difficult to buy for/ I don't want much

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 23 Dec

My husband always claims I'm difficult to buy for. Most people claim I'm difficult to buy for because they don't really know me. I don't want much. I honestly don't get upset that I don't get Christmas presents. I don't want...

Trying not to sweat the small stuff/sense of humor/ learning to be ok with who I am

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 23 Dec

I've never understood people who get so worked up over the small things. I have always had a great sense of humor and I laugh off a lot of things and maybe sometimes I laugh at things I probably shouldn't but that's who I am. Life...

Enjoy your littles

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 23 Dec

Sometimes I get jealous seeing the pictures my friends post of their littles enjoying Christmas. It's not that I'm not happy for them or even necessarily sad for myself. I love my son exactly as he is but that doesn't mean I don't...

It's been a crazy busy 2024 and now that it's coming to a close, I can't help but reflect on the crazy year I've had. We have spent the year taking adventures and trying to make memories with our son. We have had a lot of bad...

Kids aren't always honest but they are pretty funny sometimes

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 27 Nov

The fun thing about working with kids is the blunt honesty they have about anything but the things they are supposed to be honest about. It's a common phrase I hear that kids are honest to a fault but that's not true. Kids will...

Exploring Ohio/history is important

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 14 Sep

This past year I've had a blast exploring and discovering Ohio. The thing that kills me though is seeing how much of history has been destroyed. I find as a whole, people enjoy replacing the old with the new and that's not always...

Ohio road trips with our kid.

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 29 Jul

My husband and I have been spending the past year making memories with our son. We are at a place now where we can occasionally do fun things. It's not always about the money you spend but the memories you make, and you can make a...

Shannen Doherty/Richard Simmons/celebrity deaths

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 19 Jul

It's been a tough week in Hollywood. We've lost a lot of celebrities lately. I think the celebrity that hit me the hardest was probably Shannen Doherty. She was still young and should have had more time but despite her putting up...

My dog/the neighbor's son

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 19 Jul

I have told a lot of stories about my childhood and crazy things that have happened to me, or my family and I often realize how insane they sound and wouldn't be surprised if people didn't believe me. The story my son finds the...

Giving my son experiences

Sissy15 @sissy15 (12350) • United States 12 Jul

Lately, we have been trying to give experiences to our son. I've tried to talk to him and ask him what he really wants to do and he never has any answers for me. He's a super laidback kid who is very go with the flow and is just...
