Because, instead of a derogatory or harmful nature they carry extreme weight and burden. Especially for a person like me. I am a "fixer".<br /><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Fixers are many times the children of addicts. My parents were very young when I was born, still in high school, married and divorced before I was even out of diapers. My birth mother from a very early age was a substance addict who later transferred her drug addiction to a religion addiction. My birth father was an alcoholic. He filled his workday with coffee but the sound of an ice cold beer being cracked open announced he was home. Weekends were slightly different. Coffee until 11 am, then yes, just like weekdays beer until bed or passed out in his chair-whichever came first. I also found out about 2 years before he passed away that he in fact had not given up his need to self soothe with marijuana like I had believed. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">A fixer will physically throw their everything into solving issues. It is our addiction. We will put our own needs, health, and sanity on pause while working on the issue at hand because the reward of the fix. No excuses only solutions and offer more than you take are mantras. <br /><br />But even fixers have their limits. Cloudy and often hard to self recognize but they are there none the less. When limits surface fixers find themselves at a crossroads, keep going or stop ,When the fixer is tasked to help or save another person and they finally realize they are unable to complete the task with successful results because the other party continues to self sabotage-the fixer will always choose to simply stop. We will dust the damage off, re-group and move on. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The fixer then gets pegged as the villain by the person they chose to stop helping. That person cries victim. Unwilling to recognize they in face are not a victim but instead an accomplice to the circumstances they have created and continue to produce.</span> </p><p></p>All Together Deadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14184639889882538303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547144376633616520.post-59381890633821405222023-01-30T09:19:00.005-08:002023-01-30T09:25:00.894-08:00Blink and a decade passes you by. <p> <span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">It has been just about a decade since I typed my last blog post. I believe things were a lot different then. I mean clearly I got busy, things changed, life unfolded. My little wax side hustle took off an when I say took off exploded internationally. We grew quickly. We blinked and both of my kids finished high school. We became world travelers. Actually I discovered that travel is my great love language. Take me anywhere, show me the culture, the architecture, the food. I don't care if it is a little alcove of a beach in Puerto Rico where only the only other heartbeats are the flea infested wild dogs and their pups, the hustle and bustle of downtown Barcelona, or the quaint German influenced village of Alsace. If it means throwing a toothbrush and change of clothes in a bag and setting off on an adventure I am here for all of it. <br /><br />When this blog was first birthed it was centered all around my love of Halloween. We threw lavish annual haunts the size of wedding receptions completely themed out and changed over every year. 100 invites were sent out at the least. We retired those a couple of years ago. Sometimes I miss the planning, the prep, the excitement of our guests faces when they crossed the event threshold and the energy those evenings brought. It was definitely the place to be on All Hallows Eve. We still have party attendees regularly try to convince us to come out of retirement for "just one more" hoping we would catch party fever and pick right back off where we left off. But the truth of the matter is that chapter like the last decade of our lives has passed. <br /><br />This new decade that I find myself in is full of twists and turns. We have extreme highs and dark lows. I feel like this new season needs to be documented if for no other reason than to offer my soul a little bit of therapy. Perhaps a written recollection so that when my life season has passed my not so little anymore littlez will be able to come here and read the world through their matriarchs words. Allow me to connect with them when I no longer am a phone or text away. <br /><br />So if you have every said out loud "I can't make this shit up!", hit subscribe or whatever it is in the blog world now (I am super rusty) and stick around because you are about to witness the mother load of that sentence. The good, the bad, the insane and the ugly as this blog shifts to mourning an almost retired, empty nester life to parenting non biological troubled teens as an almost senior citizen. Who has the popcorn?<br /><br /> </span></p>All Together Deadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14184639889882538303noreply@blogger.com0Ohio, USA40.4172871 -82.90712300000001312.107053263821157 -118.06337300000001 68.727520936178848 -47.750873000000013tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547144376633616520.post-23134872720873765192012-09-21T06:32:00.000-07:002012-09-21T06:32:17.024-07:00wicKED Blog Giveaway<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our Local Target has begun the annual transformation of the back of the store. I am hoping that by the weekend it will be completely transformed. I love the Tree Cutouts that are on the isle end caps and the iron fencing accents. Of course, those are not for sale. Poor little pumpkins are all alone. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So today is Friday. In my house.. it is ritual cleaning day. Spouse was raised by his mother and two older sisters and well lets just say... he is one mean cleaning machine. It is also the beginning of his one day off a week most weeks and he likes to have everything "in order" as quickly as possible. My son teases him and says that his father has CDO which is really undiagnosed OCD but son says that his father has CDO because he has to put his own disorder in alphabetical order. <br /><br />So today in like 4 minutes as long as it will take me to finish this post we will begin the ritual, everything in its place that has a place.. however today is a twist, as we tidy up I will be packing up to begin the interior house transformation. I pulled several goodies and boxes down out of the attic and they are lined in the family room today... Super excited. Starting again with the China Hutch, it really is my favorite transformation I say every year I am going to leave it all year... maybe this will be the first. <br /><br />Oh and side note... the powder room I spoke about almost 2 years ago.. finally got its first coat of paint. Looks pretty fantastic, hoping to finish it up this week too!<br /><br />Happy Friday </span></span></div>

"It's Alive!" but for today, it is simply the coming out of dormancy of me and the All Together Dead Blog. Appreciation to non other than the <a href="http://strangelittlegirlblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/even-though-there-are-none-in-my-yard.html#comment-form">Frog Queen</a> herself. <br /><br />Self admittedly I lurk, a lot. It seems like most days that is all I can manage to do is squeeze in some lurking. Between advocating for the Autistic community, my very own 11 year old, leading an international Scentsy Sales Team, prop building, social media, 3 boxers, and a son that just entered the Air Force the blog was well for lack of anything better getting decrepit. Under any other circumstance a good thing. Unless you are a fan or reader, and in that case no excuse is acceptable and I apologize form my leave of absence. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So today, The Frog Queen protested her love of all things pumpkin... to which of course I know I am a HUGE fan as well, and she graced my website and selected a couple of new Scentsy warmer additions for her collection and then was even kinder to tell the world about it. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Today the little 3 piece Mid Size <a href="https://houseofmorrison.scentsy.us/Scentsy/Buy/ProductDetails/MSW-PUMK">Pumpkin </a>warmer is available </span></span><br />

Our "Creatures" hung from the loft and added that spooky atmosphere. Good thing I sent out "Creature Survival Kits" to our guests ahead of time. I loved the soft spider webs I found for $.69 each.. they made GREAT table centers for each table. Then I used mix and match candlesticks on each one. Actually, I used a lot of Party Lite Brass candle holders that didn't sell at our Barn sale this summer and spray painted them all with black paint... well.. I know... way expensive, but they were going to go to charity anyways and this way I found a way to re purpose.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RF47wL9qZ0k/TqW_c0BA8sI/AAAAAAAAA-4/Jpui-bsmgEY/s1600/IMAG0539.jpg"><img style="display:block;
