Introduction

 First, you probably want to know what is a BananaSloth? Well, don't worry. It's nonsense. It's a "you had to be there" kind of joke in my family. Like much of what I will say here. 

Me: I like to journal. I'm a watcher. I try to see things around me that are unusual. I really like to make people laugh. But if you had me tell a joke, I'd get it wrong every time. I used to keep a blog about my kids and our adventures. Then we had a couple major life events and I just couldn't write anymore. So I lost my outlet. I write in a paper journal, but I don't have any organization to it. I've decided to write here somewhat anonymously. I'm sure if you are skilled you can figure out who I am, but I am going to keep names and details out of this. Maybe someday I'll share it with my friends and family. 

I am a mom of two teens. A wife of a neurodivergent husband. A caregiver of two dogs, four chickens, and an amazon parrot. I work as a child psychologist. I grew up an only child in poverty with an often single, and always mentally ill, mother. She died when I was in my 30s (Event #1, mentioned above). I have more friends that I consider family than family that I consider friends. 

And that begins, BananaSloth Life.
