She is an amazing woman that fights mental illness, chronic fatigue and other health issues that are debilitating all in their own. More importantly, she’s trying to make the best of her “Ailments” and tries not to allow them to defeat her because she is a sparkling Jem of a person. She has brought sunshine to my “online life” and I like to consider her a friend!!

He is an amazing guy who fights the debilitating effects of chronic pain each and every single day of his so very young life. A family man and a Mate, Shaun has an incredible will about him and spirit that I am so glad I have gotten to know him and talk with him. He speaks from the heart about his pain and more importantly about his family that is just number one to him. I encourage each and everyone of you to check out his blog, it is definitely worth a read!!

I have chatted with this gal on several occations and she has lifted my spirits. I decided to nominate her because she speaks from the heart and tells it like it is. Mental health and all the things that come with it is tough and dealing with it on a daily basis is just as tough. I am not sure if she accepts and does the whole award thing but I just had to nominate her and have you all check out her blog. Please spend some time there and you will see!!

~~Mama at http://mentalinthemidwest.wordpress.com/

She is an awesome person, straight forward and honest. Not saying that everyone else isn’t but she defiantly has a blogging style all her own. She suffers the same mental illness but isn’t defined or lets it define her and I consider her a person I can really be honest with and talk to when I am having a bad day and I thank her very much for that.

There are so many people that have come to my blog and left me encouraging words and I thank you so much for that and I hope you keep coming my way.

I wanted to jump on and let all of you know of a few things real quick as I have been as you can say MIA the last few weeks and I completely and totally apologize to you all for a few reasons…But, for starters the reasons I have been MIA..and I feel you all deserve an explanation because there is a reason why and I’ll get to that later on…

My reason as to why I have been MIA  for the last couple weeks and I totally apologize is because I have been trying to finish up this class that I have been involved in. Usually I can juggle both but I have been having major issues with the instructor and then because of the many issues with her, that mind you now I have to fight with an appeal because they couldn’t get this taken care of before hand, now its gotten completely ridiculous ..Now my financial aid hangs in the way not to mention my way of going to my new school is in real jeopardy ..Plus, now they tell me it can take up to 30 days to get a final answer…talk about them taking their time..All this because the teacher is failing to actually do her end of the deal, her job. I mean if I don’t do my homework and write my papers, I don’t get credit and I end up failing my classes and I loose my financial aid..plain and simple..grrr just so irritating… So between not getting her help for some of the assignments and then other things involving the class, I had a hard time juggling both my time spent working on school work and my blog, I unfortantely had to spend more time for school. Sorry guys…

My health became an issue, between my daily pain of my back and my fibro flairs…and then my migraines were just unstoppable. I am only given 9 imitrex a month and would you believe it…The first time in awhile I went through the whole prescription…So finally my migraines have at least lifted for the time being..We are trying to figure out what is causing them to come so infrequent but I am at a loss. Right now, I am thinking it is more a weather associated thing than anything at all. Then again I could be wrong…lol..

The one thing for the time being that has lifted and has given me some relief is my oldest…lol…She is actually doing better since she started going to the day center. Although, last night we had an issue with this new friend of hers and I originally made a deal with her that she could be friends with this girl and have this girl at the house but after last night and seeing what this girl is all about…I just don’t need the drama in my life or ours…~J~ certainly doesn’t need a friend like that…I know she is starving for friends but I would rather her have no friends at all than have this little girl as her friend..I know it sounds bad…but its so bad…This little girl is such a bad influence, I learning more and more…

So on to my BIG Thank You!!! and another BIG Apology….This one is for Tersiaburger…at http://terisaburger.com  for nominating me for the Best Moment Award http://tersiaburger.com/2013/05/04/best-moment-award-2/. I want to say a BIG HUGE THANK YOU!!! I accept this with so much emotion you cant even imagine. This is only my second award and this by far has such a special meaning, not that the other awards have any less meaning or are less special but each award has different meaning for various reasons…(For example, My first award was special because it was my first ever award and was given to me by some one that understood what I am going thru in regards to depression and all. This one is special and means a lot to me and you will just to wait til later to find out why…hehe..) Now the reason I want to apologize to her is because she awarded it to me http://tersiaburger.com/2013/05/04/best-moment-award-2/

First-Best-Moment-Award-Winner

and because of everything going on I haven’t been able to post about it. Not that I have been ignoring her or the award, just that I have needed to put my energies to other things. I hope both you and Terisaburger can both understand and accept my apology!! I so know the importance these awards are when people give them out and I didn’t mean not to post anything but I had to choose between my blog and college and the other things. I hope this doesn’t affect anything.

I will be posting later today all about my award, so please stop back and check out all about it!!!

(I’ll be waiting to find out who stop back to check out who checks out my blog there after…hehe…lol…just kidding…)

Sorry, folks that I haven’t posted in awhile, but I have been fighting a lot of different things…From Migraines to my depression to my bipolar. I hate to have to miss blogging but I had to take some time off and just dedicate some time to me and besides that I couldn’t even sit down in front of the computer with my head pounding so bad for several days straight. I am not at 100 percent by any means with my migraines to start but I did however start with Physical therapy but it just seems like it is making it ten times worse. I called my primary doctor today to talk to her about a new daily preventative because there was no way I was going to be able to wait til the 30th of this month for our appointment but all she did was order me a new abortive and of course my insurance wont cover it. To make things worse being that it is friday, it was to late to call her back and let her know  what the pharmacy said and try to get something else prescribed. So still, I am square one!!! However, she has put in an order for neurology to see what is causing these migraines but I fear they are going to tell me it has something to do with my pain medications. I just want some relief. I have a feeling it has something to do with the weather changing so dramatically here in my area. The weather is so nice and sunny one day and then the next day it is rainy and cold.

Well, next I have been seeing an Occupational therapist for my fibromyalgia and that just started this week, I let her know what was going on with all of my other issues and she also suggested to my physical therapist for me to see a neurologist because of all the muscle twitches that I have, and some of the other issue that I have been having that have been getting worse and worse because of my back or at least I think is because of my back. Plus the latest spine doctor also confirmed that my S1 is completely fused, by my body no less and that from my last spine surgery it is pressing again a nerve root so that could answer a whole bunch of my questions..So we will just see what they have to see.

Next on the agenda….lol…I finally got my medication that my psch doctor prescribed me over 3 weeks ago..That is how much trouble I was having with my insurance and getting the messages back to the nurse who seems to only be there half the days. It is so frustrating when you are trying to stay in contact with a nurse but she only seems to work half the days…grrr…I am so frustrated and so aggrivated I cant even describe it…lol…I am so happy to finally start it, the medication is called Lamictal and from what I have heard it is supposed to be really good with mood and all and then I when I see her in a week it should be time to start cymbalta…So I guess I’ve got something to look forward too. I hope so cause this up and down crap is absolutely for the birds. I just wish it was years ago when I was somewhat normal and I could function without all this stuff…I just wish I could accept life for what it is…I just dont like life right now…It doesn’t seem to like me for what ever reasons…It seems like I did something wrong sometime or another and now I am getting paid back…Like Karma is striking me back for something I did….I try to be a good person, I really do…but it seems for whatever reason I just keep getting knocked down…..

Sorry, I am just in a mood right now, I know I am actually doing good right now, kids are healthy and happy….I am about to start school in the fall….All my bills are paid…So why am I so blue…..I sure wish I knew…..I just wish this pain would go away….Right now as I sit here and type, I am getting this piercing pain in my ribs and in my right side back like someone is quick stabbing me….Plus…life just isn’t enjoyable at times…pain is always there and I wish just one day I could enjoy a pain free day…yeah right huh!!!

 

Well, until I can better manage this migraine, hopefully it will be gone tomorrow….I am in the process of planning somethings for this blog so be prepared…I will be back new and improved…Please bare with me…

So I sit here and think about the old days,  the days of when I had it together, or at least my life together at that point in my life!!

What I am trying to say is that I had it organized and I would get up in the mornings and get myself together before I would do anything or go anywhere. I seem to snap together in no time flat. Now these days of mine don’t seem very well put together. It drives me nuts and I know just start with one day at a time and work on that day. I try and I litterally get anxiety attacks trying to get it together. I feel like I have  no organization, no order. I just really sucks and I just hate it. I know no one can make a change but myself.

I read everyone’s blogs on here and they seem to have it all together. I don’ know I feel like I am in a rutt that I can’t seem to snap out of. I need to figure out how to get my life back into order again.

I know come the fall I start school and that will be a good way that I get order back into my life, but its driving me nuts about right now. I know sorry folks this is just a rant about my unhappiness and my mood swings are kicking in and I know I am not there emotionally at all.

So I am trying to find some kind of organizational calendar that works the best, anyone have any ideas???

Well, off to make myself more appealing!!!

For any mother is on the go I want to let you in on this exciting opportunity. Since I blog to busy moms and stay at home moms that are busy just the same, I thought you all might like this.

So I figured I should update on ~J~!!!

Well, this will be her second week at the day treatment program, and for the last couple days for the most part she has been doing okay!! We had a little hiccup the other night when once again we found she had taken yet again another phone and yet again another facebook account, but that was before friday so as for the weekend no hiccups!!! YAY!!!

So I am taking each day as they come, hopeing for a good week!! Is that too much to ask, I sure hope not! But then again we are taking about ~J~ and like I said I am taking one day at a time.

As for Little Miss, well, she is a handle full right now, getting into everything, running around like a crazy person! Then again she is already started her terrible two’s I think so hopefully when she does hit the big 2 she will be done and over with the terrible 2′s and life will be much easier!! But I have a feeling with my luck that wont be the case!!

Then she gives you that cute little look and you just melt!!!

Oh, well and there is me…I am just a mess as usual..Had my Ct scan the other day so now it a trip to the new doctor and have him read the results and hopefully tell me why I am in so much pain all the time, I mean it sucks when you can barely do the dishes without wanting to cry. I am so serious, the other day I went to the grocery store, and I barely made it thru the store without wanting to cry and then came home and was doing the dishes. The pain is worse than before my first surgery. I hate complaining all the time so I just try to keep it to myself  but sometimes you can see it on my face. So I muster whatever I have inside me and I get thru whatever task I am doing. I just wonder if I have another surgery in store for me. Whatever is wrong with me needs to just go away….lol..I just cant figure out what happened. Its like just steadily its getting worse. It just sucks so bad, just cause it interferes with everything I do…lol..I mean I can handle being in pain everyday but there only so much I can handle ya know…Plus, it interfere with my sleep, I dont remember the last time I got a good nights sleep. Oh yeah and the other day I could barely sit on the couch or lay for that matter, I kept getting Charley horses in my feet, It really sucked. Have you ever gotten Charley horses in your feet before..I must have been siting or laying on a nerve in back or something cause it kept happening over and over until i moved just right and they stopped. OMG, it was driving me nuts, ~J~ even asked me what was wrong, cause I kept getting up and down, I must have looked like I was a crazy person!!! lol….

Well, enough about me and my pain…Ill update ya when I get the results from the doctor, I am hopeing that I will know in the next couple of days..It would sure be nice and then go from there!!!

So as for that, I think that is all that has been going on in this crazy thing called life!!!

Yay me!!! hehe

theblogworkshop-logo-300x279

I know with the girls around, I will surely be distracted and I don’t want to miss a thing!!!
