    About Me

    I have chronic back pain, bipolar, depression, and anxiety. I guess that covers it.

    Interests

    I am married to a wonderful man and have 3 great daughters, and 2 of the cutest baby granddaughters you've ever seen. At least that's what I think. I enjoy gardening, reading, and quiet times with my husband.

      good morning!! We re back from the docs and guess what? Chris lost 16lbs!!!! I am so happy and relieved and learned about a government program that I can apply to...but I cannot remember the name!! Talk about alzies...LOL! It's a beautiful day and we can celebrate the weight loss next week with a meal out.. the docs and nutrionalist was VERY impressed!!! Daughter is still banned from the pc..she tried to sweet talk me this am, but got nowhere with that.. I am sticking to my guns on this for her own good!! Hope the pain is not too bad today...is your daughter there yet?? Got any muffins left...we are kinda hungry!! Have to go for another blood test for Chris to recheck the levels and don't need to go back for quite some time now....whew!! Thinking of you and hoping that all is ok and you too...loving hugs and smiles for YOU!

      good afternoon Dawn, just getting on for the first time today...! Yes I made them calls and all should be ok (fingers crossed) and back in business for the first, I soo need it as I need to finish school shopping. Went to wally and got the meds... for three months!! They have a thing going now that you can refill up to the three and fixed me good for sure...only one of the sleepers tho. That's ok.. going to her on the 15th (again with the fingers) and will ask her to change or up the dose. Went to bed last night at 7:30!!! and slept really good...ya think it was due to all of my frazzled nerves?? LOL...then my daughter had to pull her "stunts" again...and is banned from the pc till she shows more responsibility in things....it's wayy out of hand and it needs to be stopped. Am I expecting too much? I don't think so...13 and cannot take a phone message..wth is that??? So things have been very quiet here today. I put on a dress, did my hair and went to the bank to get my last $20....cause I just felt like it and sure needed it....do you know how long it's been that I have worn a dress....it the rebel in me is coming out and I will continue this till I feel better. Glad that you are getting those ducks in a row for Friday... why not make a list and double check it when you think of it.? Works for me all the time...that is when I remember the list!!! Talk about alzies...you sure have company. School starts on the 2nd and our appt is in the am for the diet doc. Now I get a letter to come in and talk about going back to work...you know work and lose the benefits...NOT gonna happen!! I intend to get a letter from the doc to help me, even part time would put me a deeper hole. I would really love to work, and feel more useful to life and myself...but who will be able to stand me on them bad days? I cannot even stand me!!!!! Call in sick too much and lose it...then lose the bene's too....just not worth it. Who the heck knows what will happen....that's for another day, just trying to cool off from the confrontations with Sarah...did I tell you she is alot like her dad?? Talk about triggers.....and I decided to go to therapy to handle this as I am running out of ideas and need some help with it....maybe if I got really rid of the root of the problem, my little blossom will be easier to handle. Enough of this crap for now...them dishes are a calling me....hugs my Special Betty and talk to you tomorrow.
