Journal Entry for February 5, 2008 Mood
Tuesday, February 5, 2008
It certainly seems like awhile since I have been on here I have tried to read journals and the discussion boards and have wrote a few times on there but I have been having some trouble concentrating lately even the simple things seem somewhat overpowering at times.  I am not sure it is all of the stress lately or the migraines or if they both are working in tandom to bring me down.  I did have a headache all last weekend and then got my primary to give me Imitrex for migraine pain and was feeling pretty good this morning but the pain is easing back now.  I am also having some extra numbness and  in my arms and feet making it hard to navigate around here.  I am going crazy now with my youngest child she thinks the world revolves around her, I know she is a typical teenager but the constanst demanding tied to whining and the swearing is getting bad.  I cannot think clearly anymore and have been having trouble balancing my checkbook and telling her no, which coupled together could lead to financial disaster.  However all in all things are not so bad,  I did get an appointment at the MS clinic in Milwaukee for the 29th of Feb, I am excited about going there and I hope to get to try LDN among other things.  I have started taking Ginko Bilboa to help the mind fog and taking Melatonin to help my sleep not sure if either is helping me much but I do know the Melatonin seems to help some.  I have been dating Marty again just dating which is something we never did before I am in no hurry to have a relationship or to choose him as an exclusive relationship.  I have met some nice interesting men just relaxing now and enjoying life.  Wishing I could have more time with my grandchildren I worry about all of them!  I did tell Steph no today to drive home the point about her behavior this past weekend.  I did take her to video store where she made a comment that was so embarrassing I had dropped a dime on the floor I aked her to pick it up.  She told me she could not reach it and just leave it for some poor person maybe they could have a nice meal. That is not how I have raised my children.  Not to mention how flippant she was or the way she snapped at me.  I think I will make her donate half of her allowance to the homeless for a month or volunteering for a shelter.  I know she is having a hard time dealing with all Gary and Lyn have dealt out, her exact comment was my sister belongs in the psychie ward and Gary is in jail because he wanted to drive and of all things a Volvo! Aren't I good enough for you?

    I KNOW THAT STEPH HAS BEEN THROUGH ALOT JUST AS YOU HAVE BUT I REALLY LIKE YOUR IDEA OF MAKING HER VOLUNTEER......I THINK IT MIGHT DO HER SOME GOOD......GRIN. MAYBE SHE MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE MORE RESPECT FOR YOU. AND YOU SHOULD BE RELAXING AND ENJOYING LIFE.......PUT THOSE FEET UP HON. LOVE YA, TAMMY

    I love the idea as well of making her volunteer at a shelter for the homeless as well.. if nothing else it would teach her to be more respectful and grateful of what she does have.. especially seeing the faces of the children coming in who have no home or no regular hot meals... may teach her the humility that she needs ..sigh... that is my sons next voluntter place that he wants to volunteer at... he has asked me to go with him for the first little while until he becomes accustomed to it...

    you again..are a great lady hon...and a wonderful mother... keep doing what you are doing...smile

    luv

    All in all, you sound like you're handling things in a good way. You have so much on your plate, and I'm proud of the way you continue to improve your health matters and it sounds like you're being wise on dating Marty (I married my best friend 25 yrs ago, still going strong). Taking it slow and getting to know one another is an excellent idea. Plus, you're leaving options open with some other gentlemen, you're one smart cookie!! Does Steph have her own phone line? If so, have you taken away that privilige for a month? Mom did that to me when I was 13, and I thought the world was coming to an end!! Hang in there. Love, Ann
