Journal Entry for May 27, 2008 Mood
Tuesday, May 27, 2008

So I got my first shot of Humira today in my tummy-I didn't think it was so painful. I PRAY, PRAY, PRAY that it works!!

Memorial weekend was kinda weird Michael spontaneously dedided to vist his brother in Baltimore for basically a day and a half. (He has Leukemia) He was supposed to be in the hospital for 3 more weeks but after Michael left they let him go home the next day! I'm sure Michael's awesome sense of humor and company lifted his spirit and white blood cells!

So I had to take care of Ian by myself (well, My mother's there but not much help) As a matter of fact, I have a new reason to be irritated with her-Ian is favoring her over me!! I know it's because she doesn't discipline him AT ALL-but it's still hard on me.

And she even seems to be enjoying it-I told her she should want him to love me etc. and not feel good about me being sad. She shouldn't be milking it....there's not honor in that...ugh, I swear I don't know what to do with that woman.

She may have gotten a job though-so everyone keep your fingers crossed! At least she would be around less...  

Love you guys!

    Great news about Michael's brother, I will keep him in my prayers! JJ you just have to learn to let it go regarding your mom. I have wasted so many years hating mine, and I finally realized who does it but me? So please try to keep that in mind. Hopefully she will get a job and be around less. I sure hope this humira helps you, give it a little time and try to stay destressed so it can work its magic. I missed you sweetie and of course the little guy too! Hope you have a great week! love ya lots, Auntie M

    Little Buddy! I'm so anxious to see how the Humira works for you. Good luck! - I've never met you but I know you are a good mother, so don't worry about Ian. Grandmothers have a way of winning over grandkids. I promise you Ian will always love you, especially if you
    discipline him. As for your mother, just stand your ground with her, be firm and tell her how it's going to be!! - I hope I don't sound like I always know what's best, I don't!! I've had my share of family problems. There is always a butt in the bunch!!HA - Take care, hug Ian and feel good!! Connie

    Kids always love Mommy best no matter how they act. My enbrel shots in my stomach didn't bother me at first, but then somehow they did, so I had my husband give them to me in the back of my arm. It was much more bearable! I hope your Mom gets that job! Ugh, I hate it when we have people live with us. I know it has to really suck for you! Take care and I hope the humira works! April

    I take Humira too, but I give myself a shot in the top of my legs. So far I haven't tried the tummy because it says you aren't supposed to give your self a shot in scars or stretch marks - and that's all I have in that area LOL. Don't worry about your baby, his affections will ebb and flow thru out his early life - go with the flow and know he loves you! hugs...jilly
