Journal Entry for May 4, 2008 Mood
Sunday, May 4, 2008 | A General Update story

Things are going ok for us. We have been pretty busy with appointments and such. Kristen is back to school tomorrow after having the week off. :)

She made friends with a girl at the park last month and it has been best friends ever since. Her friends name is Cameryn or Cammy for short. She is actually 3 years older than Kristen but it hasn't seemed to matter to either of them. Cammy slept over this past week and the girls have played together almost everyday. I am very happy for her.

So, our landlord prefers us to pay in cash instead of us giving him a check because he doesn't go to the bank regularly. So when my pay came in on Friday I went to the bank and withdrew the 1100.00 like usual. I put it in an envelope and we went to do some errands. Well, it must have fell out of my pocket or something because it was GONE!!! 1100.00 gone. Luckily my landlord was pretty understanding and we are going to pay him with the money from the stimulus pay that everyone is getting.

I have to wonder about my own well being lately. It seems like everyone around me is in despair over one thing or another and I try my best to help or listen, but holy geez. I try and think that my own well being is not very stable as I will not beable to get back on any meds until July. I feel like I am teetering on the brink of loosing it at any moment. Like I am walking on a tightrope and one little misstep, and CRASH! why the hell can't I allow myself to be happy?

Kristen's birthday is next month. She's turning 5! :O( She is so big. I was going to have her party at Chuck E Cheese but decided to just have it in our yard. We'll barbeque and Kristen wants music. So we are busy planning that, and have a butload of appointments coming up. Hope you all are great!!

    Colleen!
    Missed you girlfriend! Good to catch up a bit. I know how it is when you're looking out for everyone else, forgetting you need some lookin' after too! I'm trying to come here again to give back since I'm doing better (see journal).
    5?!!!! OMG, so fast...I'm looking into preschools for Ella in Sept. She'll be 3 in Nov. We're having fun these days, and the best part is that I am emotionally able to experience joy with her since my meds are doing well. I'll have to see if I can find out in past journals why you aren't on meds...hope all is going ok.
    SOOOOO SORRY about the $1100!!!! Damn Landlord. That's screwed up! Seriously, I blame him.
    I look forward to Ella having a friend. She still hasn't played with many kids and freaks out when some come up to her at the park. She's usually fine around adults - shows that I'm not socializing her enough yet!
    I think of you a lot and am so glad I got to say hi, let you know I'm here, and thank you for being there for me. You're a beautiful friend and an awesome mom! Hey, you've given me many pointers when it comes to "mommying."
    Love you!!!!


    LuvNHope
