Today in my life.....


Today,
 I have no kids....
And it's just WAY to quiet in here.
My daughter has taken my two youngest, 
ten and five to her house for a couple of days,
because it is spring break!!!
And...


My fourteen year old ran away about four weeks ago. I don't want to sound nonchalant
about it, because I am far from it. If any of you are familiar with my review/giveaway
blog '4 the LUV of SaNiTy' you will know that I blogged a bit about it there, and then went
missing in the blogosphere for a few weeks. Basically I went missing EVERYWHERE
for a few weeks, I was told that I just stared off into space, and I know that I did a whole
lot of crying. When it came time to do anything that had to do with the younger kids getting
ready for school or doing their homework, I had to just fake a smile and basically my older 
son (almost 20 in three weeks!!)  totally took over. I can't thank him enough. He moved right
 back in and took over.


Since I have GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder),
Sciatica, Lupus, and Fibromyalgia, just to name a few..
I don't want to sound like a pity party, if this is your first time meeting me....


My Dr. started my on an anti-depressant, and I do believe that it has kicked in and
is working. Some say that it is in your head. I wasn't really thinking about it either way,
just simply taking the pill with the rest of my pills that I take at night, and then
yesterday they called me to see if I thought it was working, I asked my son what he thought, 
(my oldest) and he said that he thought it was working!!! 

Today while I was posting a couple of my giveaways on Facebook, 
I ended up posting an update and a photo on my status and then commenting on
a few of my friends' statuses as well, and low and behold if I didn't catch myself with a 
big old smile on myself and the next thing I knew, I was laughing :)

So...I think that either the pills ARE WORKING,
OR, like I blogged about on my chronic pain blog, I faked it till I made it :)
So, even though it is just a little too quiet for my liking today.

I have decided to make the best out of it.


I have decided to read to my hearts desire :) I have many, many
book reviews coming due anyways. So I will use
this time to not only due what I love
so, so much: READING.
But also, to reach a goal that much needs reaching!!!

Have a great day everyone.

((Hugs)) to you and yours!!

  2. Hi..Nice to hear from you again. We are only moving to a smaller cottage 4 miles down the road but we have to downsize bigtime. It's cheaper and the utilities are 1/3 of what they are here. So we'll be there until our cases go through with disability. Glad your son is home. How is that going? There's nothing wrong with anti-depressants or anxiety meds. They do work in the right conditions. I've been on Zoloft for years but lately it's not enough so they added me on Valium when I feel the need which isn't too often but when I need it it works. Helps keep things in perspective! Thank goodness for your older son! Gotta run. More packing to do. Sending big hugs!
