Improving

Posted on February 08, 2009
I wasn’t sure if the extra Zonisamide would do the trick but fortunately by Friday I was feeling significantly better. I do think the weather has a lot to do with it as well. It warmed up a lot towards the end of the week and my pain lessened...

Cutting those final ties

Posted on February 08, 2009
This blog post on “I am Divorced, Not Dead” reminded me of why I have tried to keep a strict “friendly, but not friends” rule with Chapin. It is SUCH a hard line. On the one hand, the easiest thing might be to excise that person completely from your life...

Twisted Gut

Posted on February 07, 2009
So this is for you confident ladies who know what you want and aren’t afraid to go out and get it. How do you know you’re right? When you stand up for yourself, how can you truly be sure that you aren’t just being a self-righteous witch? Or an ignorant one? [...

Pumpkinhead Cuteness

Posted on February 07, 2009
My son has been so cute lately that I just have to share some of it with you all. Some examples: My Mom told him she had purchased bread (we were out while I was sick and I hadn’t made it to the store). She said I was going to make him sandwiches, like [...

Posted on February 07, 2009

In light of the country?s current economic crisis, $7 on the 7th is an easy, affordable way to impact the families of [...

Another quick and dirty health update

Posted on February 05, 2009
Pumpkinhead lost too much weight on Concerta. The psychiatrist has switched him to Vyvanse. Ugh. He has been getting in trouble at school consistently the past few weeks. We’re working on his behavior but I really do think part of it is him and a large part of it [...

At the Whim of Others

Posted on February 05, 2009
In pain, I have not been staying true to myself the past month or so. I’ve been doing for everyone else and not for me. When people say jump, I say how high. When I reach out and don’t get back in return, I take it and stuff down the hurt because [...

Quick Health Update

Posted on February 02, 2009
On Friday night, after a horrible day at work pain-wise, I called to see if I could get in Saturday morning to see someone about muscle relaxers or some other drug to help me. The on-call nurse said that my condition didn’t meet the criteria and that I really needed to see a specialist [...

Random Gifts

Posted on January 29, 2009
I received a box of chocolate today. No name, no card. Just a lovely box of Ferrero Rondnoir dark chocolate goodness. Sending thanks out to the universe since I don’t know who sent it. The only other time I’ve received chocolate randomly was at a similarly opportune time in 2004, the [...

Successful Single Mom Giveway

Posted on January 29, 2009
Run over to Honoree’s site to read her funny and thought-provoking post on why single moms are not after your husband, married women. She is also running a contest for single moms to win a copy of her new book and a free one-on-one coaching session with her...

Cuteness

Posted on January 27, 2009
Pumpkinhead didn’t want to sleep tonight. I got home from work around 8:30 and was going to take a shower to see if it would help with the pain. As I was getting changed, I heard him whimpering from the bed (his room is right next to the bathroom)...

Trying something new

Posted on January 26, 2009
Spending today at work feeling like I wanted to crawl under my desk and die was no fun so I decided to be proactive. I have been reading a variety of books on Fibromyalgia trying to figure out what I can do since the Zonegran and Cymbalta aren’t doing the trick by themselves right [...

Sunday Pain Update

Posted on January 25, 2009
Yesterday afternoon I went for a massage. Today my allover muscle pain is feeling better but my joints are still extremely tender, especially in my hands, knees, elbows and toes. I was supposed to start water aerobics last week to see if the water helps, like this article recommends, but the place [...

Sunday Stealing: Cannon Fodder

Sunday Stealing: The Cannon Fodder Meme 1. Is there someone you’d like to be kissing right now? Yes, but he came over and gave me a kiss tonight to tide me over. 2. When you’re being extremely quiet, what does it mean? Usually that I am pissed...

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-01-25

Posted on January 25, 2009
Catching up w/DVR. Watched marriage proposal on Lipstick Jungle. Swooned. See, girls are the romantics (she asks), but I liked his line. # Crawled out of my hole to go to store in T-shirt and flip flops. Was icy two days ago; now back in 70s. # Ugh, Monday: more animals http://tinyurl...

Blogging the Pain

Posted on January 24, 2009
I’ve been having severe all-over pain since September 2007. During my lifetime I’ve actually had two bouts of “mono” and years of being sick with “viruses”, sensitive to noises, smells, chemicals and sensations. It just seems like in the past two years, everything has been magnified 1,000 times...

Two!

Posted on January 24, 2009
Pumpkinhead lost his second baby tooth Friday morning. He now has both middle bottom ones gone and sounds so cute when he talks!! My baby!!!! The Tooth Fairy brought him more gum, a Hot Wheels car and another $1 Sacagawea coin. He was psyched.

Lightbulb Moment

Posted on January 23, 2009
I realized yesterday that sometimes when things are going well, it’s easy to look for the faults in others to “stir the pot” and take the focus off the real issues. Sometimes it just takes a good, hard look in the mirror and some calm conversation to realize that things aren’t what they seem...

Here?s a Quarter?

Posted on January 22, 2009

Me, melodramatic?

Posted on January 20, 2009
My mother used to tell me that when I grew up I’d probably become a soap opera writer. Too damn melodramatic, I suppose. I always loved the singer/songwriters and I’ve always felt like songs are the scripts to my life. I just wish I was creative enough to [...

Wow?

Posted on January 20, 2009
So today was a crazy day. I tried to listen to the radio but ultimately I kept getting dragged into meetings or having to take calls and I missed it. Missed Roberts screwing up the oath (Doh!), missed the speech, etc. But I just watched it and I cried...

Where?s the Pause Button?

Posted on January 19, 2009
My baby is growing up! Where can I find the life pause button? I can’t believe he is so big, so beautiful, so smart, so special… and now so toothless. Yes, as he was brushing his teeth this morning, the first one fell out. He caught it and raced outside to [...

Tightly wound

Posted on January 19, 2009
Tonight I upgraded my regularly scheduled hour-long massage to a 1.5-hour massage. The masseuse said he could not believe how tight my muscles were. He said that if he hadn’t seen me with his own eyes the weeks before, he’d think he’d never worked on me...

In the Now

Posted on January 18, 2009
I spent most of yesterday in bed. Bailed on a single parents/kids dinner that my friend had invited us to and just slept. Then around 8, Pumpkinhead and I went over to Blue Eyes’ house and hung out there for a while and then stayed over. I couldn’t sleep...
