Is it really May 15th already?


It sure is AND I am officially the mother of a teenager now!  YIKES!!!!!

There is reall nothing to talk about... No really, not much.  So, I'll share some gratitude with you!

  • FIVE EFFING YEARS CANCER FREE BABY!!!!
  • Shelby
  • Wilbur
  • Coco
  • My amazing friends (I love you SO very much!)
  • Sunshine (I miss you so!)
  • Generic Zyrtec!
  • My job (and fantastic boss who knows nothing about this blog)
  • Surviving over a month in the same house as a teenage girl
  • Being able to keep on going!
  • Speaking of going... I have dipped my toe back into the dating waters. No date(s) yet, but thinking about it.
Okay, there is one thing that I would LOVE to talk (brag) about, but I can't.  All I can say is that my kid is the AWESOMEST kid and friend ever!  I'm  hoping that I will be able to elaborate sometime in the future.  But, until then, I am so proud that my daughter is BRAVE and stood up for others who couldn't stand up for themselves.  My kid's got cajones!  woot woot! 

Oh, one more thing. After just one visit with sd &  his family, she asked my attorney to petition to have all visitation rights terminated.  I was shocked!  But, I suppose I shouldn't have been.  The last two years without him & his family bullying us has given us both time to become stronger and know what we want out of life.  Imagine that!  I am SO grateful that I have created a safe environment for my sweet girl (hormonal &  moody too) to express her needs and wants without fear of being judged!

I will leave you with a few recent pictures.

My Teenager

Yesterday (5/14/11)


Thanks for sticking by me & loving me my friends.  I don't know if I can ever express how each of you means to me!
Love & blessings my friends <3

WARNING ! THIS POST CONTAINS IMAGES SOME MAY FIND OFFENSIVE !!! This is me, approximately 2 weeks before I had Shelby. I was tired, but looked pretty good for being 38 weeks pregnant! Look at my arms & legs, no fat! Shelby was born weighing 9 pounds 10 ounces and 22 1/4" long! Big baby! Please ignore the scrunchy, my hair was really, really long! This is me & Shelby. This afternoon. I weigh approximately 30 pounds more than I did the day I had Shelby! I am not at my heaviest (I've lost approximately 6 pounds recently), but I am DONE being fat! I hate it. I'm ashamed! I can't walk up a flight of stairs without being winded. I have sleep apnea. My asthma is quite bad and I'm exhausted all the time. There are so many contributing factors to my weight issues. Abuse as a child and teen, abuse from boyfriends in adulthood... Cancer and the huge surgery to get clear margins. Depression. I haven't gone on a date in forEVER and being heavy gives me a great ex...

Final Notice Prior to Disconnection...

I've had enough! I got paid today, but the money is all gone. I had to pay the sitter yesterday ($120) and the mortgage and then gave $211.27 to ComEd to avoid disconnection on Monday. Tomorrow we go to the dentist. Thank goodness I have a debit card for my flexible spending! The dentist is at least an hour away, so we have plans to go to Red Robin and meet Kim, Joe & Sean there. I have money to buy us lunch, but that's it! Then, there's the shoes I have to buy Shelby because she joined Cross Country & it starts on the 24th! My next paycheck is at the end of the month and by then the car payment will be a month behind as well! I don't like saying this, but WHY ME??????? Why is it that the sperm donor can get away with living with his mother at 40, falling behind over $6,000 in support and still have money to freaking drink & smoke his life away? I'm tired of the bad stuff happening. I'm TIRED of people around me, who treat me and my child like shit,...
