I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
if it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but you never forget,
all the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,

and always give more than you take.

News of the weird

Transgendered patient Gina Tilley filed a lawsuit late last year against New York City plastic surgeon David Ostad (who has been cited by state medical authorities 11 times and sued 14 times), complaining that her 2004 saline breast implants had shifted to her armpits. [New York Post, 12-24-06]ok Im not a transgender by any stretch of the imagination nor do I have issues with anyone who is but I do have issues with this particular article because my natural boobs have shifted too!! Does that qualify me for the news of the weird or does it just make me old? lol something to ponder eh?

I got a new do

I finally feel like myself Im a red head again I even feel sassier lol

yeah Im lame

Ok what would you expect from a self proclaimed procrastinator? And a busy one at that! I have been outed once again on ScrapJazz for not updating my blog and once again it spurs me on to at least post here but I cant promise its going to be a regular thing lol.

Ok whats new? Hmmmm lots and nothing much all at the same time. Im super busy at work but I am coming off of working the night shifts and thats a good thing for me physically because it was too draining on me and made it impossible for me to regulate my insulin since Im a diabetic. The past few weeks Im putting in a average of 70 hours a week but hopefully soon it will lesson some. Im going to be working split shifts which means I go in twice a day but for less hours Ill be working 6-8 am then 230-830 Mon thru Friday. I think I can live with having weekends off after having worked weekends on a regular basis for over a year now. Im also moving to a new group home within my company. Ill miss my guys who I have come to love but the new clients are cool too and Im going to love them as well.

Caitlin is finally going back to the hospital where she can get the help she needs. Florida is so lame when it comes to mental health care they should be totally ashamed. They let this kid fall thru the cracks because there are no services here and that is a tradgedy and purely disgusting. Its because of this I regret moving to Florida but now Im stuck here.

My son is doing better but not back on his meds since he had that seizure which caused him to stop breathing and thank God I was home to give him CPR and keep him alive. He has been fighting the coxsackie virus for a couple of months with a relapse so Im not going to put him back on his medication until i as his mother feel it is safe. I have already lost 2 children and I refuse to lose another. When the school found out he still wasnt being medicated they sent out a social worker to my home who wanted to know why. I explained the above to her and she said oh my thats a difficult situation. I looked her square in the face and told her not its not its very simple He isnt going back on a medication that could cause him to have a grand mal seizure and stop breathing on me again. Plain and simple. Thats it thats all thats the way it is and they way its going to be until I see fit otherwise that he can safely be back on the meds. Try and fight me on this Florida and you'll be in for a bigger battle then you have ever seen.

Glenn and I are doing good even though Im not engaged like I would like to be but we are happy and thats what matters. Love is grand

I did it

I went to my doctor today and told him I knew I was going into depression and asked to be put back on prozac. He had to ask me what my symptoms were so I played along letting him do the doctor thing and then he agreed I was depressed. It didnt take a brain surgeon to figure that one out lol. The way its affecting me the most is Im sooooo dead tired all the time if my body would cooperate with me for once I would sleep my day away and honeslty Im not too much of a sleeper. Give me five hours of uninterupted sleep and Im good to go. Sleeping more then that is a waste of time to me there are so many other things Id rather be doing. My ambition is suffering too so I didnt want to wait until I was deep in the throes of depression before I sought help for it. I want to kick this in the butt instead of it kicking mine.

Depression sucks

I always think of myself as a fighter but Im also someone who likes to think positive so once again Im having to admit that depression is starting to sink its ugly teeth into my rear end. Ive known from past experiences that just willing it to go away doesnt work so Ive decided I need to make a appointment with my doctor and go back on antidepressants. I need to be the best person I can be because Im a mother and I refuse to let my kids down.
