MDJunction to me

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here.

What a Holiday
Sep 01 2008

This holiday weekend has been a very busy one. My husband and I cleaned the garage which was a huge feet in itself.  Did some shopping and cleaning on Saturday, Sunday was church 2 services andwent to the hospital to visit family and Monday we finished the garage and went to the Apple Works to get some carmel apples and go to there petting zoo.  We had a really good time. 
I ran out of Lyrica on Saturday so I have been taking pain meds to get thru this weekend due to lots of pain.  I had a really bad pain day today.  After the apple orchard we were on our way home and I got very tired and rested my head and got in more and more pain on our way home.  By the time we got home I was in tears and really out of it.  So got inside and took more meds and layed down and hubby got ice packs and put them on my shoulders and I layed there out of it for a few hours and then finally was able to get up and get around.  We are also doing our best to take care of hubby's father his wife our step mom is the in the hospital down here about 3 hours from there home so he has been staying with us for a few days.  Today was his bday and so we also pulled off a small bday party for him as well.

This week is going to be crazy!  My baby girl is starting preschool tomorrow at 8:30am which is VERY earily for our household.  As well as we are going to the circus Friday and then on Saturday she has her first soccer game!  I can't believe how fast she is growing up.  My hubby and I have looked at each other often in the last week and said can you believe we just said you got school tomorrow LOL nuts!

As much as I am freaked out to be apart I am in the same way needing to de-stress  because of all this pain I am looking forward to a bit of down time with just a baby to have to worry about for a few hours a day.   I know that sounds horrible but with this pain that I am in constantly just the idea of knowing that for sure she is going to pain and do crafts be read to and go to a play gym and play is much more than what I can guarantee. Some days if I am having a bad day all I can offer is cartoons. 
I need to get to sleep i am so tired.  I don't remember hydro causeing so much fatigue!
