Here and Alive

I am here and alive. I know. It's been awhile. The name of my blog should really explain it all, but it doesn't. Not completely. Nope. Can't blame it totally on mood swings. Not this time.

I would also blame it on lack of time, but that too would be a lie. I have the time. I just chose to do other things. Not that I don't want to blog. I do. It's just when I have a moment to myself, I veg and recoup. To explain why, I have decided to fashion a list.  Easier for me to write and probably easier for you to follow. Trust me, if I typed this out in paragraphs, it would take for ever and get really wordy. In short, it would suck.

Long story short (as humanly possible), I give you:

What I did on my Blog Vacation

(the cliff notes)

•  I attempted to run two blogs. Twice the pressure to get in here. HA!
• My eldest was co-morbidly diagnosed with Asperger's a.k.a. High Functioning Autism
• With new diagnosis came new treatment, therapy, etc.
• Her condition got more apparent and more of a problem in school
• She got her first I.E.P.
• Homework got harder and we spent a lot of time getting it done.
• Simultaneously, some of my friends starting having their own issues.
• I had more and more kiddos at my house after school for homework help and daycare.
• House started looking worse and worse.
• Hubby lost his job.
• My girlfriend lost her job.
• I lost my daycare job because she didn't need me anymore that way.
• My mom's bf lost his trucking job (temporarily due to health) and is here a lot more than
• None of them are back to work yet and it has been months
• The end of the school year is here. Along with it all the end of the year projects.
• Science fair projects suck.
• Homework sucks.
• My daughter is graduating elementary school and will no longer be walking down the block to go to school.
• Prepping for her to go to another school is scary as hell.
• Once school is out, both of my girls have their birthday's to celebrate. (3 days shy of 8 years apart. yeay me.)
• Father's day
• Hubby and I will be celebrating 14 years together shortly there after  
• all 3 kids will be home for 3 months and I don't have a plan or money to pull one off
• The stress from all the above (plus) has thrown off my levels making me very unstable at times.
• That has led to a med change or too.
• oh, and eldest has had a few med changes too, hoping to settle her drastic changes in mood and condition.
• Med changes suck.
• The mood stabilizer was removed to see if she was indeed Bipolar.
• She is.

 

 

I think that is enough for now.  More later.  Hopefully not months now.

 

 

Namaste?
