On the Road Again....

Since we're going to be on the road most of the day bringing the IL's back home I thought I would leave you with the crazy random thought's that run through my mind throughout the day. (with pictures) Aren't you lucky?? 

When I find a new blog that I like, especially the one's from CCWA. I go back and read every single entry (unless it's like 300 entries!) like it's crack. I mean, does that mean that I'm a blog entry whore too? Does anyone else do that? Tell me I'm not the only one who does!

Don't you hate it when you're reading a new blog and your (obsessivly) reading all their entries and then you come to one that is password protected?? I wanna know what's in there, but you don't want to be rude and say "Hey, I'm a new reader, give up the password yo!" But I must say, I do understand the need for the whole password protected thing! I totally wish blogger had that feature!

So I have something crazy going on with my left arm. My hand goes numb and tingly and I have crazy muscles spasms in my upper arm. The only thing that makes it go away is by raising my left arm like I'm the suck up in the classroom who's trying to get the teacher to pick me. When I told my MIL this she said "That's good that it helps!" I'm like "Yeah...I can't go around with my arm stuck up in the air like a damn idiot." *shakes head*

 

Really...this is what I look like. Well ok, I don't look like the kid. But I do have to sit there with my hand all up in the air like I'm playing teachers pet or something!

For some reason one of my dogs keeps trying to hump the other dog. The other dog then gets all gangsta on her and starts growling like she's Cujo or something! 

 

Not my pug.

   

Also not my pug. But too cute to NOT add.

    

My pug...yeah, not so gangsta now are we?

She's a pug...bitch please! 

They're both girls, they're sisters. 

 

Also my pug.

She's a freak ho! Come on...she even looks like a little perv!! A cute perv but still.

Does anyone else's dogs do this?

What is it with people lately? Am I the only one who has a "personal space" issue? 

Can you not talk to me without getting up in my face? I mean like two inches from my nose? (can you say tic tac?) I mean seriously back the 'eff up, you're fuckin' up my feng shui!

I have to know if other people do this...I will be sitting on the couch watching tv and all of a sudden a "thought" will pop into my head that I just HAVE to put in my blog. So I write notes on notepad so I can remember them. Do any of you sit while you're doing mudane things and write blog entries in your head? No? Ok...I'm weird!

So how many people are loving CCWA as much as me? What a great idea the girls over there had. It's bringing some great bloggers together. I've loved reading the featured bloggers so far! Thanks girls! For a long time I've felt like I didn't have a "home" since the site that I was blogging on closed, and a great friend told me about blogger. I have to say, I've never felt more welcome, more accepted or more loved! So to all of my readers...thank you so much! You don't (no really, you don't) know how much it means to me!

Late this afternoon my Godchild/Neice began messaging me on Blackberry Messenger. First I'd like to say that she and I haven't always had the best of relationships. I've always been the Aunt/Nannie that would jump in her shit when she was giving her mom trouble when she was younger. So today when she started messaging me it made me feel really good that she turned to me for advice.

She has a 5 month old baby and things aren't going so good for her finance right now. She's unhappy but wants to make it work for the sake of their daughter. He's unhappy. Period. He's not even trying to make it work. I tried to be supportive. I tried to tell her that she can try to make it work till the cows come home but unless he's willing to work at it too, then it's never going to work. That she can't be responsible for his happiness. All she can be responsible for is making sure that she and her daughter are happy. God I hope I told her the right things! But I also hope she listens. That she finds her happiness.

Well that's all I have! I guess you should consider yourselves lucky. Just sayin!

My Momma always said "God don't like ugly!"

I don't have a whole lot to say today (aren't ya happy?) just a few tidbit that's been on the tip of my tongue.

*My ex quite his job 1 day before he would have gotten a $20,000.00 bonus. Hey dickhead...remember when I told you that God don't like ugly? Can I just say hehehe...sucks to be you! (He didn't know anything about the bonus!)

*Tomorrow we will be leaving to bring my in laws home. It's going to be a long road trip for us. We'll leave it at that.

*I wrote an entry the other day about having Fibromyalgia. Though I may throw myself pity parties from time to time I don't want anyone to take that entry the wrong way. I have way more good days than bad. There are so many people out there who are suffering more than I could ever imagine. It was more to explain to people what Fibrobmyalgia is, there are alot of people who've heard of it but don't really know what it really is or feels like. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked "What does it feel like?"

*I continue to be amazed every single day by the stories that I read and the people that I meet here on blogger. Some of your stories touch me to my very core. Some of your stories make me laugh until I think I'm gonna pee my pants (oh fuck...tinkles don't count people). I'm so jealous of some of you. I wish I could write the way you do. You're so funny.

*As I sat here and wrote this I've had a pug on each side of me (one attached to each of my legs as I'm sitting crossed legged on the couch) snoring like a couple of 80 year old men. After about 5 minutes of it and I'm ready to pull my hair out lol.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Thank you for taking the time to read my little space in blogland! I appreciate each and every one of you!

Questions and Spirit...

In yesterday's first entry I asked everyone to leave questions that they wanted to ask me and I would post them in my entry today. Thank you to all who left questions, you're the best. Before I answer those questions I have to talk about my second entry yesterday (Yes, I was a blog whore lol).

I wrote up yesterday's entry during one of my pity parties for myself because I was having a flare up with the fibromyalgia. I wasn't going to post it because I didn't want to come off whiny (even though that's what it was), but a couple of people said I should post it, that they didn't know much about Fibromyalgia. So I posted it.

This morning when I ran to my laptop, oh the withdrawals got up I noticed that I had a new follower, so I went and checked out her blog. Bethany is an amazing woman who's strength and faith has inspired me. I'm her new biggest fan. Please...take the time to read her blog, remember to click on the links on the sidebar.

Here I wrote up this big whiny entry about having chronic pain and then I read her story and I realize that I have nothing to complain about. I don't think I "heard" her complain once in that journal. Her spirit truly amazed me.  Really Bethany....YOU ROCK SISTA!

Now...on to the questions that my followers asked:

WannabeVirginia  asked:   Why did you move to North Carolina?
I moved to North Carolina after my husband and I met online. We talked online (and on the phone) for a year before we decided to meet in person. The day he bought his ticket to come to Louisiana to meet me he also bought my plane ticket to move up here. I moved her 19 days after we met.

If you were on a sinking ship with your husband and child who would you save and Why?
Well since my husband was a sailor (navy) for 26 years I would have to say my son. He's young and has a lot of life left to live.

  
Meeko Fabulous asked: What's your favorite movie? 
This is a hard one. I'm a crazy movie person lol. I loved The Hangover. Top Gun (cheesy I know), and The Last Samurai and the first one's that popped into my head.

What do you like on your pizza? 
Well I LIKE pepperoni with mushrooms and black olives, but hubby wont eat that "crap" so we usually just order a meat lovers which is OK with me.

If you were stranded on a desert island . . . What could you abso-freakin-lutely not be able to live without??? :) 
Welllll...I'm guessing I can't have my hubby or son with me right? Then it would have to be my Ipod touch with a lifetime supply of batteries. I would say a book but you can only read the same book so many times before you'd go effin' nuts. :0}

Danica asked:  Have you ever been to Ohio? :-)
Actually I haven't, which is surprising! Growing up an Army brat I've lived in almost every state in the US, Ohio wasn't one of them though lol. 

Chelle asked: What's your favorite nail polish color? 
It's funny you asked this one. My nails are naturally long but to keep them long I have to keep polish on them at all times or they'll break. I'm notoriously known for my bright pink nails. Lol...bubble gum pink, fusha, hot pink, neon pink. But in the fall and winter months I wear "warmer" colors.

What's your favorite shampoo/cond/or hair product?
My hair is usually a bit dry and even when it's not I still use a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. I usually use Bed Head Dumb Blonde. Sometimes I switch it up and use Pantene.

Are you afraid of anything? What? 
YES! The dark! Lol...I know that sounds so childish but I can't stand going outside after dark unless someone is with me. My Sisters were evil always torturing  playing jokes on me and locking me in the basement (the light switch was on the outside of the basement door). Yeah so...I'm scared of the dark. While I'm at it...spiders. Eww eww eww!!

 What type of books do you read? Do you have a fave? 
I usually read mystery/crime type books. I do have a few favorites. James Lee Burke is my absolute fav! He is from my hometown (New Iberia) in Louisiana and his main character is a detective with the Iberia Sheriff's Department. It's really cool to read his books and know exactly what he's talking about when he's describing a certain place he's at! (you should check out his books! love them!!)

James Patterson. Holy hell this man puts out some books. They're always a bit suspenseful. I like books that make me want to get to the next page.

Nicholas Sparks. I don't usually do the whole sappy romance novels but I like his. He's from North Carolina and his books are usually set in NC! 

OK...that's it for all the questions! I just want to brag on my hubby a bit! Apparently when we left the hotel on Monday I left my phone charger there. Last night hubby got on Ebay at work and ordered me a new one. I sent him a text message last night and told him that my Norton (antivirus) expired. I got up this morning and there was a note on top of my laptop that said "Updated your Norton for you, Love you!" How he finds time to do stuff like this while working two jobs (16 hours a day) amazes me. The man takes care of me y'all!
 


  


  

When all is not well...

 *Note: This entry was written this morning. Sorry for the double entry today!

I'm in a bit of a funk today. I'm having a flare up (fibromyalgia). I can hardly walk. From the waist up, I feel fine. From the waist down, not so much. It feels like there is someone/something chewing on the back of my calves, it feels like someone put small bits of gravel in my hips. My skin is so tender that my clothes are hurting me. It hurts to stand, it hurts to sit, it hurts to walk. It hurts. Period. My husbands hugs..hurt.

On "normal" days you can't tell there's anything wrong with me by looking at me. What you don't see is the constant, traveling pain. The muscle aches, the spasms, the weakness. There isn't a single day that goes by that I'm not in pain. Some days it's just more "bearable" than others. You know how your whole body hurts when you get the flu? Multiply that by about 50 and that's what I feel on a "normal" day.

This shit moves around. One minute it can be my legs that hurt, then it moves to my arms and my legs are fine, then my back, then my shoulders, then my neck...you see where I'm going with this right? Changes in the weather seem to be a major factor in my flare ups. Other than that I couldn't tell you what brings on a flare up.

I have extreme (and also traveling) muscle weakness. I'll be holding something in my hand and suddenly drop it. Walking from our truck into a store/the mall takes everything I have in me. By the time we get inside my legs are burning, cramping, and weak. They're actually wobbly. Think of a rubber band that has been stretched out to far, then when it comes back to normal size it's all stretched out. That's how my muscles feel after a short walk.

There are several conditions that I'm blessed with that come along with the fibro. Let's list them:

CFS- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Most people means that you're tired all the time, that is part of it. But it also means that I can't.sleep.ever without the help of drugs. I've been that way since I was a little kid. I've taken 2 ambien and still stayed up all night, all day the next day and finally fall asleep at 2 the next day!

Migraines - they come on suddenly and they're often debilitating. Nothing helps usually. I just have to let it run it's course.

IBS - Irritable bowel syndrome. I'm sure we all know what this joy one means.

Fibro Fog - Consist of fatigue, listlessness, confusion, poor attention and concentration and short-term memory loss.

When all of this first started and I went to the dr I was tested for more shit than you can imagine. You see alot of people (including dr's) think the pain you're experiencing is "all in your head!" I was lucky enough that my dr in Louisiana knew quite a bit about it, so when I walked in and told him what was going on with me he immediately said "It sounds like you have Fibromyalgia, but we're going to do some testing for other things just to be on the safe side!" I'd never even heard the word Fibromyalgia before that day! 

They tested me for MS (omg...you think I have MS??), I was tested for Lupus (omg...you think I have Lupus?). Waiting for those test results were some of the hardest days of my life.  

Once all of the testing was done and all the results were in I was told that (along with Fibromyalgia) I have degenerative disk disease, dehydration of the disk, narrowing of the spinal column, and Chiari Malformation. Though I think the link on that is a bit confusing so I'll explain it like my dr did to me. It's a birth defect in where part of my brain is sticking out of the opening at the back of my skull and is protruding into my spinal canal.

WTH? That was a lot to hear and it freaked me the eff' out! Especially the brain thing. I'd had MRI's before and no one even mentioned it! I drove home in a state of shock. Also...googling all of these different "conditions" did not help me one little bit! (NEVER google anything a dr tells you that you have...it will scare the bejeezus out of you!)

No one is sure what causes Fibromyalgia though there are several theories. The few that I've heard are traumatic injuries (car accidents, assaults, etc), women who have had hysterectomy's seem to get it, Vitamin K deficiencies. There's also no known cure. Treatment varies with each patient. I know people who have it that are on heavy pain meds like mophine, methadone, and oxycontin. I've never been on anything that strong.

Actually I don't even take the pain meds (Ultram) that the dr has me on right now. They don't work. And she doesn't seem to want to give me anything stronger. I do take Lyrica (which seems to be helping somewhat), and I do take muscle relaxers (flexeril) every day. Those two meds combined seem to help with the everyday pain. I've tried asking the dr for something stronger that I can use only when I'm having a flare up. She wasn't budging. She seems to think that our current course of treatment is good enough. I have an appointment with her next week though and we're going to have to rethink a few of my options.

There are some days when I just want to give up. There are (lots of) days when I say "why me?" But I try to not dwell on it because it doesn't get me anywhere. Having my own pity party is lonely lol.

Sometimes I think that the worst part of having Fibromyalgia is having to cancel plans with someone at the last minute (after a while they just stop asking you to do anything with them). It's extremely lonely when I'm having a flare up. Sometimes I just wish there was someone to just sit and watch movies with me when I'm stuck in bed. (Hubby does this when he's home...he's great like that) It's hard to be stuck at home in bed feeling sorry for myself when you feel like life is going on outside without you. Ok so maybe I have a pity party every now and then lol.

So I said I wasn't going to post this but a few people told me that I should post it. And a few even told me that they didn't know much about Fibromyalgia (I guess at this point I can say that I call it fibro fuckers! lol). Not many people do. If you're still reading this you deserve a gold star and brownie points lol!! Here ya go!

 

  

I hope I've answered any questions you may have had about Fibromyalgia. If not...feel free to ask!
 

It's Whatevs...

I wrote up this huge entry about me having a flare up (fibromyalgia) and that I'm in a major fibro fog today. But really....who wants to hear it? I hate complaining, I always feel like it comes of as whining...which I hate. I've been dealing with fibromyalgia for about 7 years now. Not to mention all the other conditions that come along with it. You would think I was past the point of complaining lol.  So I saved that entry as a draft, I doubt I'll ever publish it though.

The weather is nasty here again. They're even talking about the possibility of snow. As much as I love snow, I'm not excited about it this time. I know the weather is a factor in this damn flare up, hell it's probably what's causing it.

I'm always curious about what other bloggers want to know about me. I've decided to do a whole question and answer entry! If you have any questions you'd like to ask me...about anything (no topic is off limits) please leave them in my comments and I'll answer all of them in a blog entry!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!  Much love.

Five Things You May Not Know About Me

1. I love to cook. I cook mostly cajun foods, you know...gumbo, jambalaya, that kind of stuff.

3. I'm somewhat crafty. I've started crocheting an afgan for my son. Haven't finished it yet. Then I started  knitting a baby blanket for my Nephew's son. He's a year old...I haven't finished it yet. Noticing a theme? lol..

 1. Single Mom Says... 

2. The Mother Load  

3. The Peterson Family 

4. The Starnes Family 

5. The Wifey Blogs 

Wow! I didn't realize how much work these awards are! Lol...I've tried to give them all to different people. I don't think I gave the same person two...but I could be wrong.

Instead of writing a seperate blog entry I'll just add to this one. Our wedding weekend was amazing. Other than the face that we NEVER got hot water, well ok we did get hot water in our hotel room...the morning we were checking out. We've sent "nasty grams" to Travelocity and Comfort Inn. I doubt we'll even hear back from them.

The wedding was beautiful and so damn touching. To see my big ol' tough biker looking hubby  break down during the father/daughter dance almost broke my heart. There wasn't a dry eye in the whole place. His oldest daughter sat in her chair just sobbing...which made me sob like a blubbering idiot! I got drunk as hell and ended up busting my ass outside in front of a bunch of people lol.

Hope you all have a wonderful day! My work here isn't done! Now I have to go notify all of these people that I've passed these awards onto them! Then I've got to run to the store, I'm making some gumbo for supper tonight! Yum.

Much love! 

  

What a beautiful wedding....

Wow! I honestly don't think I've ever been to a wedding that was more beautiful than Mr Man's daughter's wedding. I'd been stressing for weeks because I honestly didn't know where my "place" was. Mr Man's ex wife and daughter both made sure that I felt included in every aspect of the wedding. It made me feel so good, like I'm really a part of the family. Not that I didn't feel like a part of the family before...but you know what I mean.

I'll try to keep the pics in order. Hope you enjoy them.

 

The bride with her pig. Her Dad gave her that pig the day she was born. She still sleeps with it and it goes everywhere with her.

The groomsmen...gettin' a little captin' in 'em!

  

Their first dance.

  

So in love.

  

The brides dance with Mr Man. It started out good enough.

  

But then Mr Man started breaking down. I've never seen a more tender moment.

  

Until this...he was ballin' his eyes out! So were we. There wasn't a dry eye in the place.

  

Neice dancing. She's so damn cute.

  

The ring bearer and his Mom cuttin' a rug! That little boy could dance! You should have seen him do the splits! Lol... All eyes were on him on the dance floor.

  

This was so damn cute. When it came time for the groom to take the gater belt off of the bride he came out to the theme of Mission Impossible. 

  

If you look closely you can see him cutting a flip behind her onto the floor. He was taking this mission seriously! Only a sailor lol.

  

He's getting there.

  

Lol...he had the whole place laughing!

  

Mr Man and I at the beginning of the night.

  

Our neice and I.

  

Mr Man and his oldest daughter again.

  

Mr Man's oldest daughter and I.

  

Oldest daughter with my Sister In Law.

  

These were one of the party favors. And it's totally true. I got SMASHED. I didn't mean to get so drunk but good Lord did I!!!! I actually fell down outside when we were getting ready to leave lol. I didn't hurt anything, except my pride. Mr Man had to undress me and put me to bed. Whew...I haven't been that drunk in a long time. I'm embarrassed that I did though. But hell...everyone had fun!

Mr Man's ex did an amazing job planning this wedding. It was perfect. There were no problems, everything just went smoothly...perfect!!

I'll leave you with this...

Much love!
