Originally posted 2019-04-29 18:27:58. This week is the start of more Hurricane Florence damage repair. FINALLY! Bittersweet for sure. Tylenol and ibuprofen will be my friends even more than normal as this will kick my allergies into high gear. BUT they will likely be here all week. Which means the dogs will have to be outside…ALOT. Good thing we bought a kennel from Tractor Supply along with a roof cover and all-weather panels (we still…

Is this near the end?

Originally posted 2017-11-17 10:06:19. I got a phone call from my bio father’s “girlfriend” just a bit ago. He has been in the hospital for several weeks now. It seems last night he took a turn for the worse. He stopped wanting to eat ~ even if being fed. They are considering a feeding tube. He spiked a fever of 102 and feel that he may have a touch of pneumonia. So they have started…

Snail’s pace

Originally posted 2019-04-24 16:43:01. Grieving while being the mother and caregiver to someone with autism is hard as hell. Dusty watches me 24/7. He sees me crying, mad, frustrated, etc I can’t escape. All the while trying to repair hurricane florence damage. I have been going to my local massage envy every few weeks for a deep tissue massage. It has helped tremendously from a physical standpoint but not really helped mentally. I need an…

Tired for a reason?

Why the hell am I ALWAYS TIRED! Like seriously… I wake up tired… I am consistently tired throughout the day no matter what I do. Now, I did go get some blood work done and my iron storing ability is zilch… like almost non existent. So for now I am taking iron supplements but have to watch it because since I take pain meds the risk off over constipation is there. I say “over” because…

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

You know… there are times when I truly just can’t with my son… Here he is 30 years old and sometimes he acts like he’s six years old. He has been throwing tantrums like a little kid. He has been going outside in the backyard, dropping his pants/drawers and peeing 🤦🏼‍♀️ I can only imagine the horror if any of my neighbors were watching. Granted we do have six foot fence but my neighbor behind…

Dreams so Real

Originally posted 2018-07-19 22:07:31. Boy, my daughter and I both had some whoppers on the same night. Mine – I dreamt my house was on fire. This is what I remember. I awoke (in dream) to noise outside. Except it was daytime. I look out our sliding glass door to traffic backed up the street leading out of the neighborhood. So I then go out my front door. There is a tree in my front…
