New name.......same story

I think I jinxed our family by calling 2013 our year so I am changing the name but I will still continue to write about our challenges and successes as we navigate through 2014.

Daddy's Little Girl

Today is a day that is hard for me whether I am bipolar or not.  My husband lost his uncle two years ago today.  To watch his cousin, Jessie go through that, even from afar was difficult because I love Jessie as if she were my own cousin and with Facebook we have become more and more close over time.  So the interesting thing about my blog is that it just talks about life as I pass through it, as anyone passes through it. Looking back to two years ago, I am going to share my Facebook status from that day.  I had just come home from my sister's wedding in San Diego and it was what should have been a very happy time for us as a family.  It turned sad and heartbreaking quickly.

The thing was, and until now only Dan knew this, I felt a very st...

Why is this significant you may ask?  Well, because most of my significant middle school memories are of her and her family,  They were like a second family to me.  I spent every weekend with them because her family ran a booth at Seven Mile Fair and we would sleepover often to stay with the booth.  Now this not may seem like fun to you but think of your 12 or 13 year old self and you would have to admit that it would be a blast.  On top of all this fun, I got paid to work the booth ($10 a day I think, lol). ...

Gratitute Attitude: A Reason to be Grateful

It's Saturday which means it is time for another installment of my Gratitude Attitude.... 1.  I am grateful for Kimmie....she keeps me sane.  That's a hard job because I feel like I am drowning a lot.  I am glad that she always reaches her hand out to pull me to sanity. 2.  I am grateful that I survived this week....it simply sucked. 3.  I am grateful for my job.  They appreciate my positive nature and are working hard to accommodate my ever changing needs as I prepare for surgery. 4.  I am grateful for the confidence I feel in the doctors as I prepare to have my knee replaced.  Their pro-active nature calms my nerves. 5. I am grateful for Lorri because she helped me through my surgery prep appointment and sometimes we find friends where we didn't know we had them. 6.  I am grateful for my strength because it gets me through the darker days. 7.  I am grateful for Amanda because she has not been my friend forever but she has...
