One Proud Mama!~


I am one proud Mama! My daughter quit school back in January. She didn't like all the drama that goes along with being in high school. She didn't like the fact that jocks made up most of her music class and kept the class disrupted to the point the teacher couldn't even teach the class. A lot of the subjects she was having to take, she had already taken in Colorado and was quite bored. She convinced me, not easily I might add, to let her quit school and get her GED so she could go on to college. I did, but it was not without a lot of soul searching. My baby girl has always marched to the beat of her own drum. She is one of those artistic creative types. I have always tried very hard to encourage that in her. Anyway, to make a long story short, she took the GED on July 7th and passed with flying colors, excelling in English and History. We got the results today. She just got a job, is about to buy her own car, which she is paying for herself, and plans to start Jr. college in the Fall. I am strutting around like a banty rooster! Way to go, CJ! I love you and I am so very proud of you. May God put angels around you to protect you from all evil and harm as you make your way in this world. You have so many talents in which to make the world a better place. Rock on!~

CHRISTmas Miracles Do Happen!~

Our family, tonight, was the recipient of a CHRISTmas Miracle. We were watching TV, the story of Mark David Chapman, the man who shot John Lennon, when we received a knock on our door. It was two of my nephews and a great nephew with two HUGE boxes. I asked them what they were doing, they said, "Delivering your CHRISTmas." It was so unexpected, I didn't know what to say. Nobody really knows the extent of how bad things have been for us lately. We have lived off of boxed mac and cheese mixed with tuna or Rice-A-Roni mixed with a small can of chicken. Some nights, we might have pasta, but without the meat. We have had egg sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches. I have actually lost about 8 pounds, which I needed to lose, but I do not recommend doing it this way. I hugged my nephews and told them thank you. They told us Merry CHRISTmas and left. It was just that quick. When I opened the boxes, there were wrapped gifts. I did not have one gift under our tree for either of ...

WHAT IT IS LIKE TO HAVE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN

It is hard to put into words what it is like to have a mental breakdown. Not only is it hard to try and describe what it is like, but it is hard to talk about because you fear how people are going to react to you. So many mentally ill people have to deal with the stigma attached to the words mental illness, and end up being treated like they have leprosy. While it isn’t easy to tell my story, I feel compelled to do so.  First of all, writing is therapy for me, but I also feel like it will let others like me know that they are not alone. Perhaps, it may even help family and friends understand what it is like to live inside the mind of someone who is mentally ill, and what it is like to have a breakdown. I have been hospitalized a total of three times due to mental breakdowns.  When I was much younger, they were called nervous breakdowns, I prefer the newer term. As for what it is like, I will do my best to try and explain. Believe me, if you have never suffered from one, you...
