Hey everyone... I'm excited that you are considering to view my blog. I won't be able to say that it will suit everyone, but I can guess a lot of you will know where i'm coming from. I was a 32 year old mother of two girls. A southern lady. I was super busy, family, marriage, church, softball, cheerleading, a high paying job for this area. Go Go Go! That was my motto. And then... WHAM, something devestating happened in my life. I had been a border line diabetic since I was a child, but I really didn't pay that much attention to it. You know how it goes, life can take you for a ride. My diabetes spiralled out of control and so did everything else. I'm now 37. I had to quit to my job and was told by my doctors that driving a car was out of the picture for awhile, since I could pass out at any time. I got a divorce (we all know how that can be). I went from a high end income to pretty much nothing. I have to take medication several times a day, diet and exercise are recommended. At first anxiety and depression ruled the day. But this blog isn't about all that... It's about what you do AFTER your life falls apart. It's about making changes you don't want to make. It's about living a different life than what you're used to. Life is what you make it and i've decided to quit feeling sorry for myself and make it pretty darn good!!

Join me here and we'll see how it goes...

Now what???

I made a decision about Allison's use of the word "gay". She honestly didn't know the word meant, but that wasn't really the overall point. I have talked to the girls a lot about how parents do certain things in order to "teach" them to be better people. One of things that I specifically worked on was name calling or saying things about others that are hurtful or meant to cause a negative reaction. This was obviously one of those things and regardless of what he did to her first...

Are you sure you know what that "word" means?

Well we certainly had interesting night on Sunday. My two daughters when to youth meeting at church. My sister's husband is the pastor and they usually come pick them up and take them for me. Well, lo and behold my youngest daughter got in trouble. LOL which is not necessairly unusual for her. It was the circumstances that got me. Apparently my sister's son had been giving her a bit of a hard time and she obviously was trying to get back at him, but when she did, she had no idea what a stir it would...

Living On The Edge...? The Edge Of What?

Posted 01-11-2008 at 01:43 PM by Justpeachy36
What does that mean? Living on the edge? Edge of what? I always have to ask... Apparently, I had to find out the hard way, LOL! Which isn't unusual, since as my boyfriend Scott would say, "You are the most hard-headed female, God ever chose to create!" I had been living with Diabetes practically my whole life. But, I really hadn't noticed. I knew I was border-line. I knew I should eat better. I probably should exercise. But, I really didn't have time for all that. I was busy, active,...
