It's been a busy couple of weeks! About 2 weeks ago I went to spend the weekend with a friend. After my own unintentional (and thankfully unsucessful) shot at "NASCAR" driving on country roads, I finally made it to the amazing farm my friend and his family live on. I always have such an AMAZING time when I go see this particular friend that I always come away wondering "why"? I'll leave it at that for now, but honestly, I always have the BEST time with this friend and hope there are more times down the road (although not the NASCAR road haha) to get together!!

My son spent the weekend with me last weekend. I was soooo nervous before he even set foot in the house! It has literally been almost a year since we had been under the same roof. There was a lot to be worried about in my mind, so I did what I do best and worry..... Thankfully, the weekend turned out WAY better then I could've hoped for. We may have turned a corner, but it is too early to tell if this is actually going to get the "happy ending" or not.

Somehow I'm thinking this weekend may actually be a let down from the last 2 weekends of excitement. I'm sure I'll be able to keep myself busy, but with every thing that has been going on recently, it's going to be interesting not having something "big" going on. Hhhhmmm.....maybe I'll just sleep! :D

News that turned out good

I got a call the other day from my doctor that one of my tests didn't come back to good and could I come in and see him. "Sure," I said trying not to sound worried. Ok, so we all know I worry about everything and I knew what the "bad" test results meant. So, I go in yesterday taking my mom for moral support. Doctor comes in, looks at my lab results and note from previous doctor and realizes he made a mistake! Can I just say I have NEVER been more happy than I was yesterday about a doctor making a mistake!!
Good news in short is my auto-immune/musclar disease is STILL in "remission" (or not active at this time) which means even more I don't have to start taking prednisone again! THANK GOD!!!!!!!! Sure, it has helped get everything under control when I have taken it, but it also makes me gain 400lbs (or feels like it), and causes me to be mean and cranky. So glad things turned out to be good news. We will hope for the same in 6 months when I have to have the "normal" blood work done.
In other news, Tomorrow the first nine weeks of school is over. It doesn't seem like I have been "in school" for that long. Time sure flies when you're (sorta) having fun! Actually, I really do like my job and am having a great time with the kiddos I'm working with.

Remember me??

I'm 2 months into my "new" job and loving it! The school and the kids are a lot of fun!! I'm really drained when I get home in the evenings and have started going to bed early because of it. I'm still doing some of my other activities, but I've had to cut back too.
I was having a lot of trouble with my depression recently, but that seems to be doing better for now. I guess a lot of it has to do with not being done working through "the process" of a couple things have happened in my life over the last couple years. Every time I think I'm done with the "process" something comes back to bite me in the butt, so then I have to re-group. Some times I just feel so lonely and that gets me really down! Thank god for meds I suppose.....AND good friends!!!!
I'm going to try and blog more often. I do know that writing as always helped, so I'm going to make an effort to blog more often. It may not be very exciting, but I'll give it a shot!
