    Tuesday, February 26, 2008 | A Rambling story

    Today i am feeling lost....
    I feel like i can be doing so much more with my kids but my depression stops me dead in my tracks. I am so tired and bored that i let it seep into my life with my kids.
    How have i gotten this way, all i wanted to be when i grew up was a full time mom, never did  i think i would have a hard time with it all.
    It's like what do we do? I can not drive on my own as of...

    Wednesday, March 12, 2008 | A Rambling story

    I'm taking a break. Since six this morning, I have helped make fifty - count 'em, fifty! - lemon meringue pies with Lisa. Her baking business is doing very well and now with a sous chef (moi!) she proposes to take on more clients.
    Next: sixteen mega-huge lasagnas for the Eagles Lodge tonight. We're invited to stay for bingo. Lisa makes a mean lasagna, but Karen has been bragging about...

  • What I've Learned Since You've Been Gone

    Sunday, August 10, 2008 | A Rambling story

     
    Hey Sweetheart,
    Just me again.  I was thinking about you today as I always do and suddenly for some reason it popped into my head to write this to you.  I hope you know how much I love you...
    I have learned alot about myself since that day you left.  I learned that I could stand beside your hospital bed and kiss you goodbye and feel like it was the most natural thing in the wor...

  • Yucky Monday

    Monday, September 8, 2008 | A Rambling story

     
    According to the weather forecast it looks like we might miss Ike afterall, which I'm sure brings a sigh of relief to all concerned.  Minus the high winds, I feel like I've been hit by a storm surge today or just a good old tidal wave that suddenly washed in and knocked me over.  I haven't gone through or felt like this for a few weeks but today it just ...

  • Just Thinking Again

    Sunday, September 14, 2008 | A Rambling story

     
    Since I joined this site on February 6 of this year, one month and 2 days after my husband died on January 4, 2008, I have learned so much and met so many good and lovely people.  I actually was visiting the site before I joined but I guess I was just too insecure, shaky or shy to say anything so I waited awhile before actually joining.  Once I did, I read alot of discussion posts...

  • Thinking...too much?

    Monday, October 13, 2008 | A Rambling story

     
    It occurred to me recently that I spend an awful lot of time thinking - probably because I lack the motivation to do much of anything else.  Because I'm constantly lost in thought, I found myself wondering, if only...all that thinking could do as much as what physical activity can do to help you get your body into shape.  If only it could, I'd be doing great as far as bein...

  • Confused

    Wednesday, October 15, 2008 | A Rambling story

    *insert text*
    *delete text*
    *mull*
    ...
    *repeat*
    I feel sufforcated, trapped, supressed.
    Cornered.
    This is what eating does to me.
    When I lose control with food, I lose control of every other aspect.
    I become tired, weak, depressed and sufforcated by stress.
    I become angry and self-distructive, for no reason at all.
    No real reason, anyway.
    This is simply how eating makes me feel now.
    If I eat more then 1 meal ...

  • The year 2008. healthwise.

    Tuesday, December 30, 2008 | A Rambling story

    2008 has certainly been and up and down year for me. It has been more of a down year though.
    As some of you know, I was diagnosed with Hepatitis B in March. The months to follow proved to be a rollercoaster ride with my health. Most of the time I felt that the ride was continuously downhill.
    Fortunately it shifted gear and now my health is at a constant speed. I am now Hep B free.
    As a result of my...

  • Journal Entry for June 8, 2009

    Monday, June 8, 2009 | A Rambling story

     
    I've been reading with alot of interest a discussion that is going on written by Lori and as I read the responses of all of the widows who are at different stages of their grief it's been very enlightening.  I have been having a really rough time the past couple of weeks and this is a step backwards for me which I know is perfectly normal.  But what I don't like about ...

  • Journal Entry for June 13, 2009

    Saturday, June 13, 2009 | A Rambling story

     
    I had a long talk with a very good friend of mine here on DS tonight and during the course of the conversation we discussed the difference between how I feel at almost 18 months into this and her being just past the 1 year mark.  I remember the one year anniversary of my husband's death.  It was one of the most difficult few days I'd experienced aside from the day he died,...
