  • I'll miss you

    Monday, April 28, 2008 | A Painful story

    I was feeling strong
    I was feeling like I had fight
    I had a positive attitude
    Now, I’m lost
    I feel like I’ve lost faith in the system
    I’ve lost faith in myself
    I have no strength
    I can’t fight
    I want to die
    I want to die
    I want to die
    I think dying would be easier
    I’m mad because I want to watch my daughter grow up
    But I feel like I can’t face the world any longer
    I’m ...

    He got away with it!  There will be no trial.  The Prosecutor gave him a plea deal and he and his attorney countered for a lesser plea and the Prosecutor accepted it.  The plea was for Misdemeanor Assault with a lifetime No Contact Order.
    It's over!  I'm hurt and upset....
    I'm trying to find the positive in all of this - we could have made it all the way through the ...

  • It just hit me like a semi.

    Saturday, July 26, 2008 | A Painful story

     Already taken night meds so bear with me if it's a little uneven in the sensical kind of way. I spent the rest of my day distracting myself with the Sims Castaway game which is so fun but...The magnititude of what the Dr told me, and what I looked up to explain the MRI results really hit me...I am in tears...sobbing, feeling more helpless then ever before and terrified of whats to come....

  • It's Over

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Painful story

    It's over girls... my lining was only about a 4 and I had one follicle.  I don't know what my E2 is, but it really doesn't matter.  This cycle is going to be cancelled and then they are going to tell me I am in premature ovarian failure at 33. 
    I am trying not to be devestated, but I am.
    This is the end of the road for us... I have no eggs, DH has no sperm.  We hav...

  • Lost in a Masquerade

    Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | A Painful story

    Lost in a Masquerade
    Every day I put on my mask.
    I smile and laugh.
    I act like nothing is wrong;
    Like nothing happened.
    You can’t see the hole in my heart
    The brokenness of my soul.
    It is hidden behind the mask.
    I am lost in a masquerade.
    I play the game
    No one knows the pain
    I endure each and every day
    With a smile plastered on my face.
    The mask hides it all.
    I am lost in a masquerade.
    I listen to sto...

A friend at work knows someone who is young and is pregnant with her 5th child and her youngest is 3 months old. the mom is in jail, but not for drugs. My friend thinks she wants to give up the baby she is preg...

  • 5th time is not a charm

    Sunday, February 8, 2009 | A Painful story

    Well I woke up this morning with really bad cramps, took a digital test and it said negative. So went to the ER and my HCG went from 26 two days ago to 25 so its offical. Another miscarraige. Well I guess it now confirms with us 100% that I have to do IVF with my sister as the egg donor to have a baby. I'm glad I found out today and didn't have to wait till Tuesday. Now I can let go of th...

    My pain was so bad yesterday, I just couldn't control it with my usual meds.
