About Me
On 2/21/08 my life changed forever due to an accident I was in. You can read about it under my support group headings. On 4/21/08 I had another life changing event, in that I lost my best friend, my mom. I am married to a wonderful man who is my soul mate and rock. I have 3 adorable boys who keep me running. I am also a first grade teacher. I have always had a zest for life and love people. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I live in a wonderful community where life is simple but fulfilling. I'm also an internet junkie which is how I found this site.

Interests
Until recently I enjoyed spending time with family and friends. I spent my life running 3 boys to football, basketball, baseball, and motocross. I love going to UT football games and enjoy watching Lady Vols and men's basketball teams. Road trips and travelling are the best. I adore the beach and lake in the summer and like to be out in the sunshine looking at the mountains. Recently have become an addict of Texas Hold Em. Vegas is my fav. get away. Huge music fan. Jimmy Buffett is my fav. Love 70s and 80s music.

High Five
I agree with what you said about teacher/learner go hand in hand!! They do! We learn something every day of our lives and we teach those around us something (whether good or bad) everyday. ALso, if you are a Teacher then you really are teaching/learning something everyday!! Are you a Teacher? I am a Teacher for Special Needs children

Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I think i have PTSD. I was involved in a car accident 5 weeks ago. This link describes what happened http://www.timesnews.net/article.php?id=9005247. I am looking for some coping skills.

Close Accidents
I had a horrible accident with my 3 kids that was not my fault.My youngest was unresponsive and airlifted from the scene.It was touch and go for about 36 hrs. He spent 10 days in picu and by the grace of god he is recovering from just a spleen rupture. I have a dislocated facture and 3rd dgr sprain in my left foot. my accident should never have happened. i put my car in the ditch to avoid the maniac who came head on to us at 80mph. Looking for support on getting my life back after this mess.
Open Insomnia
Since my accident I have had very few nights of complete and solid sleep.
Treatments
- Counting Sheep Not Working
- I will count backwards at night. Seems to stress me out more than help.
- Trazodone Considering
- My mom uses this for her Crohns. And it seems to work.
Open Diets & Weight Maintenance
I have always been chunky. Until the birth of my 3rd child I worked out so I would be strong and look and felt good even though I weighed more than I should. My pounds have added up over winter but when spring hit i would start working out and get back in shape. Five weeks ago I was in a bad car accident that left me with a broken foot. Spring is here and I can't workout and the lbs are packing on like crazy. i'm really distraught and need to do something about it.
Treatments
- Atkins Diet Not Working
- Tried this a few years ago. I was exhausted all the time and got tired of eating the same things all the time.
- Counting Calories Working / Worked
- This has worked when i restrict to 1200 calories and write everything down. It quits working when outside things occur like cookouts or PMS. I also get lazy about writing things down.
- South Beach Diet Somewhat Helpful
- Didn't do this as long due to the complexity of the types of food I need something simple.
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- Works when i am motivated but as soon as i stop going the pounds pack on and sometimes i weigh more than i did when i first started.
- Phentermine Working / Worked
- This worked for me when i did it but as soon as i stopped going and taking the medication the lbs came back. Plus it was expensive. I did love the energy i gave but worry about the long term effects on my body.
Open Pet Bereavement
It has almost been a year since my family lost our 14 year old pound puppy.I was pregnant with my twins when I got her because I was lonely. My husband was in the Navy and we were in HI. She was the only dog my boys knew and she was my best friend. I can still hear her nails clicking on the hardwood whenever I would come home. I miss that greeting.
Open Twins, Triplets & More
I am the mother of 14 year old twins.
