About Me
I'm involved with a significant other. We are very much in love. He's my rock! I am a teacher and LOVE it. I love my kids, and very protective of them. I have a wonderful, and supportive family!! I have Bipolar 1, Panic Attacks w/ Agoraphobia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and ADHD. I love spending time with my family. They are lots of fun, and full of laughs. I've been suffering with panic attacks since I was 9. Doctors didn't know what to do. Panic attacks weren't heard of back then. Diagnosed with Bipolar 1 in my early thirties. . I have a lot of interests, but can't do them because of my panic attacks. I go through derealization. Things feel not real nor people. It's like I'm in a dream.

Interests
I love talking to my boyfriend, listening to music, enjoy a good movie, go out to dinner, take walks, have a nice iced coffee at McDonalds, and be with my wonderful family! I Love football, and watching it with my dad (GO Pats!!) and Ohio State! I'm just learning to play golf, and love it. As you can tell, I'm a huge Stevie Nicks fan :)

Still working on getting my water straightened out after the hydrofracturing. A friend that is a plumber has been working on my water heater, trying to flush it out since it is full of orange-colored sediment from the hydrofracturing. I think the well guy screwed up and didn't remove the major part of the sediment like he was supposed to with another pump, and I think the hot water heater is ruined, since all the flushing that has been done has not helped it enough. My plumber is ready to give up on it, now, and I have been saying since yesterday that I think we have to replace it...the filter on the water that was put on yesterday is brown already (!) but the cold water is clear, I just hope it stays that way. It is a paper filter and the plumber is changing it shortly to the carbon one. It is supposed to last three months or more, but I don't know since the paper one is awfully dirty already. Once the hot water tank is replaced (hopefully this week) I should be able to use the dishwasher and not have anything rusty or ruined. I feel like I have been camping out in my house not being able to use the hot water without rinsing things off with cold water. I did do some wash today in cold water and it went well, nothing discolored! Good thing I didn't use any appliances with the sediment-filled water or I would have trashed them, too! Getting expensive with all this, but other than this, the house is great! My daughter came over and helped me hang pictures yesterday and it really looks nice. I couldn't decide on my own where I wanted things hung but she was really a big help and all are hung now! I love the way it looks, very cozy and homey.
Well, I did get two loads of laundry done, my leaves off my walkway and deck and stairs earlier, and a little cleaning done, so, even though it is 5pm and I haven't gotten in the shower yet, I feel I have gotten a lot accomplished, including deciding with the plumber what we are going to do next. My biggest worry right now is that the filter won't last very long and it will get more expensive replacing the filters every couple of weeks instead of every couple of months. The filters cost about $50-60 each....always something to worry about, I guess, when it comes to a house....
Did I see you say that you are going on your second year anniversary with Donnie?!! Take your time with things, if they are right they will work out. Maybe if I had taken more than the year and waited I wouldn't have ended up married to my husband and my life wouldn't have gotten so messed up like it did. Who knows. Time will weed out all the problems I guess one way or the other. For both of us, right?! Smiles...
Thank you for being here and being my friend, and much love to you, Katey! Keep in touch! And thanks again!

Hey my sister. Glad to see things going well for you. I love that you spend so much time with your dad. Don't forget to pick his brain for advice and his take on your anxiety. Parents who take the time to listen to us...well, they give great advice.
Things are going well at the store. I put the shelves up yesterday and filled much of the stock. It's looking more like a candy store now.
I took my wedding band off last week after a huge arguement with Ken. It's been a long time coming too. He's bugging me to put it back on....I don't want to Katey. I feel better with it off and I don't know if that makes sense. Troubling times ahead...I can feel it in my soul.
I'm going to be busy this week with preparing gift baskets and goodies for Xmas gifts. Hope I sell alot.
Miss you dearly and hope one day, you and I will meet one another. You're so genuine. I don't find that too often. Those friends are few and far between. Love to you Katey. Your mom remains in my prayers as well as you my friend. I pray your anxiety lightens up....:)
Love, Barb-Detroit

Hi sweet katey! i hope you are enjoying a lovely day! I hope you've managed to do your housework and are resting lots and chilling out. I hope that Donnie is okay sweetie if you don't mind me asking? Aww thank you for saying hi to your dad for me. He's the best! I'm so glad you have each other and so glad you enjoyed a lovely coffee. I'm cheering for your football team today Katey and i hope they win. Let me know how the game goes? I will be working this tuesday. Only 2 more days until i start my job tuesday. I am really nervous but looking forward to it! Thanks sweetie for all your love and support and like i said you will all be with me in spirit and when i get home i will log on to DS and let you know how it went. I threw up again today unfortunatly. i think it could be a mixture of stress and anxiety so i've been taking it easy. Tomorrow i am going to town to buy a watch for my job as i will need to keep an eye on the time while i am interviewing people. i will have all my good luck chrams and my monkey jason with me so it will remind me of home (family and friends). I've spoken to Lee a few times today which was nice. Like i told you though i still stick to what i said :) I wish we lived closer too sweetie and i would have called you :) I hope you are having a brilliant day sweetie and are enjoying the football. I luv you lots and lots sis and big hugs x
