    • About Me

      Losses ....Mom 1-18-09 Dad 12-2-06 Stillbirth 4-25-06, 2 late term miscarriages, ..and recently shunned from Catholic inlaws and disassociating myself from my criminal sister and her family....Its soo many people to lose and I am a relationship person..........life is fragile.... ...I am trying to find myself again..Im goofy and silly and love life and making people laugh is ME... im ALL ABOUT BEING A MOM...LIVE FOR IT...LOVE IT...DIE FOR IT....I belong to many communities because I find that I have commonalities with many of them, not neccessarily me, but my family too. I am trying to be real and feel, and make the most out of this life. I struggle with the daily demands of my family and daily strength is where I escape and reveal my true self, I have nothing to hide.MOST RECENT CRISIS is tough, my sister & family embezzled/credit theft/ from my parents estate an estimated 300K -400K and it was to care for my parents. it makes me feel so sad that the woman I trusted so much would do that to our parents, to my family...my brother needs a heart transplant and could use financial help. Im frightened once he is gone, my family will disolve because I dont want to have relationships with my conspiring, criminal sister or her children and husband, they are immoral and heartless.

I am blessed but struggling to get back to the super-high functioning-super-duper resillient Judy..I struggle more now, but I never stop loving and being the best mom I can be. Im a bit old fashioned I think. ANd I LOVE MY HUSBAND>

      It's true about exercise. I was exercising regularly before the job change, now I've stopped because my hours are longer. I think you're right. If I force myself to try to fit something in, even if it's late in the evening, it will probably help.
