    About Me

    Losses ....Stillbirth 4-25-06, photo of me pregnant 3/06 2 late term miscarriages, and dad died in 12/06...dealing with an emo twins...and demanding family......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 nothng to hide.

    Interests

    I love PEOPLE, skyviews, the ocean, horses and pets, (7) dancing, singing, playing with my kids, watching reality tv, computer, cooking original recipes, pampering myself and my daughter, time with my hubby and kids and just getting out of the house for a meal! 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>

    • Hug

      From Stuckinatree November 20

      thankyou, I've tried smashing my whole house, many times in my younger years. but I don't do that anymore. I like to write and vent when I'm mad. I also try to redo and process myself about the particular area the problem is from ,and see if he didn't trigger something on me. but this time in particular, I think he was just plain concerned about having cancer. he's never had anything like that, it scared him pretty bad. he's going to counseling, they must've worked at it, because he said sorry, and is trying more. I"ve been married 40 years. I have accepted all his faults, and I assume he's accepted all mine. I'm overly sensitive these days. doesn't take much to upset me. I guess that's because I'm going through the PTSD anger part...and I hate being angry. so if he ticks me off...I go for the gusto! anyway, it's better now. thanks again...
