Five Years_IG5

I can’t believe it’s been five whole years. Some days it feels like they flew by and other days, not so much. But we managed to get through them – together – never once letting each other go, no matter how bad the mood was. A lot has happened in five years. Babies were born,Continue reading “Five Years_IG5”

Ctrl, Alt, Delete –

I’m a NEW MAC user… until about a year ago I was a Windows person all the way. Ctrl, Alt, Delete was a lifesaver. It’s how you “reboot” the system and start over. Clean slate.. Brand-spanking new. I was looking for the same combination on my MAC when it hit me… I need one of thoseContinue reading “Ctrl, Alt, Delete –”

Words of Wisdom to my 24 year old son

24 years old! How did this happen? Just the other day your dad and I were out buying you a Emmitt Smith jersey just praying you’d be a boy.. and now you are a MAN. In moms usual fashion – I HAVE to give you my Words of Wisdom – although you have always marchedContinue reading “Words of Wisdom to my 24 year old son”

Words of Wisdom for my 19 year old daughter

19! I can’t even believe it! I remember the day you were born as if it were yesterday. Labor was induced and scheduled so there are no dramatic stories to tell.. having you was fairly quick, in relation to your brothers anyway, and, sort of easy- as easy as childbirth can be …not sure butContinue reading “Words of Wisdom for my 19 year old daughter”

Spring Cleaning

A dear friend recently lost his father. We helped them sort through his stuff, taking what we wanted, throwing away what WE didn’t think was useful or needed. And it got me thinking.. while it may not be useful to us, what if it meant something to him? With so much “stuff” how would weContinue reading “Spring Cleaning”

Faith Anchors the Soul

Meredith Grey once said, “Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is, appreciating small victories and Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human” Yes, Meredith Grey is a real person and I will not accept otherwise… While I agree with her completely, I also believe that there isContinue reading “Faith Anchors the Soul”

BioTe Day 5 – what the hell happened?

I don’t know if it was in my head or what the deal was but, I swear, Friday and Sat I was on fire. I had more energy than I knew what to do with. I was bouncing off the walls with it! Sunday took a dramatic turn… I slept so much I feel likeContinue reading “BioTe Day 5 – what the hell happened?”

I did it!

Today was THE day – I got my first round of pellet injections.. When I arrived, I was a total wreck. I was shaking so much I could hardly hold the pen I used to consent to having something inserted in my backside; something that could cause bloating, acne, and an increase in facial hair.Continue reading “I did it!”

It’s official…

So all of the test results came back and, while my levels aren’t THAT out of whack, they’re messed up just enough to make me a candidate. So I guess I’m just a little bitch- and not all the time.. 🤗 They did say I was severely deficient in B12 so I got a shotContinue reading “It’s official…”

Are my hormones really out of whack or am I just a bitch?

Today is the day – in a few minutes I will be on my way to see the PA for my hormone lab results to find out if I am a candidate for the hormone injection pellets. I did some more reading over the weekend to make sure it was, in fact, what I wantedContinue reading “Are my hormones really out of whack or am I just a bitch?”
