about

I'm a mother of 2 boys who are 13 months apart. Talk about a handful. I'm a wife to the best husband I could have ever dreamed of.
I'm one of the very blessed.


I have Bipolar 1 Disorder. I hate taking all these medications and always going to doctors appointments, but life is too short to let mental illness get the better of me.


Often times life is a challenge, and nobody knows that better than me. I wake up wondering if this is going to be a day my illness overpowers my meds, and either sends me flying like a bat out of hell, or leaves me laying on the couch like a wet dish rag.


Thank all that is good in the world that I have an excellent support system at home.
I'm one of the lucky ones.


I'm honest, and that can either be a perk or s flaw. Depends on how you choose to look at it.
I like to see it as a perk, because it's better to hear the truth than to be told candy coated bullshit.






advice

I have a 97 blazer and my dad wants to trade me for his 98 ford because im selling one of them to get a mini van every one says itd be stupid.. but i have me, my husband and three kids.

And your question is?

Do I think it's stupid to buy a van with a family of 5?
Hell no.

Sure, you can sandwich 3 kids into the back seat of a car, but you got to think to the future...
I don't know how old your kids are, but I'd hate to try to squeeze 3 teenaged kids into a 3 person bench seat. Cars aren't a mile wide like they once were, so such a bench seat doesn't seat 3 adults comfortably.

Besides, why should it matter what "everyone" says? You do for YOUR family, and screw everyone else.
