I've gotten away from blogging because life has been crazy. But isn't that the case for everyone? Life seems to get in the way with life. But we deal with it. Or at least we try to deal with it without going insane. Dealing with the issues of life sometimes makes me want to scream. Some of those things are good, and some are bad. But when things start to just stack and stack, it's enough to drive anyone crazy.
This year has been very trying to me and my family. My son has cyclical vomiting, and missed so much school, I ended up pulling him out to home school him. The school district's response? Let's sue her for being a bad mom. My son's truck broke down and we took it to a shop to get it fixed. The shop's response? Let's screw her for being a woman. I started having issues with my foot to the point where I couldn't even wear shoes. The doctor's response? Let's do everything we can to avoid surgery (finally someone not trying to screw me over!) The outcome? Surgery. My husband got sick with a high fever and refused to go to the doctor. His body's response? Pnemonia (and then four days in the hospital)! My daughter had stomach issues for months and wouldn't go to the doctor either. Her body's response? Extreme pain until she finally caved and went to the ER. Emergency appendectomy.
Through all of this, I had to keep in the back of my mind....don't let it stress you out. Since stress is one of my triggers for IA, I had to force myself to relax. Do you know how hard it is to make yourself forget that life is beating the shit out of you? It's like trying to sunbath in a bikini at the north pole! You never really accomplish it because it's just too hard to push out the thoughts of the outside forces beating you down.
I need a vacation.......
