This Crazy Life

It’s a new year and 2026 is going to be my year.  I have big goals, big dreams and a lot of things I want to accomplish.  I started off the year sick.  We returned from vacation on 12/31 and I got the flu.  Hard.  I think I’m just finally back to life with full…

We’ve had Thanksgiving.  And my daughter was present in my house.  She wouldn’t sit in the room while we ate, but then she played games with us afterwards.  We went to the in-laws house for Thanksgiving and she sat at the kids’ table while they ate.  The week before we went to Arizona to see…

My twins are back to being so close again.  I swear it was like a switch flipped overnight.  She’s becoming a person more and more every day.  Getting out and doing things.  Being around people.  Laughing, smiling, joking around.  She’s been up in our house until 11/1130 the last two nights.  The girls are having…

My 2 other girls had been getting along.  And actually getting along well.  They were friends.  They enjoyed each other.  They hung out with each other and with each other’s friends.  We went on a few trips together.  Then everything changed and we’re back to oil and water.  I know what changed, but I’m still…

She’s been at her job for 2 months.  And it’s been going ok.  There have been a couple of struggles leaving the house, but for the most part it’s been really successful.  She’s enjoying getting out and being around people.  So many people around town have seen her and sent me positive messages.  However, her…

She started working.  At Walmart.  And she is enjoying it.  A lot!  She’s working around 30 hours a week, which seems like so much, but considering she doesn’t do anything else I guess it really isn’t awful.  She’s been working for just over 2 weeks now.  We went to the doctor Monday and I was…

We had a bone density scan today.  And in less than 3 hours I had an email from her doctor with results.  So, you can imagine they were the best results.  All of her results had worsened in the past year, most notably her spine.  Which is where her doctor said you see the most…

Finding a new therapist is hard. Especially for my daughter.  First you have to find someone that is willing to take her on.  You have to find someone that is willing to work with her and not decide her eating disorder/OCD is too severe and she needs a higher level of care.  You need someone…

We took an almost family vacation to New York.  It was short and sweet, but all my kids (plus one) went!  My husband was not able to go due to work, but we are all ready planning an entire family vacation for later in the year.  Friday night our flight got diverted due to weather…
