Divinely Hooked

Hey yall, This week is going to be a very busy week and I'm just worn out. Last week I had my follow up appointment with my new doctor. I liked her a lot more this time than the first time. I'm down 5lbs (yay me!) And my biggest complaint with my antidepressant is that it causes some serious vertigo.  So she suggested that I switch to taking it at night instead of in the morning, but so far it's not helping. If it keeps up I will discuss trying a new medication with her. The last two nights I've had migraines and upset stomach, so that just wears me out. I can't even rock in the rocking chair or work on my crochet project. Which are both very sad for me. lol And since making the appointment to have my dog put down I've been having a lot of lock jaw issues with is also a cause of my headaches (which I have everyday most of the time all day long) so my teeth are super sensitive and painful. Just drinking room temperature water causes pain. And I'm not r...

Back when I was a youngster I was living with a friend and decided that I wanted a dog. So off to the shelter we went. Most of the dogs were barking and jumping around, but the dog that called to my heart was a little girl dog that was sitting in her fence with her head down and not looking around. She had just completed heart worm treatments and had just been fixed. She was a beautiful red color with tiger stripes. Her papers said that she was a 10-12 month old boxer mix and she was only $25.00. I was sold. At the time I was young and had no clue about how hard it would be to get a place to live with having a fifty pound dog that was part boxer, but I couldn't leave without her. Something connected us and I'm so thankful that it did. When I put the cheap leash that they had there around her neck she didn't really know what to do. I paid for her and filled out the necessary paper work and out the door we went. I don't know what happened to her that first year of her...

My recently turned 9 year old has been needing and been using deodorant for a while now. I don't know if he just didn't believe me about his stink or what, but he was not using his deodorant like I was telling him to. The other day he decided to get his vitamins out of the upper cabinet in the kitchen for himself. He was in there and reached up to get them and made this horrified face and told me that "something STINKS!!" I didn't smell anything when I was in there a little bit before him. So I go in there and he walks by me and I told him it was himself that he was smelling! 😂 Needless to say he went and put deodorant on. But boy did it make me laugh! And of course I texted the story to my family members so they could enjoy the moment with me. A couple days later my youngest had to go to bed early because of behavior so it opened the perfect opportunity to begin my puberty talk with my older son. It went well. He hasn't asked any questions or anything. He f...

Hey everyone! It's been a while! An update about the porn watching neighbor boy: He has chosen to not be friends or even speak to my son because he told me about what happened at the birthday party. I did speak to the boy and explain that he wasn't trying to be a tattletale, he was trying to understand what he saw and that I told on him. We haven't seen him since. Not a huge disappointment for me since he wasn't a nice kid anyway, but a tough thing for my son to deal with. I have not yet had "the talk" yet with my son, I'm getting ready to prepare myself and get what I want to go over with him figured out. Then we will have the talk in the next few weeks. I have been getting better with the dizziness from my meds. It's not as bad. Really I don't notice it anymore, which is good since I'd rather not randomly fall over. haha. I've been exercising regularly since about March. I'm down 5lbs, but let me tell you I hate it! Not the weight...

Hello all! I don't know if you are parents, but if you are, you know that it is hard. And knowing when to allow certain things is a whole other ballpark. I don't allow my kids on the internet, unless I am there behind them watching what they are doing. I will not be buying them a phone with internet access... unless of course I'm able to have full access at any time. Kids have enough trouble and temptations, they don't need access to the internet constantly to make things harder. Last week I allowed my boys (ages 8 and 4) to go to a neighbor's house to celebrate the neighbor boy's birthday. This was the first time I ever let them be in the care of someone other than family, or during church when they are in their designated areas. This was a big thing for me. I'm a very protective mama. I don't mess around when it comes to my kids. I was unsure of letting them go over there because the kid isn't a very nice kid, and I don't really care ...

So, detoxing off of my pills is no joke! I had horrible dizziness to the point of falling over and all of my awful depression crap was in full swing. It was awful! I'm in need of an increase, however I'm not sure I want to stay on this medication. I had some dizziness before I got on the meds, but it's a lot worse now. And what the heck is the deal with medications killing libido?? I do have a doctors appointment with my new doctor on Monday so I'm planning to discuss medication options. Many, if not most, of yall don't know me on a personal level and don't know how bad I was before all of this. You'll just have to trust me when I tell you, it's a night and day difference. And I'm a much much calmer and more level headed parent. However, my older son doesn't seem to see the difference. Often he says how horrible his life is and how he wishes he lived somewhere else. Now, I know he most likely has some imbalances in his brain like I do, but it...

I had to get doctor approval for my next refill of my medication. I called the doctors office a week before being out. Normally the pharmacy will automatically refill it when they get the approval. I hadn't heard anything, so when I was down to two pills I called the pharmacy for the refill. Needless to say they didn't come in. I was already having issues and today has been bad. I'm praying it comes in tomorrow. My older son has been sick this week. And I really have no patience with him, even when he's sick. And I feel really guilty about that. I'm angry, sad, and everything in between.
