day two oh my what to celebrate today. lets see. something in my health

okay i got it. since i am going through menopause and still have those monthly visits. my woman hood. at 50 my body can still create a child (tee hee now i would luagh should this come to be, i get pregant now. that may cause my hubby to actaul faint lol but here i know this ccan ahppen easily too) this is something only woman can do and some woman lose this ability very young.

in some cultures a womans first cycle is held in high respect for it marks the entry to woman hood. yet so many of us dread it's visits to us.

yep today i am going to remember in awe ,not ,oh my will it ever end. the gift my body has been given. i have two beautiful chidlren because i have this gift within me. must not forget the reprives in the night it aforded me over the years. tee hee

oh let me see, what do I celebrate today

Hopefull I get to go home tomorrow, I have been been in the hospital for over a week. Times has been hard but I still smile through my tears. Because God is good and I am feeling if there is a will there is a way. I am looking forward to going back to work in January. I have not worked for three years. I'm also going back to school, when I moved here I had to drop out. I have another year to get my MASTERS in Early Childhood Education.

dare look at me, I'm 49 and I just had one so 50 is not bad at all. You husband might just faint, well mine fell to his knees, lol

I'm also celebrating today because yesterday was my baby's birthday (he turned 3) and it is Suzee's birthday today

such a blessing

okay to day is harder because so many are hurting on the boards here. okay i have it. i am a mom and i am going to celebrate the right i hold as a mom.
last year this time my son was in and out of hospital with suicide intentions. i had taken him three times to emergency and they kept releasing him . then he dissappeared for a period and reappeared at his dads. he then dissappeared and i later learnt was in the hospital for two weeks following an attempt to commit suicide. h eis doing fine this year

my daughter how ever is not. she is severely depressed and the signs are here. i have been trying to get her help but she has been refusing to go.

well i am the mom and i do not give a crap if she is 18 or not. today she is going to mental health and i told her last night this. I told her she is not able to make a healthy choice for she is depressed and as he rmom i love her and it is my job threefor to take care of her when she is under my roof and my care (she is still going to school)

so to day i am going to celbrate my parenting skills.. i the past i have questions and even denied i had any . but i am a good mom and i am aware when they are hurting and that means i also have the ability to do something. again i do not need proof or facts i jsut need a mothers instinct. have that plenty.

so to day i am celbrating the ability to follow my instinct to the end. i will not leave to i find help for my daughter. i will not accept the mental health crap of suicide thought being a must. i will use my God given ability to state wha ti want and to acquire what my daughter needs. help.

yes to moms whom love and care ;no to submissive and accepting defeat.

I have the power dare

today I celebrated me being stong and standing up for myself. My husbaand called me and asked could he come get SJ for his birthday today. I told him hell no because first of all SJ birthday was on Monday, and you didnt even call and worst part is you forgot when your own son 3rd birthday was. He got mad but guess what, I dont care. YAY me.

I celebrate learning about myself, even though the journey began w/my mentally ill husband & especially grateful for the "Light Bulb" moments along the way, which are very emotionally exhausting but well worth it.

that is worth celebrating april i like that one too. light bulb moments oh yes we get them lol
so glad you joined in on the celebration
