I am a liar , I admit it.

Okay, I said I was going to not disapper I did. Lie number 1.
I said I was going to keep up with a new blog I started... Lie number 2.

See, I am a chronic liar.

I like to blog. But I feel like my life is a wee bit dull to blog about. I mean I realize treatments, medicines, hospital stays and bills aren't exactly riveting stuff. My blog is like one big sleeping pill. I realize I don't live a super exciting life. ;)

I was ATTEMPTING to start a new blog, because I figured...New life...new blog....but big failure. So here I am again....LOL hey it's to hard to teach a old dog, new tricks.

Lets see recent RIVETING updates ;)

Been okay healthwise....meaning, I am on the right combo of meds, but still have issues....like that's news to anyone ;)

Had surgery 2 months ago, went well, my gallbladder was full of stones and had attached itself to my intestine. Sounds super fun and not painful right? Really it was a prettty easy surgery to recover from...hardest part is trying to figure out what foods I can no longer eat. Plus side I have lost about 35 lbs of my almost 50 lbs of predisone weight, yes you read that right....I was a hoss ;)

Divorce wise, still divorced. I haven't ran off and got married or anything. We are still friends which is good for Houston. I am now dating again. Dating a great guy, so my life is pretty happy.

I will update more later, I promise. I like blogging for myself as well, because it's almost like a diary... but hey I am scared of commitment ;)

I am sorry I have been such a slacker

Life has just been busy. Had surgery last week, so I got some down time on my hands ;) So I thought I would blog.

Houston is about to start school, should be interesting. Looks like they got a great group of kids in his class. It should be a fun year.

We have done lots of fun things this summer like disney world. Houston loved it, 10 days of fun!

On the weekends I don't have Houston, I try and fill with live music and water of some kind, usually the lake ;)

I miss the little booger so much while he is gone.

I will update more later with pictures and stuff just wanted to let you know i was alive ;)

Circus time.

I love the circus, even though I am SCARED to DEATH of clowns, but I love my little dude so much...I bit the bullet and we got front row tickets..WORTH EVERY PENNY.

Here are a couple unedited snapshots. I wanted to enjoy not be obsessing over pics.

We were so close :)

Pics at listed ```

Scary Clowns...I was having heart palpatations.
Dancers
Houston trying on circus clothes :)
Houston and a VERY NICE, kinda scary clown he was flirting with ;)
Lady on an elephant I feared was going to trample us :P

Soooo very fun. We had performers talking and signing things for us all night. I didn't have that much fun as a child :)

I am going to start blogging again, pinky promise.

Just had a ton on my plate with the divorce and all. We also moved back to where all our family is, I am actually living in an apartment off my parents house, super cool I know.

But it is great because
* I can save money
* I have help when I am sick, which I have been having some issues with.
* Houston gets to see his family often.

Not super cool, but it was the best choice for us.

Houston is doing great in school. He loves it most of the time, and has a girlfriend he is sure he will marry.

Weekends without Houston are hard but I ususally go watch my little brother play or go watch a movie, or just destress.

They are putting the finishing touches on the apartment and as much as I love the parentals, I need a little more "me" space. Excited to decorate it. It's not huge but enough. A huge wall in closet, a bath, kitchen area, living room and two bedrooms. Not fancy fancy but hey, I am so blessed to have parents whoe were willing to help me out with everything from a place to live, to helping with Houston, and just loving on us :)

Lately, I am just working on making me the best I can be. Houston has adjusted as well as can be expected.

I love my little dude !

I am alive just computerless...

I am alive. Just don't have a computer. I have moved and don't have Internet yet. I am in the process of a divorce, don't want to elaborate any more than that, luckily Jeremy and I are able to remain friends during this time. Houston is the priority. We are trying to make the transition as easy as possible for him.

He has done pretty well so far. There have been a few meltdowns and man are they terrible :*(

Just wanted ya'll to know healthwise, I am pretty good,all the new lupus meds are somewhat doing the trick. Had a bad cold, ear infection and upper respitory infection last week, but I am getting better.

I have my parents to help me as well so that helps, and it helps keep their mind of my grandmother's passing :( She will have been gone 2 months on the 17th :(

Been a crappy last couple of months. Keep us in your prayers.

Hope you all have been well.

*Waves* I am a live

Sorry I have been MIA, I didn't disappear on on purpose. Just spent way more days than I could ever have wanted too, almost 2 weeks in the big house, otherwise known as the hospital, or Brookwood Medical Center.

I had been feeling bad for about a week and then totally stopped tinkling, bp through the roof and swollen like a macy thanksgiving day float. Miserable.

Went and and of course was promptly detained. The first days were filled with lots of pain meds for the bone pain, that was making me want to hack my legs off amoung other things, with a chainsaw.

The first day I was puking my brains out from pain *tmi* but hey,I am being honest.

Then my doctor came to my rescue and the pain pump was a life saver. Literally kept me from wanting to perform surgery on myself.

Had to adust to lots of new meds, never fun and have even more to start after a whole 'nother shebang of testing.

My kidneys are working a little better but still have some issues, they are leaning more towards a lupus flare than anything, as to what started to snowball rolling down the hill.

I finally was pardoned and am still in some pain and still have issues but resting at my mom and dad's. They are closer to the doctor, they have a pool and they can help so it's a win win situation.

Just wanted you to know I was alive and will try and keep up to date on you all's comings and goings!

Missed ya!
