So this is my life....

Well, where do I start? I will start by saying that it will take me time to get used to blogging. I have lots to say and may end up telling my life story in increments. To start, I am happily married to hubby for 31 years nows. He is a retired navy Veteran who served during Desert Storm on 3 rtations. We have 2 beautiful, grown up daughters. Oldest, married with 5 little boys aged 6,5,3,1 and 2 1/2 months. I am proud to be their "Mema". My youngest is single and career minded right now and tends to spoil us a bit. Even though she lives 3 hours away, she tries to get home for the holidays and just came home for a few hours this past Father's Day to surprise her dad. It was a great visit. My oldest came Saturday to visit with all the boys. What a great weekend we had.
Things aren't the best for us right now. Hubby is out of work due to medical issues, had one surgery in January and is rescheduled for another in mid-July. We are going through a lot of stuff financially and legally and it takes its toll. I have been out of work for 5 years now due to a back injury that went undiagnosed for 5 years and I have been through hell and all kinds of drugs and test to get that diagnosis. Not fun. I also recently ended up spending 4+ hours in our local ER thinking I was having a heart attack, but thank God, it was only an anxiety attack and can be controlled. Only problem there is I added a new medication to my already overflowing list of them. I hate taking meds, but if I don't, I will be in massive pain, awake all the time, higher cholestorol, and having anxiety attacks like crazy. I didn't want the med for the anxiety, but she prescribed it anyway and told me that just knowing I have it is a big help. I have been taking an average of 2 a day since, as my anxiety levels are high.
I am going to end it here for now, but I do want to say that if you want real reality, stay tuned to my upcoming blogs. I will try to get as much in them as I can. If networks want real drama and real life instead of the BS from Jon and Kate, I can give it to them and the money they would pay would be a major blessing right now.
So, for now, to be continued..........
