Living Life With Sarcasm, Kids, and MS

I'm a little bit crazy, but come on who isn't? I'm severly sarcastic, I tell it like it is, I somehow ended up married with three kids, and now I'm in a fist fight with the MS monster. But I'm doing all of this while lookin' pretty and my tiara on top of my head!

This blog is one of the best multiple sclerosis blogs out there. Add this blog to My Feeds.

Holiday Memories And A Little Magic

Jul 4, 2009 6:45am

"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better."-Albert CamusI've always tried to take my kids to see fireworks on the 4th.But with last summer being my first with MS, and it being the hottest summer in existence (atleast to me) we didn't make it and I can't tell...

I Guess It's Been A While....

Jul 2, 2009 6:22am

It seems a little funny to me that I started this blog as a form of therapy to help me deal with my journey down the winding road of MS, and yet, when it gets rough the last thing I feel like doing is writing about it.I've made some decisions...

A Flare Up, Some Good News (Or So I'm Told), Some Confusion, And Traces Of Complaints...This Post Covers A Lot Of Ground!

May 21, 2009 7:09pm

I had my first real flare-up since starting the Tysabri infusions five months ago. It happened three weeks ago and, while I am grateful for only one flare-up in a whole five months, I have to say that this one was quite impressive in it's intensity.I've had some pretty impressive...

UN-Happy Anniversary To Me

May 5, 2009 7:41pm

Today is my "One Year Anniversary". Exactly one year ago today, I had my life turned upside down by a diagnosis I didn't expect and an illness I will never understand.I don't know if any of you have ever had this happen, but last week I was sitting in the...

I'm A Little PO'd So I'm Gonna Rant And Rave And Try Not To Use Any Cuss Words So That I Don't Offend Anyone!

Apr 23, 2009 6:29am

**Image borrowed with love from CartoonStock **I'm sure I can't be the only one who is having these problems.There have to be others of you out there, fighting back the anger, tears, curses, screams of agony.You might be afraid to come out of the shadows and talk about it,...

I Would Like To Know Who The Wise Man/Woman Was That Said That Quote So That I Can Find Them And Punch Them In The Forehead

Apr 14, 2009 3:32pm

I've had a rough couple of weeks.What's funny about that statement, though, is that they were also pretty wonderful too.Contradicting, I know. But I've been told many times, by different people, that I tend to be a "Walking Contradiction" so I'm basically just sticking to form.The wonderful part was that...

The Picture

Apr 2, 2009 9:19am

I tried my best to get a decent picture of the one I described in the post I wrote this morning.I don't know why but every time I try to add it to the post from this morning, the video from YouTube won't work. Ahhh, just one of the joys...

It Hasn't Taken All Of My Memories Away....

Apr 2, 2009 4:55am

I'm sure that, unless you were a big fan of country music in 1985, you might not know the song I've posted the video for. This song was performed by Dan Seals and I haven't heard it in years but, today when I was reading the headlines on AOL this...

I Found A Little Something

Mar 25, 2009 6:23am

When I first started this blog, I got two huge welcomes: one from Lisa at Brass and Ivory and another from Braincheese. I can't tell you how much I appreciated both.But I do remember that Braincheese welcomed me onto the "Shortbus" so when I found this today, I found it...

I'm Not Ashamed To Admit When I'm Wrong

Mar 22, 2009 11:04am

If you read my previous post, you know that I sang the praises for Montel Williams going on Oprah and telling his story about his battle with MS. I guess I should have actually watched the show before I started my singing.One of my favorite bloggers is Bald Ben at...

Sometimes The Truth Can Be So Refreshing

Mar 20, 2009 7:17pm

I am not an avid viewer of the Oprah Winfrey show. It's not because I don't like her, it's just that her show comes on right after The Hubs gets home from work and takes control of the remote, usually while grumbling something like "I'm not watching any of this...

Just Wanted To Make Sure You're Aware

Mar 1, 2009 2:03pm

According to the National MS Society, March 2-8 is National MS Awareness Week.I expect all of you with Ms to get out there and make sure the world knows it.Hit them with your cane, bump them with your scooter, whatever it takes, do your part to make sure that everyone...

One Of Those Days

Feb 26, 2009 9:22am

Ever have one of those days where you wake up and you just know that that day is going to be shit and you should stay in bed, but you get up anyways?Today is one of those days for me.And I should have known better too because, yesterday, I had...

This One Might Get A Bit...Well...Bit%cy...Consider Yourselves Warned!

Feb 11, 2009 1:04am

I have had so many reasons to get up on my soapbox lately. The problem is, I haven't had the energy to climb up there, nevermind unload all of my ramblings once I get there.I guess my first gripe would have to be about that lady that just gave birth...

I Did It, It's Done, It's Over..For This Month Anyway

Jan 23, 2009 12:20pm

Well, I did it. It finally happened. It's done. For this month anyway.That's right, yesterday I went to my local neuros office and had my first Tysabri infusion done. After six long weeks of waiting, some mistakes (theirs, not mine), and a snow day that cancelled school, I finally had...

It's Kind Of Like "Hide N' Seek" Except for I Don't Stop Hiding And I'm Definately Not seeking..

Jan 20, 2009 12:33pm

My husband seems to think that I've become a recluse. I have no idea why he would think such a thing. What just because I don't ever leave the house?Or answer the phone?Or invite friends over?Ok, it would seem that I'm not making a great argument for myself here. It's...

Is There A Time Frame On How Long I Have To Wait To Strangle Them?? Cause I'm Ready NOW!

Jan 14, 2009 3:59am

You all warned me, but did I listen? Oh no, I chose to give them a chance. I had hopes.I was wrong. I WAS HORRIBLY WRONG!Who am I speaking of, you ask?I'm talking about the office staff at my new local neurologists office. You all told me to watch out...

When A Month Lasts An Eternity

Jan 7, 2009 12:03pm

I had all of these great ideas to write about for this post but, like a dummy, I forgot to write them down and now I'm sitting here, staring at my computer screen, trying to figure out what those great ideas were. This whole forgetfulness, that I'm told is called...

Oh Geesh, This Can Be Hard Work!!!

Jan 2, 2009 10:40pm

I happened to look at my blogger dashboard and was appalled that I haven't posted since December 23rd! That's last year, for crying out loud!I keep finding myself in a daze, as if I'm unable to convince my brain that it actually is 2009.I mean, yes I'm forgetful and I...

Ahhhh..The Holidays Are Coming..Whether I Like It Or Not

Dec 23, 2008 7:41am

Well, Christmas is officially on it's way. Only 2 days away.I'm in such a strange place. I'm not in the "Christmas Spirit" at all. And this is very unlike me.I am usually one of those people who get so excited about the holidays. I have about ten totes filled to...

Um, Say What?

Dec 12, 2008 4:16am

This is my 20th post on this blog. It's funny to me since I have 665 on my other one.So, do you ever sit down and start thinking about life and your MS comes to mind and even though you already knew it, it hits you again:Wow, this IS for...

A Huge Thank You And Some Random Thoughts

Dec 5, 2008 7:27pm

I hope that you all have noticed that Sarcasm, Kids, and MS has been pimped out!You have noticed right?Ok, I'm gonna stop for a minute and you take the time to look around...............It's awesome, I know! I owe it all to AngieSS who writes at the blog Cup of Snarky....

The World Is Not Safe For Anyone Right Now!

Nov 30, 2008 12:52pm

I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. Mine was pretty good. It went by quickly though. We couldn't find anyone to watch the Funny Farm animals so we had to make the three hour trip to my mom's on Wednesday and then do the three hour drive back home on...

Memories.....Oh and Happy Turkey Day!

Nov 26, 2008 11:01am

I'm sorry I've been MIA lately on this blog. I guess I'm in sort of a funk and I don't want to keep moaning on and on about it and chase you all away, you know? I've kind of grown to like you little boogers and I wouldn't want you...

Here Are Some Things I Do Remember

Nov 23, 2008 8:05am

I'll warn you all now, this one might not be funny. I'm feeling a little...what's the word? Maudlin? Not depressed really, just, well, blah.My therapist, whom I love dearly, has given me the task of journeling again. So far, only random things have been written down but last night I...
