Sorry I have not been around. I feel bad. I saw that a lot of you are struggling right now. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers right now.

My kids are healing. My 11 yo and I are not seeing eye to eye. I am fighting strep throat and depression right now.

On a good note, my mom just booked a trip to Vegas for "her girls", being my sisters, me and her at the end of March. I have never been to Vegas let alone on a trip anywhere but to visit people so this is very exciting for me. I am trying to use it to keep me from a very bad place. I had some news yesterday that triggered me badly that I am trying to cope with. I may call my therapist and start that again, we will see. It is just so costly.

I will keep all of you in my prayers. Hopefully, once the doctors call in my stupid antibiotic tonight, I will be able to function better and post to everyone tommorrow.

Hi Missy,
I hope you feel better.
I lived in Vegas for far too long. The only good thing about that place

Hey Missy,

You just worry about getting better, okay? We miss you around here, but as long as we know you're okay, we're just fine!

Hang in there, honey.

A trip anywhere is great for the soul. I remember last year my family took a trip to Florida's west coast and I swear, just for the fact that I was 3000 miles from home on a was enough for me to have a blast. We didn't actually do much - I mean, it was very exciting to be in this very exotic location (we stayed in Bradenton at my uncle's condo which was conviently located on a golf course) and swimming in a body of water you don't have to wait until the beginning of July to warm up enough to avoid hypothermia was beyond comprention until we went to St. Armand's - but it was a week away and it was new. It was all that mattered to me. My dad and my uncle even got into a massive fight near the end of the trip and I still feel I had the best time ever. I think it was the first time in a long time I still felt safe and secure my illness wasn't going to get the best of me in a very stressfull situation. I absolutly did not want to come home.

Needless to say, my next trip is going to be a rather extended trip. (That is, if my next trip isn't a rather exciting little excursion to either Ottawa or New York City...really, it depends on how secure I'm feeling about sending orginal documents through the mail in order to get British citizanship.)

I hope you do get to go to Vegas. My counceller from the Canadian Mental Health Association went the last week of December with her THEN fiance...needless to say, there was more to their visit than gambling. :)
