About Me

Massachusetts, United States
I am 41 years old. I have been married to my husband for 15 years. We have a son who was born in April 1996. We live in Central Massachusetts with our dog Maggie (a black lab we adopted from the animal rescue league) and our cat Sam (a stray that adopted us) I graduated from college with a BFA in Theatre in 1993 (hence the name) and for a few years pursued a career as an actress. Then life took over and I got married, had a baby and decided to get a "real" job. In November 2004, I was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's disease. In December 2004, I was hospitalized for surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy. In December 2009, I was laid off from my job. In June 2010, my son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 14. Stick around to see what happens next!

Home today

I'm home sick today. I didn't sleep very well last night and I woke up this morning with a major headache and I feel sick to my stomach. I was going to drag myself to work but then I decided that I really needed to listen to my body and take a sick day. So, I did.

Things are still going well. I have my ups and downs. I still can NOT get use to the fact that I'll be fine one day, almost like there isn't a thing wrong with me, and then the next day I can barely walk. It really is frustrating. That and the memory recall thing. I CAN'T STAND THAT!!! It really upsets me. I feel so stupid. I can't think of things fast enough so when I am having a conversation with someone, I sound like an idiot.

Things with P are just wonderful. I can not believe how lucky I am to have him. I still am amazed that every year I grow to love him even more. Just when I think it is not possible to have a deeper connection with him, he does something or says something that just brings my level of love and devotion to him to a deeper level. I just adore him and I thank God everyday for bringing him into my life.

B is doing so well in school. He has made HUGE strides this year. He has friends and overall things are just better. I am hopefully that this carries over into the summer and into next school year. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Life is slowing down finally after three months of craziness. It started back on the last weekend of March and went up until last weekend. We had something to do EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND!!! It's been nuts. We haven't been able to get much down around the house. But, it'll get done. All in due time.

That's about it. I'm going to go lay down and sleep some more. I hope I'm not sick for the weekend. That just would not be fun.

Toodles!
