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!

Not a great week....

I am just not a happy person today.

Tired...cranky...pms? little early for that.

My son broke his wrist last week falling off his bike. Broke both wrist bones in his right arm. (yep, he's right handed) He's in a cast up to his armpit. He's actually being a real trooper about it and is adjusting to school work quite well. It's just added to the stress level in our house.

I hate 5th grade homework. I hated homework when I was in school and I hate it now as a parent. I know...it suppose to help him better his skills...blah,blah,blah. Maybe I am the worse parent in this regard but I just get so stressed and pissed off at the amount of homework he gets. My husband and I both work full time. I get out of work at 5pm...pick up my son by 5:45ish..home by 6pm. Start dinner, get him started on his 2hours of homework. Somewhere in the middle of doing homework, we eat. He just started taking the French Horn in band (his choice...he's actually a natural at it...who knew??). He's suppose to practice 10 minutes everyday. He takes a shower each night and is suppose to be in bed by 9pm. You do the math... there is simply not enough time to do it all without going insane. It just is so stressful.


Also, AQ (from a previous post) is at it again. Just found out that AQ's spouse has also been using all this time too. It is just a disaster. AQ was fired last Friday...Monday went and got severance & bonus check and then disappeared. Noone has heard from AQ since Monday morning. We are all very worried. Just waiting for the call that AQ has been found dead in some alley somewhere. It is all just so surreal.... AQ's parents are a mess. I am very, very worried about them. It just plain sucks. All the lies...and their poor kids. I just don't know what to do.

Anyway, hubby just walked in the door so I have to give him dinner. I just hope this week gets better. I really don't want it to go down hill any more.

Toodles.
