About Me

My photo
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!

Randomness

Spent all weekend being bums and putting away Christmas stuff. It took forever!!!

Yesterday, my mom-in-law was suppose to watch B b/c he had a professional day (no school for kids/teachers have to still go). So, I ended up working at home. I love working at home. I wish I could do it all the time. I feel so much better physically and mentally.

I've been kind of sad the past day or so. I just feel like I am not the person I want to be and I know that only I can change that...but, I have no motivation to do it. I feel so overwhelmed by all the things I need to work on. My weight...by diet & exercise, being a better more involved mom, keeping the house in order, being a better more supportive and involved wife...UGH. I just don't know where to start.

I have become bored with my job I think. I still like it and I like the people I work with, I'm just bored. I think I am just bored in general. I'm not depressed, I just have no "zest for life" right now. I feel like I've lost my spark. I'm sure it'll pass...it's just weird.

My son is growing up so fast. He has turned into a "tween". Where has the time gone?? He's going to be 11 in few months. The other night he couldn't fall asleep and he asked me to come sit with him. I laid down in bed with him and rubbed his back and sang to him...just like I did when he was a baby. I thought to my self to enjoy the moment because there probably won't be many like that for a long time. He even looks like a young man now. All dressed in track pants and the long sleeve shirt with the t-shirt over it. AND....he woke up the other morning with his first pimple on his face!! I am so not ready for this. I want my little boy back. **sigh**

My mother in law is crazy. Her new obsession is where she wants to be buried when she dies. She apparently informed my husband the other day that she wants to be buried with us and she wants us to buy a plot now before it gets to late. Oy vey!
I am not thinking about this yet. When she dies...then we'll figure it out. And hopefully that won't be for many more years...because as much as we say how much she drives us crazy, we'd be devastated if something happened to her.

So, we bit the bullet and we're heading back to D I S N E Y for Feb vacation. My ingenous husband found a way to do it. The catch is that we have to drive to Philly to fly out. We're nuts! But, we found a way we could afford to do it. Because of his annual pass from last year still being good, we got a discounted rate at the Coronado Springs Resort. I am so excited. I love going there. It just is a great vacation. This will be our 5th time. YIKES...we are spoiled. I never thought I'd be the type to go on two major vacations a year...but I have to say I do enjoy it.

Ok, that's enough for now.
Toodles!
