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!

My life is a bad commercial...

It all begins with having no money to begin with and having creditors calling on a daily basis and having things shut off because we can't pay the bills...Then when you think life can't possibly get any more stressful, it does. Here is the past two weeks of my life in a 30 second commercial:

Refilling the various PD meds that I must take to deal with the horrible disease... $500.00

Purchasing a new dryer because the old one gave out a puff of smoke on Sun and died...$950.00

Repairs for minivan because the brake light won't work and the windshield wiper fluid is busted....$250.00

Having no money for Chistmas and then watching husband have a nervous breakdown (for real) because of the stress of trying to figure out how we are going to pay for everything....PRICELESS.

If I don't laugh then I'll cry again...and I'm tired of crying. Just trying to remember that even despite our troubles, we are still better off than alot of people who have nothing. (we might be some of those people soon...but I digress..)

Toodles!
