My introduction

This is my final attempt at a blog. Here's why I have always failed in the past: I try to split the aspects of my life into a "commercial" blog. Meaning- if you are looking for a "mommy" blog it would be one, or a blog on rheumatoid arthritis, or my very brief blog on trying to complete a novel. I could never do it... keep focused on the subject of the blog- because really the subject wasn't ME.

So this is something I putting together for myself. And yes, I've said that before- but it wasn't really true.

This is going to be about

My life at home: I've been with my husband for 8 years and married for 5. He travels for work with a NASCAR race team. It leaves me a "part time" single mom of our daughter who is almost 5. Did I mention my recent hysteria? DH (dear husband-- or sometimes damn husband) had reconnected via facebook with his ex girlfriend and entered into an emotional affair with her. Meaning they were talking--- a ridiculous amount! but had never "met up." More on this later............... if I get going I may not stop!

Rheumatoid Arthritis: I was diagnosed in 2008. I've just started Enbrel injections and I am hoping to get some relief soon.

I also have some blood disorders, Factor V Leiden and MTHFR. They are genetic but for the most part managed. I did have MUCH drama following my pregnancy and will forever worry about more blood clots but it is not something I have to deal with every day.

For fun: I have been an aspiring novelist since the age of 8. I have been "wanna be" crafty my whole life and during a recent break/remission in the RA I started knitting. I found lots of cool knitting blogs to follow and bought yard and finished my practice scarf and was all set to go on baby gift for some expecting friends. Of course I am mid flare with the RA and unable to knit, or even concentrate (thanks DH!).


Do you see why I can't keep things sorted out? Knitting is going to be impacted by RA, everything is impacted by my family... it's just all one big mess.


So here I am... I'm thinking I will copy my posts from the old blogs (at least the two I still have) and put them on here. I wrote them- they are nothing wonderful or that I would hate to lose but it's just like my old journals I have that I wrote in Jr High, sometimes it's nice to go back and see where you were at in the past.



I have found several blogs just by googling medical conditions so on the off chance someone falls into my blog I didn't want to be rude and fail to introduce myself or neglect to tell you who I am and what I am about.
