Oh man, I do not even know where I left off way back in 2014. It seems so long ago and so many things have changed. I am not the same person and I have struggled with that lately but I think I am starting to be who i was intended to be.
We have moved to Florida and well we are getting ready to move again, The kids have grown so much. G is about to enter high school. Ayva is about to go into middle school and baby Liam is finishing KG. Wow I feel old.
Some exciting things for sure have happened and some heartbreaking events have also happened. Things have been rough and not always sunshine and rainbows but at the end of the day we have stuck together and well we made it. I cant tell you enough how grateful I am for the life I have.
In the last year I was diagnosed with Lupus and Fibromyalgia on top of the ITP I have had since I was 15. To say the least it hasn't been fun. The struggle is real y'all. The pain and the fatigue suck the life right out of me. I went to a very dark place when I first was diagnosed. No I wasn't suicidal but I didn't want anything to do with anything that wasn't right there in my bed. The pain was bad and I was so tired. I couldn't sleep because of the pain but when I did it made me stiff and caused more pain. Such a stupid circle I was in. I came out of this depressed state and owned the fact that this is the rest of my life and its time to suck it up and deal. Yes I have tried medicine and no they didn't work. Now I stick to the KETO diet well I call it KETOish because I cheat once in a while and sometimes each some real crappy foods. Its helping and hey I lost 20 lbs so there is that too. There is my sunshine and rainbows part. :)
So, I am going to try this blogging thing out again. Maybe I will stick to it and maybe I wont. Writing seems to be helpful so maybe I will stay for awhile. I can not promise that people will love what I write because well you know me, I speak first think later. Stay tuned for it........ xoxo
