Sorry I haven't been around lately
Hi all! 
Hope this note finds everyone happy and healthy. I'm sorry I haven't been around but my life has been an emotional rollercoaster and has left me physically and mentally exhausted at times.
First, I was fighting with my son's insurance company because they didn't want to pay for a new medication that his doctor put him on.
I just don't understand insurance companies sometimes. I mean, the doctor wouldn't prescribe the medicine if he didn't think it was necessary. We finally got them to agree to pay for a different medication. I wasn't real happy with the outcome because I would have preferred the strattera instead of the concerta. But what ya gonna do? 
Then, I was fighting with my son's school cause they refuse to test him for special help. They say his grades are too good because he is getting C's. What I can't get them to understand is the only reason he is getting C's is because momma tutors him for 4 hours every night. I refuse to let him fail....have his self-esteem lowered....and end up hating school. It is soooo aggravating!!!!
Then, the guy I had begun seeing decided he really didn't have time in his life for a "relationship" and didn't feel it was fair to lead me on and ask me not to date anyone else if he couldn't pay proper attention to me. I thanked him for his honesty and went back to "fishing". And I truely believe things happen for a reason because not a week later I met a most wonderful guy *****ally seems to care for me and makes me very happy. He has met Cody and they get along wonderfully!
Don't know what will become of it but it sure is nice. 
Then came the real big kicker. On March the 13th, I had been out with my new guy (Michael) celebrating his birthday. I called home about 12:00 am to let my mom know I was on my way home. I got about 5 or 10 mins from the house and get a call from Cody, my 11 year old. He tells me I need to get home NOW because there is something wrong with Grandma. Needless to say I drove like a bat out of hades and got home in about 3 mins. I took one look at my mom and called an ambulance. I thought she was having a stroke. "Thankfully," it turned out to be a mini-stroke and there was no permanent damage. But of course, she was in the hospital for 4 days which meant a lot of running back and forth to the hospital and trying to keep up the house at the same time. For once I was honestly glad Cody was on Spring Break so at least I didn't have to worry about school, homework, etc. She seems to have taken it as a warning and has made some postitive life changes and I'm just hoping she keeps them up.
On a positive note though, I went to my local support group on Monday night and was able to weigh in and found out that I have lost 20 pounds in the last month. And don't worry, I managed to lose it the healthy way. Even with all the craziness in my life, I have stuck to my plan and am eating exactly like I am supposed to be and getting all my fluids in.
Well, I am going to close this novel before I bore you all to death.
Have a fantastic Wednesday and I hope to pop in a little more often!

Dee, so great to see you back again....where are you meeting all of these guys? sounds like the first one was a jerk....
must have been scary with your mom but hang in there,. mini strokes are pretty common in people if they have high blood pressure, or heart problens etc.
jus****ch her as they can lead to more dangerious o tnes tell her that the next one might be the big one,....my mom said well im not afraid to die and i told her yes but dying isnt the worst part of a stroke, you might not die and be an invalid for the rest of your life....that was how i got her to go to dr. about her high blood pressure.
hang in there as i like to say nothing ever stays the same .....all changes ...
hope to see you on more .....

LOL, I belong to a single's group here in St. Louis. We have parties at least once a month. It's a great place to meet people and get to know them without any obligations. But I don't think I will be going to any for a while if at all. Tom wasn't really a bad guy. I thanked him for being honest with me instead of stringing me along.
Yeah, the thing with Mom was pretty scary. Her greatest fear is becoming an invalid. I think that's why she is making all the changes her doctor suggested.
