My 5 Ring Circus

Despite how I have been feeling lately, I managed to muster enough energy to get my store up and running!  It has been a lot of hard work, still is, but I am having a blast so far!  Please, check it out and share it with your friends!   www.jadelisebaby.com

I went and got cocky, finally admitted that I was feeling great, had been for nearly 2 months, the weight was finally coming off and what happens?  I run into a brick wall!  I'm beyond frustrated, and I don't know where to turn.  I feel like there is something physically wrong with me, I do not think this is PPD any longer.  Yes, I do think I had PPD, but I think the PPD was muddling whatever is physically wrong.  I went to the doctor and the doctor brushed everything off as psychological, but I know it's not all in my head, it can't be, right?  Here are the symptoms: Hot flashes Crazy sweating (like the back of my knees sweat so bad that I leave wet spots on the couch) Extreme fatigue Very itchy scalp Weight gain (5 lbs in one week is not normal) Headaches Increased appetite, but nausea after eating Increased thirst Muscle pain Irritability Depression Brain fog I had felt terrible since Gia was born, I had not lost a single pound since 2 wee...

This is an old post that I found that apparently I never published, maybe there was a reason for that?  Whatever, here's my post from August 1 that didn't make it to press the first go around! Normally I would stay away from the topic of politics, but nobody is reading this blog anyway, so what the hell. Here's my question, what are we voting for?  Really, what?  We think we are voting for representatives, people who will stand up for the voters, those of us who don't have millions to run for the Senate, but really it is all a beautiful hoax.  The rich get richer, why?  Because the rich are paying for the campaigns and lining the pockets of government officials.  So what happens?  Congressmen vote in ways that benefit the rich in order to continue to line their own pockets.  So not only are the wealthy receiving tax breaks at the expense of the middle class, but Congress would also like to take away "entitlements".  What is considered a...

There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home......... DAMMIT, I'm still here! On another note, the Duggars, they are either completely ignorant or selfish, I'm going with ignorant, what's your take?

Ok, I know, I suck because I dropped off the planet!  All I have to say is ZOLOFT WORKS!  Thanks to an increase in meds, I was able to get a handle on my PPD and actually get my life together and find a new normalcy, a new rhythm as a mom of two.  Other than the fact that I'm still in the Midwest, things are going well! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my sweet girls! :)  Gia is working on crawling right now and finding her words (she said Mama yesterday!) and Sage is working on her fear of the potty (2 out of 3 pees in the potty so far today!).  Funny thing is, now that I'm no longer psychotic, I am busy!  I'm actually cooking, and doing dishes, and doing the occasional load of laundry again, yay me! Another exciting update...I am no longer obese!!!  I've lost about 15 lbs in the last month and I don't know if it is just my hormones finally leveling out and my body getting back on track or if it is my gluten free/dairy free diet.  We finally figured ...
