Gonna try to put a new spin on this life....

BREAKING NEWS: The Pity Train has just derailed at the intersection of Suck It Up & Move On, and crashed into We All Have Problems, before coming to a complete stop at Get the Heck Over It. Any complaints about how we operate, can be forwarded to 1-800-waa-aaah with Dr. Sniffle Reporting LIVE from Quit Complainin’'. If you like this, repost it. If you don't...suck it up princess! Life doesn't revolve around you...

My friend Amber posted this on her Facebook page and of course I reposted, I thought it was funny. After all it is. A few minutes later though I was compelled to post a comment underneath my own status. I stated that I was actually on the phone with Dr. Sniffle and he was talking me down from the “bell tower” and that the world should revolve around me after all I am a princess. Was I kidding. Well kinda not. It has just been one of those weeks, well actually months.

I started this blog because I have a child with Bi-Polar Disorder and well life with him is like riding a roller coaster and it has many ups and downs and am playing “shrink” a bit when it comes to dealing with my son’s father who I would swear on a stack of Bibles that he too has Bi-Polar disorder. I haven’t been blogging because Caleb (thankfully) has hit (until now) a plateau and life has been good.

But I have been really thinking about my blog or lack of a blog. My life is a roller coaster… it has nothing to do with just Caleb. My life itself has a lot of ups and downs, sharp right/sharp left turns and even those loop-d-loops. Not to mention that my oldest is getting ready to turn 18 and will be a senior in High School next year. All these talks about college and living life thereafter. It just seemed like something I haven’t done. If my son pulls this off, he achieves something I did not.

I have two people in my life (1 confirmed & 1 non-confirmed) who have Bi-Polar Disorder and they are taking me a very difficult but sometimes hilarious ride. I have decided to try to look at all this from a comedic point of view instead of complaining all the time about the hell that they put me though. If I don’t I might go crazy myself and to be quite honest the stress of it all is starting to take its toll.

So going in a new direction and this blog will not only contain the ins & outs of life with my son (and now his father) but my ride in general… maybe when all this is said and done it is discovered that I myself am Bi-Polar too…. Well see.
