If you only understood..

Dear Diary,
It seems I'm encountering so many people who tend to believe that the 'fix' for my life is as simple as getting a job. I think people may be starting to believe I'm not willing to work/lazy/unmotivated, what have you. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I'd be happy to work. I have no problem with working. The problem lies within the fact that when I work, I become manic.. money hungry.. before I know it, I'm working 3 jobs, and completely ignoring my health. Now that I have had a taste of consistent quality medical care, I realize its importance and would hate to sacrifice that. However, I can't continue to be other people's problem. This disease is truly, in every sense of the term, a pain in my ass! I hate it! No one but my mother understands it and it's so much to explain to the average joe and I don't feel I should have to. My condition at present is the result of years of neglect. I can't imagine it getting worse. I'm essentially one solid basal cell and they are growing and multiplying exponentially!
I really want to relocate. I have nothing to hold onto here. I have made some meaningful connections, but let's be honest. They've fizzled. I'm not going to continue to make efforts with people who wouldn't even notice if I dropped off the face of the universe. I've experienced more than my share of hurt here, and I'm not sure I can withstand much more!

There aren't words..

Had you told me a week ago what my life would look like today, I would have given you classic Jen-eye and asked but surely enough, Friday afternoon after a whirlwind 48 hours of what ifs, a bright, beautiful, smart, insightful, loving, hilarious little girl moved into our home!  We survived our first weekend quite swimmingly if I do say so myself!!  I really struggled with how it would feel to have a child around full time and if I really had that "parenting thing" in me.  Do I ever!  Both of us have adapted quite nicely to our roles and for as long as God will keep her here, we're looking forward starting our new family in our new house as if we're new creatures!  Hard to remember what our boring lives were like pre-kiddo! ;)

My heart is pounding, my palms are sweating, my mind is racing, and my cup is running over!  Yesterday I was just a wife!  Today I'm a Mommy!  Today my life changes forever and I'm already so in love with this girl I can't handle it!  Today is a good day!  Today is the day I add the title of "Mom" to my self-description! Our home was owned before us by a fellow Foster Mom.  She has been a great support to me over the past two weeks and shared this with me yesterday! My life will undoubtedly be changed, and undeniably for the better!   Is she here yet?????

My past does NOT define me!

Those of you who are new to the party of getting to know me might be surprised to know that I've had a bit of a shaky past. Tumultuous failed relationships, perpetual, chronic bouts with poor health, and some pretty early abandonment issues. The fact that almost everything in my life is sailing along more perfectly than the best dream right now is nothing short of a miracle! I've fallen hard for partners who viewed me as less than, and I've invested countless energy, finances, and time in dead-end friendships. It's still hard for me to look at my life and accept that it's real and truly happening to me! So let's get to the point, eh? Until about 5 years ago, due to health-related reasons, it seemed like more of a risk for me to drive a car than it was worth, so I didn't. I got by just fine without one. I started working from home, made a decent enough wage to get by, and even when I had "outside" jobs, for the most part, I made it work. F...
