Hello Readers... If there are any of you out there! :)
If there are, I want to say thanks for reading the nonsense I write. So latley things have been interesting. My husband is gearing up for Halloween Haunt, which he's worked since last year. He is an Evil clown this year, which I am definatly not happy about. lol But, now he also wants to become a slider. In all fairness he has always wanted to be a slider, but this year he is really going for it... that was until he fractered his elbow. He decided to go practice for the slider test on his own without anyone and he messed himself up. Poor thing, he is not a happy guy... I just hope it gets better soon because I know he is in alot more pain than he lets on.
Well in better news.... I started Weight Watchers with my mom on tuesday and I really am happy... I did it not to become skinny, but to become healthy again. Thankfully this program is affordable, unlike the one I used last year. I am very happy with where I am headed and I cannot wait for all of the results to come.:) I will keep you all updated as I progress.. I will post before and after pics with my progress...
until next time...
Fierce, Hope & Love

Jobs and God
Life is soooo confusing...and stressful...and amazing! :)
...So of course we all have those days where we all feel a little lost, sad, depressed. Latley Ive been doing well, until I think about my job at Launch. I miss the kids more than anything. I hate that Ive been told I cannot work with special needs children when I too have a special need. Believe me I want more than anything to show these children that I am a strong person and I can do anything, nomatter what my diagnosis is...but I am not given the chance. I have not really vented about this so I feel like it is a good thing I started this blog to help me vent to the air, but in return make me feel much better.
I, for the last few days have been thinking about trying to get another nanny position, because in all honesty, I miss workign with children. I realized pretty early on how important children are to me and I miss my job more than I think anyone realizes. So thankfully today I went with my mom to visit some friends who are recently married, had a baby and just bought a beautiful 3 bedroom house a few blocks away from me. I jokingly told hier that if she ever needs a babysitter I am more than willing to be there, and oddly enough she was desperatly looking for someone to watch over Logan. How perfect!!!!
For the past few weeks I have felt like I may need to go back into nannying....and low and behold this came about! I am sooo stoked and I feel like god has been very apparent in my life latley. I think my prayers are being answered little by little and I am happy to think that my luck is starting to turn around....
....well, not luck because I do believe god is a huge part of this. No, he is all of it.
So things are lookin up and I am happy for the new developments to come. I'll keep you updated...until then...

Day Three of Rebif and a Pirate King
Hello all!
So today I took my third shot for Rebif. I cannot believe how easy this one is compared to the likes of Avonex. for one I do not see the needle until after I am done have to dispose of it, and secondly I don't feel the needle hit my skin due to the suto injector. (Cue the hallelujah chorus) I highly reccomend this injection to those who have relapsing remitting MS. I cannot tell you enough how awesome it is. I mean of course I hate taking anything at all, but if I have to be taking a treatment...this is the best possible option for me.
On another note, Geoff starts his hell week for Pirates tonight. I am super excited for him and I cannot wait to see the show. He is playing the Pirate King and his voice honestly sounds the best it ever has! I am so happy he got the opportunity to do this show, it is a dream show for him.
Well until next time friends...
Fierce, Hope & Love

Im married!!!!
I really need to start posting more often. I always say that I will and then I don't.
Well things have been good since I last posted. I am now a married woman, and I just started on a new treatment today. I am now on Rebif, and even though I have to take it 3 times a week, at least I can use an auto injector and I do not have to see the needle! YAY!!! Life is good :)
Geoff and I got to see the kids for 3 weeks... not much time but the time we did have was awesome and I miss them terribly. I really think I was born to be a mom, it comes so naturally to me... I just have this maturnal instinct and I have no idea where it came from. :)
Well until next time ...

break down
Hello Bloggers.
So I am getting married in 3 months....and well as most people know, weddings are sooo damn expensive.
Well, I had been stressing out about a lot of things, especially the wedding and broke down last night to find out that internally I was upset because I haven't been able to extra things to make money for the wedding because I have been on medical leave. I broke down and let it all out and today is a new day. But I think I really needed to do it because I fell 100 times better today.
Fierce, Hope and Love!

damn you friday! hahaha
Soooooo... Today is Friday! I know for most of us that is a sigh of relif because that means the weekend is here and we do not have to worry about work and just get to relax a little bit, for me firdays are bittersweet, yes here comes the weekend so yay! but I also take my Avonex injection on fridays. This is the injection that I have to take to keep my MS under control. Unfortunatly when I recieve the injection I feel super Ill for a good 24 hours... sometimes less and sometimes more.
I know alot of you Are probably wondering why the hell I would decide to take this on the weekend? Well the answer is simple: I have shit to do during the week, and I really cannot afford to be on my but in bed. Yes, that is the case sometimes without the shot, but nevertheless I would like to be as able as I can during the week so I can do what I need to do.
One of the main reasons why I hate this shot is because during the week I am a normal 26 year old girl..(well I try to be anyways) and I try not to think of my MS or that I have it. I knwo it's bad but sometimes I forget that im sick... and this injection just concretes it for me. Im not in denial of it, but I try to not think of it so much, for my own sanity.
Well, I have a few more hours until I get the shot. My finace' gives it to me when he gets home from work. He is a huge reason why I am still able to be strong. He is so supportive and I couldnt do this without him, or my parents.
FIERCE, HOPE and LOVE!

took me a while to start this up....
Hello Readers!
I wasn't sure what I wanted to say for my first post but I guess I will just start by telling you why I decided to start this blog. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in February of 2006. Ever since then I have tryed to explain how I feel and how thousands of us feel everyday. I created this blog so I could give myself an outlet, to write about my daily struggles and the good things that happen in my day to day life and how I deal with living with MS. I would love for anyone with this diease to read this and feel like they can relate to someone and not to feel alone, which is what so many of us feel all of the time.
I would love feeback, comments, encouragment...anythign youd liek to send my way would be awesome.
Hope and Love!
