Introducing Me

Introductions Are First In Line

Hello! I'm me!

Many things I am: I'm a wife, I'm a mother of two, I'm a daughter, I'm a hard worker (most days). I could go on but you get it. 

What you may not know is I'm a survivor.

I survive everyday - now before I continue I ask that you not judge. To be open minded, and not to trivialize my pain.
I am aware how lucky I am, there are so many things much worse then what i deal with myself, cancers and other such horrors.
But that doesn't mean the pain I feel and deal with isn't real and life altering.

Onto the confession:

I survive everyday with severe IBS-D, depression, and anxiety.  This affects every aspect of my life. From the minute I wake up, until the minute the pain stops long enough for me to fall asleep.

My children, my husband, my employment, every aspect of my life, down to how I drive my car is altered.

This blog will discuss my life, love, struggles, success and failures.  From the marriage to a man I've known since I was 6, to the day to day struggles of being a mom with a disease that no one can see or cure.

It is my hope to get some feelings out, and maybe educate some along the way.

Maybe, if I'm lucky share a few laughs along the way.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me. So sit back read on.

And watch the poop fly!
