Like you talk to much, you're too whiny or you should just shut up because you're not going to be understood anyway? I do. I do a lot allegedly. Today is the first day that I notice the 'featured blog link' and I clicked it - then there it was ... one of my own blogs (from earlier today). A blog that I debated over writing. I blog that I almost didn't post. A blog that I felt was overly touchy feely, unnecessary, and would certainly do no good. A blog that one way or another became… Continue

So I'm sitting on the floor watching a movie with the three boys (including dad) on the couch, when my youngest son says "nice hair mom!" and runs his hand softly over my head. "I don't have hair" I replied and he responded "Yes you do" - that light brush over my scalp did feel kind of weird... I went to the bathroom to check it out and sure enough I have random, sparse hairs growing on my scalp, a few eyelashes and several armpit hairs (those I noticed this morning due to the poking… Continue

It seems like my husband and I have just been so tired of all the crappiness in life and just given up on pretty much everything. I came up with a great idea this morning though and I think it will get us back on track. He seems pretty excited too. We're going to start a business together!! Yeah us. It will probably take a while to get it going, but it will be fun having something worth while to work on together, rather than just the usual work on nursing alone - go to work to support student… Continue

You know when your relationship starts to slip a little. You can feel the distance between you growing and tension rising. It's not like nobody notices, but rather that no one is doing anything about it. I'm tired, I feel like I'm all on my own and I've been playing the hero for too long.

The responses to my last blog were so nice and I really appreciate the calming effect they had. I'm sure that I'm still slightly nuts, but at least everything has worked out in the end and I can breath easy again.
Love you all

Can you believe it - I would completely over react AND assume?! Well I did and I can't take it back. So sorry to anyone who thinks I'm trying to start drama. I'm not, but I'll go soon if it would make you feel better.

But I'm still losing my mind.... I have so very many things that come to mind to say right now... best be quite.

It seems like I'm so comfortable being the bald girl... my self image completely identifies with that, but it's every other tiny little thing that is driving me nuts. That little mole, the width of my fingers, my second toe is longer than my first, HEY is one breast smaller than the other? If there is anything wrong I can find it ... "drop ten pounds CAR - no better make it 20, LOVE - CAR". I think I'm starting to lose it.
Hope you're all far less crazy than I am

I went to the store to return a movie to one of those movie vending machines and I saw her again. She was coming out with her kids and S.O. and I was getting out of the car (that my S.O. was driving with the kids in the back). I wanted to say something or wave, but I just smiled. Time seemed to move too slow and both families appeared to be staring into the bizaro world of each other.

Sigh

Great responses from all really. I just wanted to clear up that even more stunning (to me at least) was the fact that we both are AU. I wonder if she was just passing through?

In the store (keep in mind I'm currently in a town of 12,000 people) I turned down an aisle (the one with asian/mexican foods) and came straight across another woman with alopecia (which I have never done in person before not even living in a city with millions). She was with her childern and (unlike me at that time in the morning) absolutely STUNNING! So what happened you're probably wondering by now...



Nothing ... I grabbed my nori and rice vinegar and continued on my… Continue

I haven't been on in a while. I'm so busy with school, its the only thing that I can manage right now - and I can't only get through that by chanting "Less than thirty days" over and over and over. I'm so tired and ready for summer. It doesn't help that it's been 90 degrees for three days!!!
So I was just popping in to say hello and I hope that everyone is doing GREAT!

So it's always FREEZING in the hospital, therefore I'm always wearing a headscarf. So yesterday in lab and instructor notices that I've chossen to wear with my olive scurbs with a green camo scarf and likes it. Then she says this "you should always cooridinate your outfits." So in my head I think "Are you blind or something, this IS the third term and all" when suddenly another student says very matter of factly "OH she ALWAYS does!" The look on her face was hilarious as if he had called her… Continue

I LOVE that there are so many hair replacement/regrowth advertisements on this site!!! Computers, nothing like real people ...
AWESOME.
