They’ve finally all started rebelling against doing the dishes. We’ve rolled for who is doing the dishes tonight. Now the three kids have a set order of who has to do the dishes when. No more arguing.

My place where my tooth was pulled last Friday still hurts. I’ve just had two pain pills. They’ll wear off before I have to take Jess to martial arts. Although I doubt she’ll want to go. She’s Menstral! Driving me nuts. I’m in pain. Made me cry. She’s in her room taking a nap. Best thing for a bitch is a nap I always say… even to my son. lol

I hope the rest of the night is calmer and pain free.

Ok, watching Johnston on all the tabloid evening shows is making me feel pregnant… I want to puke. He has no brain, no morals, no ability to be a father and he’s a rumormonger. My respect for Entertainment Tonight and The Insider is at an all time low. They take his opinions seriously and his threats against Mrs. Palin as valid and truthful but won’t disclose what they are. How are we to judge his veracity if all he does is pose and pose and pose and pose and then hang out with Jon Gosselin, world’s best dad?

The vomit meter is high.

There is another gianormous fly that’s been flying around the house all day. One of the cats spent some serious time staring at it as it whizzed past her whiskered face. It didn’t take long for her to dismiss catching it as belonging to the “too much effort” category.

The Seahawks are losing. Third quarter. Still think it might be a good season.

My Bipolar – What is It??
For many people having Bipolar Disorder Type 1 is a death sentence literally. For many others they become the walking tortured. In general:

BIPOLAR DISORDER IS:
A lifelong condition in which people have very high and very low mood swings. Each time they feel one of these it is called an episode. Some of us have these symptoms all our life. One expert describes the illness as “a roller-coaster ride for patients and those around them. Restless, grouchy, or happy moods may become an episode of mania. Feeling tired, empty, or very sad may become an episode of depression.” I also have what is known as a mixed episode. This is when I have an episodes of both mania and depression at the same time. Screwy huh?

FACT: Bipolar Disorder affects more than 5.7 million Americans.

It is an illness where many suffer from it, but we all do so very much in our own hell. People around us don’t have any comprehension of what it does to us. If you have it, then this blog is for you and the people who judge and don’t understand why you just stood up and screamed at your kid in front of their friends and totally embarrassing them for something you can’t even remember what when you’re able to finally stop the tirade.

In the past I’ve been unable and unwilling to share my Bipolar Journey publicly. Sometimes I can’t believe the things I do and say.  When I try to make friends I eventually tell them about the disease and they inevitably treat me differently. I have to expand my limited group of friends, those I can tell about it and just treat it as they would any other diseases. It isn’t like I walk around with men’s underpants on my head now is it?  At least I don’t think anyone got a picture of that –

I’m going to jump around writing this. It’s how my brain works. My three kids follow me most of the time, but there are times when even I don’t know what I’m blathering on about.
