Being bipolar I am having a manic episode for the last few days. The manic episodes last usually about 2 weeks and then I spiral down. The medications I am on seem to be keep this manic episode manageable. It is so funny when I am manic. My mouth doesn't stop. I mean I even talk to my dogs and cat and even my lizard Billie Joe. When I am manic life couldn't be better. Everything is wonderful and I am full of energy. I don't sleep but everything is wonderful.
I have my best ideas when I am manic. But at least this will help me do more packing then I have been doing. I even feel better physically when I am manic. I wish I could feel like this all the time. But when I crash I crash big time.
Unfortunately my daughter inherited this condition from me. I think my mother had it too. Being manic is fun it's the crash afterwards that's a bitch and so am I. Well right now I am feeling great. I talked to a friend of mine for almost 2 hours on the phone today because my mouth never stops. LOL
If you think I am rambling here, imagine listening to me talking. You'd probably like to crazy glue my lips together. You probably would like to glue my fingers to the keyboard right now too. Well I will shut up for now. By the way my 4 y/o granddaughter called me again today and her other grandmother had no idea that Bri'onna new how to use the phone. She got a good laugh out of that. God I love her she is soooo smart. Well I will write more later undoubtedly. Have a good evening and blessed be.

I have to share
I talked to my daughter earlier and she was telling me a friend of her's is going to give her a baby shower. My 4 year old granddaughter Bri'onna said no the baby has to have a baby bath because she doesn't like showers. Needless to say I think I snorted on that one. I had tears running down my face. The things that come out of her mouth, she is just like her mother Kelly always said exactly what she was thinking too. They both are missing that filter between the brain and the mouth. Kids say the damnedest things.
Bri is very smart. She has been able to use a camera since she was 2 and by 3 she was able to play video games and turn on a computer and use a mouse. I told Kelly she better make sure Bri doesn't learn of plutonium as she may end up with a nuclear weapon in her living room one day.
Oh, and by the way I am asking everyone I know if they are wearing hats so that their brains don't freeze. Believe me that got quite a few chuckles from family and friends. So make sure you have yours on hate to see your brain freeze and you end up in a coma.

You've have to read this to believe it
My cousin has been very sick. He wasn't feeling well and his brother, Kenny, took him to the hospital. Well within a couple of hours Bobby was in a coma. This was at least a month ago. They doctors have not been able to figure out what happened and even with him coming out of the coma now they still have no idea what made him go into one.
My Aunt J who lives in the Florida Keys says she knows exactly what happened. She said Bobby's hair is thinning on the top and because Bobby lives in New Jersey and the weather gets very cold there, and Bobby never wears a hat she thinks his brain froze. My aunt is 86 years old and truly believes this could happen. She says all people who live where it gets cold are always sick because cold air makes you sick.
This includes air conditioning and fans. That's why I have rheumatoid arthritis and asthma because here in Florida I use my ceiling fans. I have to admit I laughed my ass off. I tried to talk to her without laughing after that but it was as hard as a vampire refusing blood. LOL
Well I think my Kindle is getting lonely so I guess I should go spend some time with it. It is brand new so it will get lonely quickly. I have a brand new one because my dog, Sterling, broke my other one. Thank God I could transfer all of my purchases to the new one. I would have died as I have about 35 books on there now. Especially the Twilight books that I have not read yet. I have only seen the movies except the last book.
So I am going to sit under my fan now and hope my brain doesn't freeze. LOL

O Dark Thirty
Here it is 2:30 am. I feel tired but my eyes don't seem to want to close. I fell asleep on the sofa and when I woke up I couldn't go back to sleep. I am sitting here yawning but eyes are wide open. Don't you just hate not being able to go to sleep? Then you make up all these excuses for not being able to sleep. "Oh, I'm too hot" "Oh I'm too cold "The dog is snoring too loud" <my favorite.
And TV, my God TV during the night is the most God awful thing I have ever seen. One more 30 minute commercial and I'm going to throw my TV through the window. So I will go try this one more time and see if I can get my dog really angry at me for moving around to much in bed. Wish I was a dog I could sleep anywhere any time.

5.8.11 Mother's Day
Well guess I will take myself out to dinner. Nothing fancy just a diner. I figure I deserve it. Seeing as my dogs can't go in the restaurant and my kids are too far away I'll just take myself out to dinner. I also got 2 shirts for Mother's day of course I bought them for me. I pretended they were from the dogs and the cat. Isn't that sweet of them.
Well that has been the excitement of my day. My son called me and I am sure my daughter is working so I will hear from her later. If I go to the diner I can read while I wait for my dinner to come. I'm reading Twilight. I saw the movies but never read the books so I will be a little bass ackwards.
Well of to dinner someone has to feed me.

5.8.11
Woke up this morning feeling kind of blah. It's Mother's Day and I miss my mom so much. We had so much fun together. Sometimes we would get a case of the giggles and wouldn't be able to stop. We would go shopping every weekend and out to breakfast and dinner on Saturday and Sunday. Not all was smooth sailing, my mom had problems of her own. If I had to guess now I would have to say she was bipolar as I inherited that from her. She also was a victim of child abuse.
Don't get me wrong she never raised a hand to me. But her mood swings could be hard to deal with. But I accepted her the way she was. I loved her so much. I know her dog Sterling still misses her after 2 and 1/2 years. Amazing how a dog can remember.
If I could remind people of one thing it would be to appreciate your moms. You never know how long you will have them. Remember also that moms are human, they have good and bad days. But you should never hold the bad days against them because even on their bad days they love you with all their hearts.
Have to go get dressed and do some more packing today. I hate packing but this move will put me closer to my children. I want to be a mother that is loved as much as my mother was.

Today 5.7.11
I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Cheryl B. I have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and I am bipolar. Some days my posts will be up and happy other days they could be down and depressing, but they will always be honest. I am an animal lover I have 2 dogs, a Siberian Husky and an Aussie Shepherd. I have a kitty named Dallas and a leopard Gecko named Billie Joe (yes after the lead singer of Green Day). I also have an aquarium that I cannot keep the algae out of.
Some days my RA isn't so bad other days I am in severe pain. I also have fibromyalgia which is no picnic in itself. I applied for disablity 2 and 1/2 years ago I'm still waiting. I was denied three times so we are appealing again. Meanwhile I have no income to speak of. But I am doing the best I can do. I will be moving to VA from Tampa, FL.
I have no family here in FL and am looking forward to moving closer to my daughter and granddaughter and my soon to be 2 grandchild. My son lives in NJ so I will not be far away from him or my cousins. I found the cutest condo and can't wait to move.
I am also a huge hockey fan. I am a Lightning fan and a Rangers Fan. I love baseball Tampa Bay Rays and Yankees. I also watch football as long as my Steelers are playing. I love sports and used to play them when I was younger. Unfortunately age has crept up on me and I am now 47. It's not a good age for sports plus I don't have the health to play. I always was on skates I couldn't have imagined life without my roller skates on.
My daughter's name is Kelly my granddaughter is Bri'onna and my son is Craig. What wonderful kids they have grown up to be. I am probably boring you with my introduction, but I thought you might like to know who is doing all this writing. If you have any questions you want to ask me feel free. I'll do my best to answer them. I will post more as my life keeps moving every day. Blessed be.
