Antidepressants



I am sooooo sick and tired of taking antidepressants! I just want to be me again...I started taking Prestiq in may 2010 and it was awesome! Six months later it started to ware off....then the dr put me on a combination of Buspar and Prestiq....I took that for a month and it was seriously one of the worst months of my life...so on to drug...Wellbutrin...not even kinda cool! I feel so bad! Panic, dizziness, nausea, rapid heart rate, blurred vision, massive headache, and i have NO patience with my kids....so I called my dr yesterday CRYING and told her something was wrong...So she put me on 150 mg of Wellbutrin instead of 300...and wants to mix it with Celexa! NO WAY! No more mixing and playing with my brain! Im DONE! I want to start all over again...so Im going to suggest we wean me off everything all together...this is just ridiculous! I dont feel like Raydean anymore and I know my family is suffering because of it! WHO AM I?? I really dont have any real reason to be depressed! Its time for me to pull my head out of my HINEY and try life on my own..Kevin and I talked about this and both feel that If I can concur depression with out any crazy drugs then life for all of us will be better...I let him know that if I cant do this alone then I will go back to the antidepressants, but for now NO MORE ZOMBIE MOM! Im sick of being scared of the side effects of these drugs...seizures, suicide, WEIGHT GAIN! Come on! I just lost 35 pounds and Im not about to let it all come back! Its time to take control of MY life and MY brain! Boy it feels good to vent...what will i do to help myself??


  • EXERCISE at least 5 times a week...Zumba is my favorite! and the best thing is i already exercise 3 times a week:)

  • Scripture study...i know that i cant get through this alone.

  • Motivation...thats a hard one...i hope i can gain that on my own somehow..maybe a combo of exercise and scriptures..

  • MY FAMILY...I need to be there for them...plain and simple.

Think happy thoughts....for example..I have an awesome family and I really dont have much of a reason to be so miserable!


I cant and Will do this...Ill post my progress in the next few months....

SHE'S TWO!!


My little Kathryn Elley is finally TWO! I cant believe
how time flies! She went from being my sweet BIG
9lb baby to a very loving 25lb two year old!


I love her smile and how she will just run up to
me while Im cleaning and just hug my legs.
She says "I wud ooo" that means I love you:)


This is a picture of her sitting on the toilet.
I think it might be time to potty train...
Kathryn is so different from her sister...
She likes to play alone when around other kids,
while Kambree is my little social butterfly.
Kathryn has the BEST manners I have ever seen
in a two year old. Please and thank you are often some
of her favorite words. She cleans up her toys when asked
and likes things to be organized. She will organize her
dinosaurs in one line and then her ducks in another.
I really truly am so blessed to have such a loving kind
hearted little girl and I hope she grows up to be a strong
independent woman....I LOVE YOU KACKEY!

Fracture

Sunday about three hours before Kevin and I were to speak in Church, all four of us were rough housing on our bed....well my bed is HUGE! So lets just say if any little children were to fall off it would be a long and painful fall....well such thing happened this last Sunday....yup..my poor baby Kathryn stood up on the bed and FELL OFF! I tried to catch her buuuut I was too late...She fell flat on her tummy with her left arm under her...I quickly picked her up and loved on her while she cried...I have never heard her cry like this in the last two years of her life so I was somewhat concerned...Kevin and I checked her out and came to the conclusion that she would be fine, so we went to church and spoke in Sacrament meeting(which was one of the BEST experiences of my life)..Kathryn was grouchy most of the day but we thought it was because she had been sick so Kevin took her home early...The next day I took her over to my friend Karen's house to play and we both noticed she was not using that arm and cradling it...sooooooo to make a long story short, I picked up Kambree from school at three and took Kathryn to the ER...They did x-rays and said her elbow is probably fractured but its hard to see in a two year old because their bones are still so soft and because its her elbow...but all things are pointing to a fractured bone...swelling, bruising and pain...We went to see an Orthopedic Dr. yesterday and he agrees with what the Dr. in the ER told us...My little Kathryn now has a very pretty purple cast on her left arm and we are taking her back in two weeks for a check up...i will post pictures soon! LOVES TO ALL!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!




  • HAPPY ...BIRTHDAY ...TO .....YOU....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ESTHER!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!

Five years.




WoW! it has been five years since Kevin and I were married! CRAZYNESS! I must say we have really been through some rough spots the last five years but now things are getting better. I love him more and I respect him more. I couldnt have asked for a better father to my children. I feel like the last few years have made our relationship stronger. We both realize that marriage means work. We both have to work together to make it. Im so proud of the accomplishments he has made it the last few months with school. He will graduate the Automotive program in September and has now decided to continue his education with the diesel program. This program is only three months. The reason he has decided this is because when looking for jobs there is not many good paying jobs in the Las Vegas area with just the Automotive education. He and I both want and NEED to be closer to our family and friends. With the diesel education his options widen and also the pay is SO much better. We hope to be home before February. Cross your fingers. WE MISS EVERYONE SO SO SO SO SO MUCH! Ta Ta for now ya'll!!

Change in me.

Some of you know that I have been suffering pretty bad depression along with anxiety for a really long time. A couple of months ago I decided it was time to really do something about it. A friend of mine here in Laramie suggested I go see her Dr. Let me tell you it has been one of the most amazing decisions I have ever made. This Dr. started me on a medication called Prestiq. I love it! I now feel like I have the motivation to get up and be a good mother to my kids. I take them to the pool and the park, even to the library! We read books everyday and I actually play with my kids. I don't feel like getting up in the morning is such a chore or that doing laundry or the dishes is going to be the end of the world! I love to cook for my family every night and we feed the Missionary's too! I love life! I have lost over 20 pounds since May and all I have done is watch my portions and I never eat after 7pm. I drink lots of water and just try to make smart food choices. I don't crave chocolate or anything for that matter. I have made a life change. I cant say I'm on a diet. I just eat better. Things with my husband are great as well. I love him and I am so happy I married him. We all have our faults and make mistakes and that's what marriage is about. We support each other (most of the time) and best of all we know how to forgive. I'm so thankful to have someone who loves me like he does.

Last but not least...WHAT DO I WANNA BE WHEN I GROW UP??! I want to do hair! I have been so passionate about hair since I was little and when my girls are in school I'm going to go to school! Since I have lived in Laramie I have cut Kevin's hair, mine, Kambee's and four other girls I know. Just in the last 24 hours I have highlited two and colored one. Tomorrow I am going to layer another. I love it! I am learning so much with the few cuts and color I have done and I now have pretty much mastered foil high lites! It takes me about an hour to do someones whole head in foil depending on how thick their hair is and how blond they want it but it is worth it. I did one tonight and it turned out great! Awesome color and IT WAS EVEN!!!! So yup that's my dream. Its not the biggest dream or one that's going to make me millions but its my dream and I will achieve it!!!

poop!

so its been a really long time since i have posted on here and even longer since i have posted pictures! well I'm having problems with my camera and trust me i have tons of pictures to put up! So today's story or complaint is about Kathryn...yup she is so so so sweet! she made me a present today! poop pie! She takes a nap every day and during her nap kambree and i sit on the couch and read or play. today wasn't any different. Two hours after Kathryn fell asleep in her crib i heard her wake up a happy singing girl..Thomas went in to her room to get her and what does he find?????? POOP!!!!!!! Yes my sweet baby has poo all over her hands and is rubbing it all over her body and toys! Well the mess is cleaned up now and I think Thomas is Traumatized..Poor kid:)

Little Girl Lost

So yesterday was July 4th and as usual we decided to celebrate with the rest of Laramie Wy. There was a party in the park so we decided to see what kind of trouble we could get into. The first attraction we went to was a car show, how predictable right. Any who Kathryn was asleep in her little umbrella stroller as I pushed her with Kambree walking right by my side. By this time we were watching Thomas play with the remote control cars. Keep in mind that Kambree is still standing right next to me and never ever runs off. Kevin asks if we want to go get free ice cream across the park and so I holler at Thomas and turn around to follow Kevin to the ice cream. I thought he had Kambree with him, but when I looked at him in front of me I noticed she was missing! Frantically I yelled at him and asked where she was. He ran back to the remote control cars and we both were in total panic! I'm thinking about what could have happened to her or who could have taken my baby, and did I remember what she was wearing or even what kind of shoes she had on that day. I felt empty and scared. I thought my biggest nightmare had come true. I lost my my little girl. While Kevin ran around looking for her I asked people in the area if they had seen my daughter. Everyone said no. FINALLY I heard Kevin yell over to me that he found her. She was hiding by a tree behind a truck! She was scared and I'm sure she was looking for us. Kevin ran over to her and picked her up. I ran over to her and when she saw me she started to cry and wanted me to hold her. Holding her right then was like I was given a second chance. A chance to be a better mother. I cried and held her tight. The time she was missing was the longest two minutes of my life. She wasn't even gone for that long but in just seconds anything can happen. One second she was right next to me and the next she was gone. I'm not really sure what happened or how she got lost, but I do know that It was my fault. I lost my daughter. She was in my care. She is my responsibility. How could I LET her go missing!? I'm grateful that we found her and that no one took her. This could have been worse.

I quit my job at walmart about a month ago. i hated being away from my kids and i really felt like kevin wasn't getting thirty thousand dollars worth of education because he had a hard time studying when i was working. sooooo i quit:) our rent went down to zero!! and i put the girls on WIC...Yvonne is here along with Thomas and we are having so so so much fun. the weather sucks here. its not the temperature thats bad but the wind is always blowing and it rains ! i love rain but the kids dont get to play outside in it. i would have to say its cold most of the time. we have been going to the library alot. the kids love the books and computers. we started going to church like we should. we say family prayer every night and i read my scriptures just about every evening. my relationship with kevin is awesome! I love him more than words can express. he is among the top of his class and is really enjoying school. i feel great and have started on a new anti depressant. its called prestique...is this what happiness feels like?? it feels good. i have more energy and i feel more motivated to eat right and just be happy. we miss all of our family and friends and hope kevin gets a job in las vegas around september or so. anywho sorry i havent posted pictures but they are coming i promise!!

Kambree's Surgery

Tonsils out!


Well Kambree is having her tonsils and adenoids taken out on April 8Th. I am so happy about this because for about a year now I have suspected she might have Obstructive Sleep Apnea. She snores so so so bad at night and sometimes she will stop breathing. Her chest will raise but no oxygen is going into her lungs. She is not a good sleeper at night and often wakes up screaming and very upset. She is hard to deal with during the day and is tired most of the time. She tells me "mom I no feel good"...So today we took her to an Ear Nose and Throat Doctor and he agrees with my diagnosis. Kambree for sure has Obstructive Sleep Apnea. He could tell just by looking at her Tonsils that they were a problem. THEY ARE HUGE!!! This can be very bad if left untreated. It can cause an enlarged heart among other things. I'm not looking forward to her hurting or being in so much pain. And yes there are risks with this just like any other surgery. I feel confident that things will go great and hope for a speedy recovery for Kambree. Wish her luck!!!

Ten Years of Thomas

It was ten years ago today that my best friend came into this world. I haven't always done right by him but I have always loved him and always will. Thomas is FINALLY TEN! The picture above is Thomas in my tummy. My mom and I were so excited I was having a little boy.
This picture is one of my favorites. I LOVE his cute little hiney! Please excuse the fat lady standing next to him...(that's me)...

I love his eyes in this one. I have always loved his eyes. I cant believe he is growing up.



Thomas absolutely LOVES his little sisters. He is such a great big brother and is VERY protective of them.


This is one of the most current pictures I have of him. I miss him. I can honestly say that he saved me. If it were not for him I don't know where I would be today. I have made some bad decisions since his birth but things have managed to work out. I'm sad because I don't get to spend his Tenth birthday with him today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY THOMAS!!!!

mean man!!!

K so im writing about a bad experience i just had in hopes that it will make me feel better. Here it goes....so i have been meaning to send a few things off in the mail for weeks now and just havent done it because i dont want to get both girls out of the jeep just to buy stamps. Anywho today was the day i was going to do it! Yes i was feeling pretty good all day and finally had the will power to get both screaming toddlers out of my jeep in the freezing ass cold and take them in to the CONOCO that also has a post office inside! So we get inside the building and we go up to the counter and I tell the grungy ass hole of a man what i need. Mind you I am a very kind person and I asked for my things with a please, thank you and a smile. A smile I now know he did not deserve. He gives me my total and i hand him kevins debit card. Bubba (the mean man) asks for ID. OOPS its kevins card...I told him it was my husbands and he says thats fine as long as the name on my ID matches his last name...soooooo i carry both screaming children back out in the freezing ass cold and get my wallet with my ID...Back inside we go and he has the nerve to tell me that "he can be really mean if he wanted to and decline my card and take it because its not signed"! he added "you cant write see ID or sign it in front of me IT HAS TO BE SIGNED SO GET IT SIGNED"! honestly who gives a rats behind if the damn thing is not signed. We use it as debit all the time any way... well to make a stupid story short..i completely understood what he was saying and i know he was just trying to protect the cardholder. yay for him he knows his job! BUT he didnt have to be so rude and mean. I seriously sat in my car after he was done drilling me and cried. he hurt my feelings and no i do not believe i should have been treated with such disrespect...anywho he ended up giving me my f...ing stamps and i said thanks in a very nice way and left his dirty ass store never to enter there again as long as i live in this little Podunk town! whew! thanks for listening....

WALL ART!!







My two beautiful little girls have an artistic side to them. I must say I am very happy about this....accept when it ends up on my walls!!!

kambree's hospital visit











I know all of you know that Kambree had a little visit to the hospital a few weeks ago but now that I have finally put all my pictures on the computer I thought I would add the ones we took of her in her room. We found out she had RSV along with Kathryn about three weeks ago. I must say it is the worst I have ever seen either one of my girl feel. Fever of about 105 to 101 for almost a week! Sore throat, throwing up and the poopies. I felt so bad for them. We took Kambree in to the ER on a Monday and they tested her for RSV and said they couldn't really do anything to help her that I just needed to treat her symptoms. Well about a day and a half later she was worse as was Kathryn! Kambree could NOT breath. I have ashtma so I think i can tell when one of my children is having a hard time breathing. Anywho so I took both girls in to the ER at 5am on Thursday and Kambree was immediately admitted to the hospital. She had a hard time keeping her oxygen above 83. Normal oxygen up in this altitude is 90. So in the mean time Kathryn is discharged and they tell me she has the same thing but she is doing much better than her sister and just to watch her. Oh and not to mention I'm running a fever of 103 during this and i feel like crap...oh yeah I'm by my self!! Kevin HAD to go to school because it was the last two days of this class and he had finals! By the way he did great! Ok back to Kambree and Kathryn....so Kambree ended up staying one night in the hospital and was on oxygen the whole time...they sent her home Friday afternoon with oxygen, and she was to stay on it all the time until she could keep her oxygen above 90 by her self. She was on it for about a week and four days and during this time she developed pneumonia in her right lung. So under the Doctors orders she had to take breathing treatments every four hours. Then about a week after she got out of the hospital the Doctor tells me she is not getting any better and is concerned. She said she was going to try one last thing and if that didn't work it was probably back to the hospital we go. So before we leave the Doctors office she gives her a strong shot of antibiotics and the next day kambree had no fever and her lung sounded so so so much better! I think its been good from then on. I'm so happy we found a Doctor who took such good care of her. It was a stressful two weeks but the sleepless nights and constantly waiting on a sick child was worth it. I feel like I really helped heal her. She is doing much better now and will probably take a while for her to completely heal but we are over the bad stuff and I'm so happy she is healthy! So sorry this is probably hard to follow, I'm not good at writing and telling story's but as long as i can understand it in a few years its great!

SICK AND FREAKIN TIRED!

Well we are now going on 9 days of being sick. I mean really really stinkin sick. We all have RSV to be exact. Kambree and Kathryn have it so bad. Kathryn is now finally doing better while her sister sits in bed sleeping, coughing, throwing up or crying. Kambree had to be hospitalized thursday night because she was so bad. She is now home stuck to her oxygen and taking breathing treatments every four hours. Both girls have double ear infections and enough snot to cover the united states! IM SICK OF IT!! I feel like im not doing enough to help them get better. I have called into work five times and i think im gonna get into trouble but my girls are so sick and Im running a fever. You know i would feel horrible if i gave this to some little baby or someones mom and they gave it to their baby and they died from it or something! ok so im just babbling on and on and it feels good to talk. I really hope my family gets better soon. This is getting old.

walmart!!!

ok so tonight is not really a funny story about walmart but just my experience at work tonight. I went into work at six pm and was scheduled to work until eleven pm. I was up working the service desk and about two hours into my shift my manager comes over to me with a panicked look on his face and says to the customer im helping "you need to leave, get your kids out of here"! Im thinking he's being rude and he tells me I need to leave too. I asked why and he replies "we are evacuating the building"! PANIC PANIC!! So the woman leaves (runs) to the door with all three of her kids in the basket and makes it safely outside. I get outside and ask what the problem is and im told its a minor gas leak! ok so its cool they evacuated everyone but the panic management put into EVERYONE was not cool. Anywho i got to come home almost three hours early and they closed the whole store for the night! YAY!!!

sick n tired

I must say I am sick and tired of feeling like crap! Everyday all day I feel sad and useless, tired and worn down. I lack motivation for anything important such as, playing with my kids, cleaning my house and even spending quality time with my husband. I thought I was unhappy in St George because I lived under someone else's roof but I'm finding out that its something else. I also thought it was because I needed to get out of the house and maybe work a few hours a week. That's not it either. I don't feel happy. Well I went to the Dr. here and told her what was going on and mentioned that I am still nursing Kathryn at night and I cant seam to lose weight. I am active everyday at work for about five to six hours straight and I eat pretty well too. I don't stuff myself or binge on food like I used to. Still though I cant seam to shake it off. She mentioned that my hormones could be affecting how I feel and that my estrogen is low since I have only had ONE period since Kathryn's birth almost 16 months ago! I do have an IUD but its the para guard copper one that has no extra hormones in it so most likely its the breast feeding at night that's doing it. She sent me to have my blood drawn and now will check everything. She said she will start me on Wellbutrin antidepressant once she gets my blood work back. OH YAY another freaking antidepressant. Well she said its different than the ones I have been on and it focuses on motivation and energy. She mentioned that most people lose weight on it too:) I feel like I'm in this endless cycle of being unhappy about my appearance and that makes me lazy because I lack the motivation for anything because I just don't see the point. I probably make no sense but it feels good to get it out. Oh and my camera is missing. Cant find it anywhere!! I have wanted to post pictures and even take a few the last few weeks but I cant find the stupid thing!!! GGGRRRRRRRRRR!

Kevin said he would fix it for me but who knows when that's gonna be. He is in school from seven to four during the week and when he gets home the last thing he wants to do is work. I'm sure ill get(make) him do it sooner or later. till then just use your imaginations k!
