I had to share this. It’s totally awesome, and she’s right.

Well I’m not quite sure, week, month, month and a half? It’s been one hell of a something. I have to apologize for the reviews I still have to get up. I haven’t been well. My lyme disease has decided to take over my life and it’s all I can do to function for Fumiko right now. It’s gotten bad enough that I am considering going in to talk about getting back on a muscle relaxer and pain pill. I don’t know if this is just an overly painful temporary flare up, or if it has reached a milestone and just gotten worse. Only time will tell for me. For now my pain is more intense than usual, the migraines happen daily and are so bad that I see flashes of random color, sometimes part of or all of my vision goes black, the muscle twitches/shakes are more frequent and last longer, and light touch feels like a charlie horse down to my bone. On top of it all I miss Sascha so badly. I want to call every day, or talk to him on Skype every day. But when I talk to him I just want to scream come home and cry. So I’ve not tried to contact him much. I’m trying to deal with it and be okay, but it’s hard with all that I am dealing with.

He’s growing up so fast. I feel like I’m losing my little boy. Maybe it’s just me and I’m slightly crazy(okay I am, but still) but him growing up is ever so slightly painful for me. I love him, I want him to grow up to be happy and healthy, but at the same time, it hurts to seem him grow up and it hurts to lose those little things that I will never have with him again because he won’t be a little boy. He’s going to be 9 soon. Soon after that he’s going to be 10, 11, 12, and then he’s going to be a teen. He’s going to reach that point in his life where he needs to do things on his own, without Mommy there to catch him. He’s going to want to be his own person, and live his own life. I’m going to have to let him go and hope that I’ve done my job in a way that he still wants me there and trusts me enough to confide in me. I don’t want to lose my little boy, even though I know it’s inevitable it still hurts.

We have Fumiko who is still my baby, but she is her own person, just as Sascha is his own person. They are so different. I felt the same way with Fumiko when she stopped nursing. I was happy and relieved as it was hard on my health, but I miss it too. I miss having that closeness to her and the bonding, I miss the innocence and her being a baby. She’s now a toddler who never stops and is well on her way to being potty trained and she’s still learning new words every day. I don’t want any more children, but I still have a longing to have my baby’s back. Ugh. A Mother’s love is so bittersweet. Each new milestone brings new and often times conflicting feelings. Am I the only one who feels this way? I know I can’t be the only one who has a hard time seeing her children grow up.

I’ve been not feeling well the past few days. I feel like I’m starting my period up again… I’ve been spotting and breaking out in acne again. I sure hope not. I also have a toy from Eden Fantasys and MyPleasure sitting in our room waiting to be tried out and reviewed. Boo. Also… Hai, you can ask me questions here! Oh and we killed Lich King in our 10m last week. Hooray!

Kai’s work schedule this week has been wonky. He closed Tuesday, worked Wednesday, Closed Thursday, and now has meetings every Tuesday morning and Friday morning. Normally they are just Tuesday mornings. He also has the weekend off. Which is rare. It’ll be nice to have him home for two whole days in a row. Dawn and I talked briefly about having dinner at her house tomorrow, but I’m not sure if we are or not. I’ll have to ask. I don’t think we ever said definitively whether or not we were going to do it. I do know that sometime in the next couple of months I need to go make tacos for her. I’ll have to get a couple of decent sized roasts to cook. She has an army at her house. I’ve been spending more time at her house. It’s been wonderful. It’s so nice to be able to talk to someone who enjoys the same things I do.

I purchased some Dragon’s Blood incense. It was a whole $2.93. It smells wonderful. It makes me feel happy. I’m seriously done with hiding who I am. I don’t care if you don’t agree, it’s my life not yours. If burning incense, and sage and having crystals in my home and things from my culture and things that make me happy and believing what I do bothers you that much well that’s just too damn bad. This is who I am. It’s not right or fair that I have to hide it to make you happy. I don’t believe what you believe, and that’s okay. I’m not asking you to do what I do or asking you to be like me. I just want you to love me enough to respect me and who I am. I am not asking you to like it, just love me enough to let me be who I am. If you can’t do that, then just leave me a lone. Because I’m done keeping it inside. I’m done being unhappy and miserable because I feel like I can’t be me.
