Anxiety- Seriously? This is what I said to the doctor when I was told I had anxiety. Most everyone has experienced a form of anxiety at one point in their life for various reasons. It could be starting a new job or going on stage or even meeting the in-laws. Many of these situations might cause a person to have a healthy amount of anxiousness, but its when you get that extremely high level on a continuous basis that sets off the alarm bell. Waking up from a perfectly fine sleep in the middle of the night feeling panicked and heart racing for no reason is not a roller coaster I care to be on. This was happening to me. A couple of years ago I started having this racing feeling in my chest followed by icy cold sweaty hands, dizziness and sometimes shaking as if I was cold. I blew it off as stress or hormonal changes. I was going through an enormous amount of stress in my life at the time all while entering the, "Change of Life", too. The sympt...

"My baby is gone!" "I don't care how old you are or that you are a Marine your still my baby and I worry". Yep, I said those words to my 6'1 Marine who is 21 years old. I know he is not a baby obviously but, I worry about him as if he is. Now having said these words to my baby girl of 5.3 and 18 years old was when I got the reality check. My little 100 lb baby girl turned around and looked up at me and said, "mom, I know you worry about me but, if you hadn't done such a good job I wouldn't be able to be out on my own". Wow!

When your children leave either for good or just for college or military training its not easy. In fact it sucks big time. On the bright side you can keep an open communication with them and LEARN to appreciate the good side. Like when you see them succeed! Or when they come to you for adv...
Don't miss out on the little moments! As many of you know raising teens is not easy. We have been through our own trials for certain. In fact our daughter turned 18, wrecked the car and moved out all within a couple of weeks. We were shocked! That was a teary eyed day for sure. My heart broke as she walked down the drive way carrying a load of her belongings and she looked up at me and said, "I love you mom and hope you will be at my graduation". My goodness I hadn't even gotten that far, I was still reeling from the moment. Since then my husband and I have worked and prayed hard to keep our relationship alive with our daughter. While we feel it is very important to stick to our convictions, we also do our best to let our baby girl know she can come home and we love her very much. I reach out to her regularly with invites to come over or go to lunch. So when she mentioned she wanted to take pictures for her announcements, I was on it! Each moment we have to ...
