SOME WORDS

I have been missing a few days, didn't have many words to say. As of still, this season just plain sucks, and I cannot wait till it is over.

I just mainly wanted to clairify that my main reason for being gone is that I guess I am an overly sensitive person. Words of pure hate just never set right with me, and I find it hard - very hard  to understand how people can even  think to speak them.

I thought I was clear in stating that my opinion was just that, MINE. Someone asked the question and I wanted to answer it, I was expecting to hear everyone else's opinions of course, but not the words of hate. Again , the opinion was MINE and I did not think I had forced my beliefs on anyone about it. As many times before, it is peoples choice to read, they don't have too.

Since that time, either myself or they have decided that deletion would be best. All in all, 3 friends gone aren't bad. I have seen worse, but it still what was SAID that hurt so much. It was like a side of satan himself was shown unto me, and not since school did I ever feel so ridiculed, or downgrated for being myself.

I KNOW not everyone agree's with me, that is what makes it MY choice, but a simple I don't agree would have worked if you ask me. But appearantly I am just some white trash, welfare addict who has nothing better to do with her time than to be some barefoot pregnant 1950's 'wifey poo' who raise other people who milk off the system and become low lifes that know nothing.

Basically, that is all I wanna go into, but that is just some. No, it is not something I believe, because I don't freakin even use the welfare system, and ironically for THAT SAME reason ! But it just hurt that even though I had - had these persons on my list for a short time, they had assumed that about me.

I don't think I am that bad. I try to believe that there is good in everyone and just want to make friends, even though I usually have a awful time in doing so. Regardless, I do believe what I believe and that is just me. I can't change that.

So the fact that this holiday season is like the worst ever just makes matters worse. I don't have alot to say on that other than it sucks knowing you can't give your kids the holiday they 'think'  they are going  to have. I can be thankful for the 10 dollars to each, but it is hard. Especially when not that long ago, and for all thier lives, I have always been able to give them whatever they wanted.

I am just SO, SO ready for this year to be over.

As, for me, I am ok. Just ALOT of mixed feelings going through my head about things right now.

I went to the doctor on Sunday, basically not out of want but because I got dizzy and fell over. Adam took me in. I thought I was having a miscarriage and bleeding to death internally. I can be a tad on the hypochondriac side. The room was just moving everywhere - like I was on a boat, I thought for sure I was in shock. That's what I get for going to Web MD again.

Anyway, I am ok. I was so dizzy because I have a HUGE inner ear infection and it was giving me vertigo or something. Truly it was very weird...... and I wasn't having a miscarriage. They checked my hormone levels and platelettes  ... Instead I have several cervical and uterine polyps. Ones that need to be checked out immeadiately. I still have bleeding and so I am thinking they do not know what the hell they are talking about, but the cramping has since stopped.

I am supposed to go back to the doctor tommorrow to get checked again, but I am still expecting and due August 16th.

The polyps scare me a great deal though. My Grandma, Aunt, Mother, and Sister all started out with polyps and they ALL turned into cancer. I have a HIGH risk of it ... but not too much I can do about it - but to be checked again for right now. My mother has had cancer like 4 times, so I am pretty sure I cannot do what I had to see her go through growing up.

Anyway, I have to go back to the doctor and will let you know of the follow up.

So, that is all I feel like saying right now, the kids are home and hungry and the house is filthy and needs to be cleaned .. Oh, and I got like 3 loads of laundry to do again. Yay.

I still don't know that I will be around too much for now. I feel out of place. I don't know why. Maybe after these holiday things are over it will pass, but who knows. :o(

A very BIG HUG a special thank you for all of you who contacted me and made me feel better no other way but letting me know you cared and were concerned. That spoke huge words to me and helped me out of my funk - a little bit. It also means more to me than any of you will EVER know. Thank You.

I hope all of you will have a great holiday !

TAMMIE

 

(and yes, I finally got the tree up, lights on, but nothing else. Maybe today. Nothing like waiting till the last minute, although, I don't see that it really matters, it's just more of an inconveience.)

  3. Girl, I missed the thread of whatever is upsetting you. So I won't dwell on it.

    We just met. I love reading you. Keep writing.

    We all have our own opinions. We are all going to disagree. if "friends" left you over your opinion well... the old addage, they weren't friends anyway. Time to pick up, move on and make new friends.

    I find this place a great source of loving care and support. I'd hate to see you deny yourself that.

    I hope everything goes OK for you at the doctor. I know the pain and trials of "not" knowing and "fear'

    I've learned a lot about fear through this btw and how strong I really am. I hope you don't mind if I leave you with:

    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
    (Psalm 23:4,5)

    The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
    (Psalm 27:1-3)

    God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
    (Psalm 46:1)

  4. Glad to hear the baby is fine. And that you finally got the tree up. Maybe have the kids decorate it today since they are home.

  5. Tammie, I sat here for a few minutes not really knowing what to say or how to say it.
    I'm glad that the baby is fine. I will keep you all in my prayers.
    I know you have all had a very rough year, as have alot of other people. I know hearing that doesnt make it any easier, but I'm with you 100%..2009 HAS to be a better year for us!
    Glad to hear that you got the tree up! Thats a start..now maybe the kids can decorate it and could you read them some Christmas stories or find something online about Christmas? Maybe instill in them that gifts aren't what makes Christmas. I know as a parent that we all want to give out kids the gifts for the holidays that they so deserve and want. Sometimes thats just not possible. I know our Christmas this year is the skimpiest its ever been, but my kids know its been a rough year. I'm sure your kids know too, that its been hard for you guys.
    Just keep the faith, put a smile on your face and make the most of it!BIG ((HUGS))

  6. Ahhahahaaa!!!!!!

    Oooh too funny!!!

    Tammie, just take a deep breath and take one day at a time and I understand you saying that you might be kinda sensitive about certain things. None of us are perfect and I really don't see anything wrong with being honest and um, sensitive. I am too, about some things. We all are at some point.

    Try not to be so hard on yourself, ok? I am kinda new still, but from what I gather, you have been through a lot this year and well............. you just keep that chin up and keep doing what you're doing. :0)

    Today's a new day and so is tomorrow!!! Ok? Yaay!

    Soooooooooooooo good to see you BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. Hugs to you Tammie. I am glad you did not miscarry. On top of everything else, you didn't need that too. I hope that 2009 will be the start of a new year for you and things will get better for you. All you can do is hold your head up and have faith that the big guy upstairs will help you through it. I think everyone is entitled to their opinion and not everyone is going to agree, that is just life. I wish you a Merry Christmas even if you don't feel in the spirit of it. Your kids will love you for anything you give them. They will understand!! Take all the time you need and we'll be here when you feel like coming back.

  9. So happy to hear your baby is still with you! That's a Christmas blessing! If you worry about your kids being let down at the lack of Christmas presents, just remember the reason for the season. I grew up in a family of 7 and honestly, I don't remember too many of the gifts I received. It's the good times I spent with my family that I remember most. Play games, sing songs, write letters to one another, build snow forts, play hide and seek, snuggle and enjoy your Christmas meal together. When my dad celebrated Christmas during the depression, all he received was an orange after the church service. Years later it won't matter what your children received on Christmas but rather their love for each other they will remember! Merry Christmas!!

  10. I am very relieved to hear your ok and that you didn't miscarry. Times are tough for a lot of people, and there will be a lot of homes that Santa may not visit this year. I know it's hard for a parent to not be able to give your kids all they want, and hard for younger kids to understand that times are tough. You can make the holiday special in other ways. Being together, healthy with a roof over your head and food in your tummy is what is important. Next year you will have another little one to enjoy the holidays with.

  11. That is so wonderful to know you are okay and the baby is too. Keep us posted on how your doing when you go to the doctor please.
    As for those that said those things to you. Excuse me one sec.....but SCREW THEM! That's all I have to say about that.

    I finally got my tree up and decorated too. Haven't done the rest of the house, keep saying today but heck maybe tomorrow on Christmas eve I will finish it up. lmao!!!

    Not much longer Tammie....hold on.....the New Year is in site and I'm like you.....READY FOR IT.

    HUGS!!!

  12. Ok I missed the part about NOT losing the baby. OMG I'm so happy for you. I did lose mine. I can be sympathetic to how it feels. Take very very good care of yourself in the coming months and be cheerful for your health and the baby's. What a Christmas gift!!!!!

  13. Honey you got to develop a thick skin. People are always going to have an opinion about anything and everything you say. That's where self control comes in though. For them to state their opinion without attacking you for having yours. I find people just need to grow up... not you but those people who attack you. Anyway....

    I'm glad you didn't have a miscarriage. Thinking of any names?

  14. I can't wait for this year to be over as well. I'm really glad that the baby seems to be doing alright, I just hope that both of you can stay healthy! Good luck with all of the medical things and Merry Christmas!

  15. I'm so glad the baby is ok!!! And reading this and knowing that Sheri sent presents your way makes me feel so happy for you. I grew up in a large family, and we each got 2 presents at Christmas. One practical one, and one toy. I never ever felt like I missed out, but then again, that's just the way it was in our family. I know you've said that you've spoiled your kids a bit, but maybe this is the year they need to grow up a little bit. Sit them down, explain the situation, and then move on. 2009 will be a better year. Just hang in there, and keep yourself healthy. (and if you have a boy, name him Owen for me! hehehehehehe)

  16. I hope that I did not offend you in that blog....that was NEVER my intention. I was actually excited that when I read your blog....you put it out there and I felt comfortable in stating my opinion even though it differd from yours. It's what makes us all special. It's your page & your thoughts....I don't know if I could have been as brave.

    Have a very Merry Christmas and congratulations on your future bundle of joy!!

    *hugs*

  17. Like I told you the other day, I am VERY glad that the baby is ok, and I am sure things will eventually turn out for the best.

    Your kids may be slightly disappointed about the gifts, but if you can make the day FUN for them and full of laughter, THAT will be what they remember about this Christmas, not the lack of gifts. So head up, and put on a brave, smiling face for those kids! :) (I know easier said than done, but sometimes you just have to hear it!! :) )

    I hope that you have a fantastic Christmas and that next year brings many blessings and joy to you and your family.

  18. Glad to hear things are ok with the baby. Sorry that things turned ugly on your blog. Did you save the one where you talked about the food and the gift card donations? I think you should repost it and just delete any crappy comments. That was a great entry and really showed the spirit of the season.

  19. Good Morning Tammie! I am so far behind on blogs and it drives me nuts! I was able to read this one but never comment! My heart was filled with joy when I found out the baby was okay! Thank GOD!!! I will continue to pray that things will go smoothly. I too am ready for this year to be over. I think sometimes we over do things for our kids because we didn't have it or we want them to have everything. So it does make it hard on us when we can't give them everything we would like. I am sure they understood. I am glad to hear you got that tree up girl! I myself am a senstive person and let everything bother me! I try not to but I just do. I think you should be able to express how you feel and believe without having people be mean and nasty to you!!!! I am sorry there are such nasty people out there!! The New year is coming just hang in there! Hugs
