Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar!
For those of you that didn't see the post, I'm taking a FB hiatus. I didn't delete you as a friend or block you from my feed, I'm just taking a break. I had a few calls and texts asking if I am ok. I'm more than ok. I'm simply taking time to enjoy all of my blessings with less interruptions. Sometimes breaks are necessary for people like me.
When you open your life up to to the public, it can be tiring. Every time I post something on my blog or facebook, it opens my life up to scrutiny and inspection. My opinions are sometimes taken out of context or my sarcasm can be lost in translation.
I've taken breaks before because of overuse. Sometimes I frantically search for my phone and think to myself, WHY!?!? Because I might miss a few texts? Who cares!?! I'm with my monsters, it can't be THAT important or they'd find a way to get a hold of me (my phone is programed to ring if you call twice consecutively in case of an emergency;)).
Sometimes when I take a break it's because I am busy. The last few weeks our kids have been participating on 5 different teams, had church events and school programs. I just needed more time away from the distraction.
A few times I've taken a break because I'm not in the mood to be positive. I can't stand people complaining that they had a bad day on social media because I can ALWAYS think of someone that is having a much worse day.
This time I need a break for pretty much all of these reasons. I'm busy. My heart is never too full to be concerned for others, but sometimes my brain is. I don't feel like defending my opinions. I want to concentrate on my family and friends and be IN the moment. *I want to be pissed that I have to have an IV treatment of Reclast instead of putting a positive spin on it. I just need to take a little break.
I'll be back and I'll miss SOME of you;)
Hope you all had an amazing Mother's Day!
XOXO,
*During my last exam with the oncologist I had a dexa scan to get a baseline of my bone density. They didn't expect me to have bone loss already, but my body hates me, so of course I do in one hip (hereditary). It's called osteopenia. The drug that I have to be on to suppress any remaining estrogen in my body also causes bone loss. When they found the bone loss and knowing that bone loss is a side effect of the drug I need, we discussed options for treatment. This IV treatment has been and is currently being studied in relation to breast cancer and shown to be helpful in treating not only recurrence, but prevention of spread to the bone. It comes with side effects and risks though. I'm used to that since most of the medicines I've taken or do take cause side effects. Anyways, I'm sure it won't be as bad as the message boards or the warnings from my doctor, but I'm still not happy that I have to have another @%*&#@$(& treatment. I get pumped up again and have this treatment in June. (Not because I want bigger foobs, but they want more skin to work with when they put in my permanent foobs;))
Hair is growing in great and I need to make time to have it shaped and colored! White Trash Tats AND Roots...Aaron is SO proud;) My boss refers to me as a singer that had wild, crazy hair, but I don't know him so I can't remember what his name is. Oh, and I'm dori and can't remember much of anything unless I write it down;) I don't really care though...because I HAVE HAIR!!! :)
Happy Monday. I'm going to buy a Kit Kat now.
