Really I could list a million reasons, but I won't.

I'm just not perfect. Not even close.

But hey, my kids like me!

So....Whatever.

I was out and about early this Saturday morning--I had to pick up our Angel Food order at a local church. It's a great church--if I wasn't Catholic it would be on my list of churches to check out. They actually have been kind enough to host our Daisy troop meetings and their facilities are absolutely perfect.

I love Angel Food. I don't think enough people know about it or use it. I think a lot of people think it's 'charity' so they don't qualify. It's not! Angel Food is or ...

I think I just need write this down. I can't seem to get it out of my head.

A good friend pm'd me on facebook yesterday to give me some 'news'.

I say good friend....that's not accurate. T and I grew up together--our parents were inseperable for years. We boated together every weekend, we had dinner together once a week, we went to Church together on Saturday nights, we went to football games together, we went snow skiing together, if our parents went out all the ...

I especially hate waking up at 4 am to an SVT episode. This one lasted about 45 minutes. No pain on conversion.

I know I had entirely too much caffeine--but really that is every day. I also forgot my zoloft yesterday--but that shouldn't mean a thing.

Feeling tired and slightly shaky today.

Wow.

I don't think I expected to raise so much....what is the word....interest with my last post. I was honestly examining and recording my gut reactions to a seemingly harmless 'canned' reply.

What reaction do I expect when I say "my son has Autism"? I don't know. Often it is met with "so does my nephew (brother, cousin, neighbor, best friends first cousin)". Other times it is met with "oh, I didn't know" or "oh, ok " or ...

Whenever "it" comes up in conversation with someone who doesn't know Evan has autism I get the typical "Oh, I'm sorry."

Argh. I HATE that. I'm not sure why. Is it because it implies my son is something less than perfect, less loveable or just lesser period? Is it because it's not their freaking fault? Is it because neither of us want your pity?

Probably all of the above.

Yes. Evan has Autism. But he is also one of the ...

Let me start by saying I am VERY close to my sister. She is my best friend. We share everything. We communicate somehow on a daily basis. She is not perfect--but I love her unconditionally.

My mother has a brother. My father has a sister. Neither of them is remotely close to their sibling.

My Dad's sister--Aunt Pat is something of a loon. You know--your crazy Aunt. She's always been a bit out there but after their parents died she really went 'round the ...

thought I'd make a new post as it would get lost.

I only have a few episodes a year. I have ALWAYS converted on my own--except for one time. That took 2 doses of Adenosine.

Beta blockers are what my Cardiologist has 'offered' me. The major side effect of BBs is lethargy and depression. I am already being treated for depression/anxiety and I really don't need any EXTRA lethargy. LOL!

Started at 6:05 pm. crap. Crap. Crap.

One hour--still going. Tried the usual bag of tricks.
