Geez,
I haven't been on here for a long time...typical Mandy, start something and never finish it! But I have made a promise to myself to continue this on. It is sort of a self discovery or maybe mental health therapy, who really knows.
Its been a good couple of months since the last time I posted, but one thing that bothered me is my friends. Now before I get phone calls yelling at me, let me explain. Since I have found out I have MS I will admit that I have been in some sort of mild depression. I noticed pulling myself from people and I feel bad for doing it. Im no way mad at them, but more mad at myself. I have a group of friends who I consider my "best" friends and I feel like I haven't been in contact with them as much as I should be. Some of them are helping plan a huge fundraiser for me to get surgery for MS that isn't offered in Canada (boo Canada!) and I haven't really made any plans to even meet with them to hang out with them...I deserve 2 thumbs down...So to my girls...I MISS YOU and IM SORRY. I call them my Sex and the City friends. I feel as thought I can be my most honest, blunt, sappy with them. I have never been really good at showing my emotions, but I want these ladies in my life for a long time and I feel friends are a well investment!

ugh!!! exes suck!
Well since I have told you about my Boston, I should inform you that during the time we were apart, he was in a relationship with a woman I will call Homer (because she is so homely lol). They dated for about 8 years and when I first ran into them she was prego (about 6 months along). I WAS PISSED!! not at the fact of her being prego, but the first thought in my mind was "you frickin' asshole, you thought because you didnt see this kid, you'd start over???" Well as time went on, I learned that Homer had been trying to get prego for years and Boston absolutely told her NO. Even her doctor told her the chances were really slim and when she got knocked up, Boston was sooo mad. Well, whatever that happened when I was not in the picture and you can never blame a child for coming into this world, they never ask to be! So when the baby was 2 months old, Homer picked up her kid and stuff, took out a loan in Boston's name and moved to Nova Scotia and told Boston they were done (she wasnt even going to tell him she was leaving but she got caught on Facebook). Her exact words were "the only way me and you will work is you have to move here and have nothing to with Cakes ever again" stupid bitch...That didnt sit to well with Boston, he told her to shove it where the sun dont shine and now she is bitter...hahahaha to her... Boston over the years wouldnt marry ugly Homer because he always told her that he loved me, and so we have come to the conclusion of why this baby was actually around (he also asked for a DNA test which she refused to do).....
Well she is coming for a visit next week and I am trying to hold my anger in. Boston's psycho mother and Homer have done some really mean things to my Cakes over the past few months (YES her own grandmother-another stupid bitch) and it is taking everything in me not to do something I could get charged for. I have thought of egging, slashing, hitting but would that make me as stupid as them? maybe but I can still think about it and have happy thoughts! I have no problems with him having another kid, she is a cutie, but what gives this cow the right to put my child down when Cakes was here first!..grrr
I'll let you all know how it goes and if I get grey hair this week!

Roller Coasters
ugh...I had written a really good intro on my last blog and stupid me didnt copy and paste it. I hate introductions though. Can't I pretend that you just know me already? I guess not. That would be creepy. Anyhoo..Im 30, have a 13 year old kid (if you haven't done the math already, I had her at 16) and living with an autoimmune disease called MS. I guess my journey in this so called life has been like a roller coaster with alot of loops....just when your tummy starts to settle, you hit the other loop. If I really think about how many loops, I would probably puke right now. I am just coming off my last loop in my life and I hope they are just little from here now on. Let me enlighten you with the details (you know you wannnnnttt itttt).
First HUGE rollercoaster loop: Going back to my precious gift that was given to me when I was 16...I will call her Cakes. This little person changed my life forever. Was I ready to bring a baby in this world? no, Was I ready for all the responsibilities? no, Was I able to fix this problem before it arrived? no, it was set in my mind that this little person would be with me forever and that meant my life would be turned upside down and shaken like a snowglobe. So on a rainy September day, Cakes came in this world with a fire so strong I still get burnt. My mom always said we need pray that this baby would have a strong spirit. Well jeez, sometimes I wonder if we prayed a bit too hard! She is everything I wish I could have been, strong willed, a natural born leader and self-esteem! and she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen (I guess every mom says that about their kids). I sometimes think these traits skipped a generation from my mom to her lol.
Roller Coaster Loop #2, 3, 4, 5, etc: My relationship with Cake's daddy was a hard one. "Boston" came from a broken home just like me but his had a few more pieces that were harder to pick up. Oooohh I loved this 'man' but he was still a boy. I always thought I loved him too much and he didn't love enough. Unfortunate events happened that caused us to spend 10 years apart. So when Cakes was 18 months. I went on with my life, raising my Cakes alone with a broken heart and decided to make something of myself. I set what I thought was impossible goals (high school) finished that and went on and got my degree. I now find myself in the social services field...I was always a "fixer" I guess. Life went on and guys came and went. I thought I could fill the void Boston left...at the same time I wanted him back, I also wanted to beat him up with my bare hands! Then I panicked! not a good thing for someone as impulsive as myself. I started dating a close family friend in 2005. Our families were close, we grew up together, so I thought this could work out, couldn't it? NOPE we ended up getting married in 2007(even though the little voice in my head AND my mom were telling me not too). Well did he ever end up being phonier than a 3 dollar bill! I think he was having an affair....with his X-Box! I lost of family and friends when this relationship ended. It made see the ugliness of so called "christian" people. I was a sinner for not wanting reconcile this relationship and a sinner for wanting to be with Cake's daddy? that so does not sit well with me!
Roller Coaster Loop # 9: About a year into failing marriage, Boston re-entered. It took everything in me not to throw up in the middle of the Perkins restaurant when I saw him. The fear you can have from one person really shakes you up. But this Boston was different. I was waiting for the rudeness, the cockyness, the reason why I was scared in the first place......it was nowhere to be found! Of course I had every guard up, but in March 2009...we could not deny it anymore....we still loved each other...I waited 10 fricken long years for a truth filled, heart wrenching apology and I got it... My loser husband moved out a month before, Boston's loser girlfriend took off in January and we decided this is it....our Notebook moment! and I could not ask for a better husband and dad. His love for Cakes and I is sooo solid that if I could bottle it and sell it I would have some big bucks right now.
Roller Coaster Loop #10: While feeling the bliss of this new but old relationship with Boston, I was thrown on my roller coaster once again with a very huge loop. I feel Im still on this loop, and its called MS. oooohhhh how I hate it! I was once the envy of girls who could not be athletic but wished they could be, to being lucky if I can fight my way around the ethnic people of my local superstore! I have so much support but I feel so alone...knowing that I will have to stick myself every other day with a needle filled with battery acid like medication (my stomach and legs look like I lost in a major pinching war) just to have a "chance" of being able to walk in 10 years is enough to make me go on some meds that let me see purple clouds and pretty pink elephants. I sometimes want to give up but the long generational line of strong Native women who raised me would slap me if I did!
So for now I am just trying to live life day to day with faith....I was raised in Faith in God and I will admit its been a struggle, not my faith in what I believe but wondering why I was dealt these cards in life. I've really found who my true family and friends are in these trials and I cherish them all so much!
Well thats way more than enough for now!!

Fresh Start!
