I am a 31 yr. old married mother of two beauties ages 9 and 11. I rewas diagnosed in July of 2007 with AA. It's been a struggle at times but I'm dealing with it with alot of support from my lovely compassionate husband, family and friends.
Glad to find a place such as this and hope to find some great friends who deal with the same thoughts, feelings and struggles that we all may go through.
I got your comment and wrote you back but Im nt sure where it went. LOL I totally relate to everything you said and would love to chat with you. I dont have yahoo im but i have aim and myspace im, do you have those?
Hey there! Just read your message through tears :) and wrote you back. You dont know how much it means to have someone who understands all of this. Thanks SO much.
so sorry that it doesnt sound promising, but i do understand the concerns.. YOu can call Naaf and ask what you need to know and go from there>? Just some paperwork and your on your way:-) Two of us would be great or you can work with me too:-)... Let me know more as the weekend enters .. no pressure I do understand about the drive it would just be great to meet someone who is close (kinda) by..
My kids are 11mo(walking at 9) 5 and 2 1/2
Hey BrandyLynn! I just got on here for the first time in forever. I started that new part time job and they love me, so I went full time two weeks ago. I joined a gym and started working out again and I've been going to the tanning bed. LOL, I guess if my hiar has to look crappy, at least Im gonna be trim and tanned. haha The kids are great, so glad school is almost over. I love having them home more. So you shaved your head yourself? My hair is pretty uch the same. Somedays it barely sheds, other days its a little more. Makes me get my hopes up, then crushed, over and over. Somedays it looks a little better, other days, not. So who knows??? How have you been??
Hiya BrandyLynn. How's things? I've had AA for about 16 years, big chunk of my life but yup ,i'm in Ireland and Paddy's Day is my birthday lol Seriously! So all my friends have massive fun that particular day! Haha!
I'm not sure where you're from (I don't know where Loretto is)...but I'm from Chicagoland and got my wig at a place called Naturally Yours in Willowbrook. They are really great there.
Hi BrandyLynn,
Nice to see you here...you look great. Love the music! I'm doing better now but it is a process to getting to this place. I wish this site was here when I was in the early stages --- but then everything happens for a reason. It's great that was can connect like this. I am wearing the scarves from BeauBeau created by Susan Beausang. They are very comfortable and stylish. Have a great day.
Thanks for the invite...I did send a request so just waiting to hear back. I hope the request went through. Yes it is getting colder...not really looking for to the snow! This site is addictive! It's great. You must have been hit with the cold before us down here. Off to work---have a wonderful day!
Hi Brandy,
It's snowing here...not staying on the ground too long though! Well it had to happen sometime! How's it up there? We have to travel to Ann Arbor in this afternoon...should be an interesting drive. Enjoy the day.
How are you? Did it snow as yet? We have some but will melt. Sunday's drive to Ann Arbor was not too bad....coming back was like driving in blizzard! I can't believe that it is Thanksgiving next week! Time is going by fast these days. Enjoy your evening.
Hey I would love to send the snow there....woke up this morning and the roof tops were covered with a thin coat! The roof was being replaced yesterday. Everyone in this area is getting a new roof due to the hail damage this past July. My girls and I were in Canada at the time. I saw some pictures and it looked like the middle of winter with the hail that fell! We are supposed to get little snow all week. What I really don't like is the cold! So how far north are you?
I didn't really have to shave my hair off....it just fell out all on it's own. Now I do have a few patches of hair which are tiny. I can't see in the back but it feels weird to feel them in the breeze as I walk down the hallway at home. I'm never without a scarf when in public. Thinking back to the time it was falling out was very emotional! I didn't go out anywhere and if I did I stayed in the background. I had people who stared and just made me want to disappear into thin air. I got angry...then I started to accept me as I am and now I don't really care what others think. I look at it this way... I lost my hair and I found my voice!
Hi Brandy,
How are you? I hope it is snowing where you are because it is snowing here. It has been snowing everyday lightly....it is pretty but I don't like driving in it though. Talk to you soon..enjoy your day!
Hey Brandy...Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry I missed it, hope you had a wonderful day! So do you have piles of snow as yet?!?!? We have some which is melting with the bit of rain we've had. It should snow again later in the week.
Hey Brandy, it's been a while how are you doing? How's the snow situation up there? It is finally going to get a bit warmer down here is week. Take care and talk to you soon!
Hi Brandy,
I was so happy to hear from you...and glad to hear all is well with you. I figured you got the job and were busy with all the new schedules! LOL
Things have been well here....a few minor upsets with my older daughter but it's on the way to be worked out. I will email later...just getting ready to go to her basketball game....long ride down there! Last game is this thursday. Then I should be less busy! I haven't been on here much either. Glad to hear from you my friend! Talk to you soon.
Haha! Youre so funny =)=)=) Three more days and in Houston. Its so strange that one year has passed by already. Im excited to meet the people from last year.
Hello Brandy....so glad to hear from you. I'm happy for you...you're working! It makes alot of difference.....although the midnight shifts can be rough. The family and I are doing well...getting ready to take the girls to Montreal for a wedding. My girls got out of school on the 29th of May...needless to say they are "so bored" as they put it! LOL! I see here that the NAAF convention is next week....well if it's in Indianapolis next year I will try to make it to that...only about 4-5 drive from here. Hope your summer goes well and all the renovations go according to plans.! Take care my friend.
Hi brandy Thank you for the invte! its nice to meet you.
I work 3 times a monthe at my aunts dance studio. It doesnt sound like much but I give it my best. and they let my kids take classes there.
I have my ups and downs have been down a lot. until I found this place just in time to salvage a little bit of my sanity! lol. I dont like my wig much its itchy but I will were it when I dress up nice.I hope to get to talk to you soon.
