Bangles Manic Monday

I am so over not being able to sleep!!

Frustration is the only word I can describe how I am feeling!!!  I have always had some trouble sleeping.. but usually it had to do with an uncomfortable bed. I can deal with an uncomfortable bed no problem I just put another comforted on top of the sheet to make it softer and that will usually work. It  hasn't been that simple. When I a try to sleep I wake up several times gasping for air, I feel like I am dying. What makes it worse is I have a fear of drowning or being smothered so it has been traumatic. It started a month or so ago, but it only happened while i fell asleep in my dads recliner. I stopped sleeping there. Soon after I stopped smoking and using the e-cig I figured that would help..Wrong !!! For 5 days or so I can't even sleep in my own bed with out gasping for air. Yesterday morning at 6 am all I could do is cry it was ssso bad. I just figured I would give up sleeping all together. I got the bright idea to use Vick Vapor Rub in and around my nose it helped I didn't wake up as much.

I am a huge self diagnoser I know its not good to do that.. I know it has to be Sleep Apnea I just don't wanna admit it. I have came up with Asthma, its my adenoids or I am just sick which I'm not the least bit sick. I need to go to the doctor just have no insurance  and if I lose weight that will help too. The weight I lost I seemed to find since I stopped smoking.. dunno why I have Nicotine in the e cigarette . But I am learning what all this weight is doing with my health and hopefully this is my wake up call!

My Relationships w/ people in my Life

Most of the time when you hear someone say the word Relationship most people think of people in love or maybe dating possibly married. I have alway thought the same way about relationships until I got much older. Tonight I was on my Facebook and looking at pics of all my family and friends..  I was thinking about those how aren't with us any longer and all the sadness flooded over me.

The 1st relationship I can remember was with my Paw Paw Honea. I have a terrible memory about my childhood . I remember snapshots and bits and pieces but somethings I have put aside and I have no idea.. But my grandfather was the best role-model a child would be lucky to have. I did everything with him.. I went to church, picked up cans, we also went to the country to get eggs. See my parent divorced when I was about 3 and That one of the bits and pieces things that are in my memory. My grandfather took on that roll as father.  I think he is the reason I am such a sensitive person today.. I am not perfect but I have a big heart.

My mom worked a lot when my sister Eve and I where little. I knew my mom loved us. We just didn't see it like we should have. Don't get me wrong she was a good mom she tried to do things with us when she could. I am thankful for my sister Eve as well. She was always there when we where small children. We today still talk about out relationship with our mom and both have the same feelings about that. See my mom isn't very affectionate, she seems to be more so with her friends, but when Eve and I where little neither of us remember    getting hugs from her. We just remember her not being there for us that much. She would sometimes make it up to us but not often.

I never really had much of a Relationship with my father. After he and my mom divorced she stayed around Georgia a year maybe and disappeared to Tennessee. He left my mom to raise my sister and I pretty much alone with no child-support thank God for my Paw Paw or we would have been homeless on the street.   I remember as a little kid my sister would say all  these bad things about my dad and I would cry and get so mad.. I didn't understand the situation I was only missing my daddy. My mom never kept us way from our father.. but she had to bed him to come get us in the summers,She would cry to him because we missed him.  Most of the time that didn't matter. His parents Grandpa and ''Lou Lou'' thats what we called my grandma when we where little. Would pick us up.. My grandfather was a truck driver and my grandmother rode everywhere with him.. They would pick Eve and I up during the summer and take us everywhere.  We had great adventures with them.

The Relationship I had with my Nan or my mom's mom was ok I wasn't as close to her when I was little like Eve and my cousin Eddie.. Nan and I became close as I got older. I didn't like her husband. He never let me be a kid when I cam e to visit.  I guess as I got older it got somewhat better. I remember working in My Grandmothers Pizza restaurant at a young age washing dishes thinking I was so rich with my $5.00 in quarters that I would spend by the end of the night playing Video games. As an adult  I talked to my Nan almost everyday until she got sick. She was sweet and feisty all at the same time.

I was in 3rd grade or going in to 3rd grade when I met my stepfather. I began kinda rocky because I didn't wanna listen to anything he had to say. But the more I got to know him I realized what a great father figure and friend I have. They stayed married about 2 years my mom had my little brother Kenneth. They divorced.. I found out he cheated on my mom with his ex wife my world was turned completely upside down. Mom had her marriage rebound and married a jerk from hell. Thank god he was douche bag and they divorced.  My mom and my 1st step father ended up getting back together thank god and they have been back together ever since.

I never counted too many friends as such a great relationship.  I had 1 friend I grew up with who I thought to be the best thing that happened to me.. Her name is Carrie.. we where best friend almost all of our lives. But as I sit back and think she really wasn't all that good of a friend she would embarrass me in front of other people she stole one of my boyfriends away of made fun of who I like and then end up going out with them it was like she liked to see me unhappy. I never realized that until I got older and we stopped hanging out because life happens and some people grow apart.  I think I didn't wanna see it.  As an adult yes I have friend very good friends.. but I can honestly say I don't have a friend to call my best-friend.


I met my ex-husband Matt in 1994 and had our daughter Sarah in 1995 then got married in 1996,we did everything backwards. Matt was the 1st guy I ever truly loved. I thought he was different that anyone else I had ever . I should have guessed wrong 1st of all Carrie sat us up on a blind date. After I  was pregnant with Sarah that is when things went down hill. we broke up so many times . I loved him so much  I always got back together with him. We where married 2 or 3 months the 1st time he cheated on me. I went back to my moms with Sarah but 3 months later took him back. It happened again when I was pregnant with Hannah in 1998, but this time I didn't comeback. 
Matt and I still have a relationship to this day.. we have  a friendship we aren't super close but close enough, he know I am there for him if he really need him and I know if I need him he will be my shoulder to cry on and he has been. I will admit I still love him with all my being, but would I ever get back together with him? NO. Just because I love him I am smart enough to know better that to put myself back in the precision to get hurt all over again. 

There are more people I neeed to talk about and the relationship I have with them but that will have to wait for another time. But No matter what we are all still family and that is how its always gonna be.

Lol STUPID song but I am glad it's friday!

E Juice or E Liquids

OK....... I'm not sure exactly what you call it.  I also learned that it's not smoking...it's vaping sounds weird or hippy.  I have been experimenting  kinda.  I love the liquid that came with my No.7 it's just sooo expensive. I am not going out there and buying just any junk, I have been research. I have learned that I should only get liquids that come from the U.S.A. since they or we are pretty strict on what goes in our products.

I have found 2 company's thus far I have tried. The 1st is called Pro Vape. I ordered 3 sample bottle that are 3.5 ml  each. 1st was Tobacco, then Clove and lastly Cherry. They tasted pretty ok I actually liked the tobacco the best.. The only thing bad was it left an after taste, a weird after taste.  Now on a quest to find better. I found Johnson Creek. I got that in today I received 10 3.7 ml each bottles.

   Flavors
Tennessee Cure- it was the best so far
Mint Chocolate ok
French Vanilla
chocolate Truffle - moldy after taste
Simply Strawberry- Smells like cough syrup
Summer Peach-Taste like feet
Arctic Menthol-Barely can taste menthol
Black Cherry-ok
J.C Original-strong
Espresso

I tried most of these they all- smelled the same.. Kinda like Roasted Almond  tasted the same but different. They all have a weird after taste.  I will finish these out because I don't wanna waste money.

I found another company to try next. I read all the reviews and they were all good.
Something there are different types of liquid.. They makes a Vegetable based liquid that is suppose to better tasting.. I will try that next,.

Rest in Peace my friend Danny Capes

January 24,1967- March 15, 2011

I have know of Danny most of my life. He and my mom worked in the same building 999 Peachtree St in Atlanta. Over the the last 2 years I have actually gotten to know him better. I have chatted with him by phone as well as faceook. I am glad I got to know who he really was. Danny went into the hospital to have some stints replaced and had a stroke during surgery. He was making progress we really thought he was gonna get better but god had other plans and wanted Danny to be with him.. Yes I know everyone says Once you die you are in a better place.. That is true.. who wants to suffer.

Danny has been through a lot health wise....But never gave up his dreams. My mother Mary does extra's work in movies she has been in 13 + movies and introduced Danny into the world of being an extra.. He mostly got picked as Zombies or Vampires some where in the monster genera .

Danny career was an Artist manager booking agent. He booked oldies groups as well as new artist. Other than his health he lived. He was Happy! Danny loved each and everyone of his friends! Rest in Peace I hope your new Journey is a smooth one.

E Cig Update

I have been only smoking the e cigarette almost a week with the exception I wanted too see how it would be to smoke a regular cigarette.. And OMG it was a big mistake.. I guess me smoking for so many years I had gotten use to the taste.. It was so bad I almost barfed.  Sometimes I feel like maybe I am not getting any nicotine.. I just thank the flavors are throwing me off I feel like I am inhaling candy. I think I will stick with the tobacco flavors. This time I got Tobacco, Cherry and clove. Clove is a little different.
I do feel like I have more energy which is an awesome benefit.

I have been researching more e cigs and there are literally hundreds.. I seen a couple  would mind graduating up too later. Some hold more liquid and you don't have to fill them up so often, which is awesome and some you get more smoke or vapors. But I have noticed even with the e cigarette I am craving nicotine less.. But Still crave it more at times. I know that is normal.
I will do another update in a week or so. Hopefully before I go in Vacation. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I like answering questions.

This is my Video of the week I am going to start posting a new Video.. I picked it because it's funny watch it!!

Electronic Cigarettes

I forgot to mention. I bought an Electronic Cigarette last week.  I bought it just over a week ago. I did my research and finally ordered on. The only thing is it came with only 5 pre filled cartridges that are suppose to last 12 to 15 cigarettes each. So, at this point I ran out of cartridges and still smoking cigarettes for now. I waited to order 10 blanks cartridges and the tobacco liquid or they call it juice, so I can refill them myself and it will save me some money. I will be so happy when I am finally totally rid of the cigarettes for good. I noticed the difference in 2 days on how much better I had and the amount of energy.

And yes, with the Electronic Cigarette has nicotine. I won't be getting tar and all the other additives. I can also go down the amount of nicotine when I feel ready. Wish me luck!! No more stinky cigarettes!

Weight loss, sleep and Teen boys

I can 1st of all say I am proud of myself I have lost 5 lbs. My youngest daughter and I has been going to the park and walking around the softball field. I didn't get to go as much as I would have liked to, the kids had lots going on,so we didn't get to go some days. But still 5 lbs isn't all that bad. I now need to work on sleeping normally. I try....but it just isn't happening. When I do sleep I get 4 hours.. everyone once in awhile I get luck and sleep 7 o or 8 hours, but I wake up in pain.  I don't believe in taking sleeping pills. I do like to take Melatonin its natural. I ran out and the good kind isn't cheap.. the only problem I have with it is if I take it too early I wake up at 2 in the morning and can't go back to sleep. I will figure it out.

On a different note.... I am proud of my 15 year old Sarah. This morning her little sister was being nosy reading her text messages. Hannah brought me the phone and said mom have you read Sarah's text. I thought it was something bad like someone bugging her or something. What the text all boiled down to is.. this boy likes her and seemed like he was pressuring her in to having sex. He said it's not too bas after the 3rd time and saying he really wanted to have sex with her. Sarah kept on telling him over and over that she wasn't ready to have sex. He finally got the message and started acting less interested. I am glad stood her ground.  I am so glad I'm not a teen anymore. Most of all I am glad I have good kids.
