Let the games begin

My journey to Phoenix started in July of 2007. I was going to school in Auburn Hills, MI at Baker College, I graduated from there in June and then my sister told me about a school district near her that was hiring. Well, since I couldn't find a job at a school in MI I went to see her and was hired a week after arriving in Phoenix. I moved to Phoenix in October, 2007. I left the school in January of 2008(long story)and went to work at an eyeglass store, where I am today and much happier.

My son on the other hand is another story. He will be 18 in January, ok he does have a name(DJ). I created this site as an outlet to vent and make friends, and if anyone who reads this can offer any friendly advice, I am more than willing to listen.

Let me go back briefly, DJ has been on many meds in his life and there are to many to mention. We were even told that he has depression and Bipolar and therefore needs psychotic meds. Well that is where the nightmare began. The Doctor decided that he should be put on Paxil, and Geodon, on top of the Topamax and Depakote. He was worse on them then without them. I wasn't crazy about the idea but went along with the thought that maybe my son would be happier or at least on a more even keel. Boy was I wrong. His moods were unpredictable and I never knew what to say in front of him.

Well it took three months of begging to have him taken off it, but the Doctor finally did and now DJ is finally getting back to how he was before(more predictable and agreeable). I do have one problem however, how can you get them motivated for school when they take meds at 9:30pm are in bed at 10pm and can't up at 6:30am. I finally took the Xbox away.

I also started a second business to have another way to vent. I house sit for my neighbors and am trying to get into the travel industry, or at least making reservations from home.

We also have a cat named Mozart, he has a twin and is the sweetest cat ever. If I figure out how to post pictures I will put some on here.

Next time I will tell the incredible story of how my sister and I met after 30 years of being apart.

All for now
