If you are stuck as a work from home mom or dad and your computer
just bombed out, kicked the bucket, fried like beans…. There is hope.<br />

<br />
Now I can’t tell you how to get your information back other than calling your
support team for the make and model of your computer. They can be of
assistance.<br />
<br />
<br />
What I can say is there are 3 ways I know to get free to low cost
internet/computer usage.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. <b>Fed Ex</b> :<br />
If you have a local Fedex Office you can rent for a small fee
and you will have access to many different platforms.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Microsoft® Office 2010 Professional Plus: Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Publisher </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Adobe® CS3 Suite: Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop, PageMaker and InDesign
Internet software: Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 8</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Chat software: AIM, MSN and Yahoo! </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>And more </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
FedEx is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They give access to computer rental workstations to:
Create, edit and print black & white or color documents
Browse the internet
Scan documents
Update your résumé
Or just check your email.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i> For bloggers especially this is a huge benefit.</i></b><br />
<br />
2. <b>Local libraries</b>:<br />
Your local library most always has a computer free to use.
It gives you access to the internet where you can use to get on websites that are labelled as safe.You are also in the library so take advantage of the books
and maybe check out something for self development to read on your off time since your computer has went kaput at home.
Things the library usually has to offer<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li> Free Computer with internet access</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Digital archives
Book reading/Storytime</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Free library card
Printing and copying </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Meeting and study rooms
Adult and child activities </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />

<br />
3. <b>Internet Cafe</b>:<br />
These places not only give you internet access, but if you don’t own a computer, or yours has become one with the unknown, you can rent one to use in the cafe to study or work as needed.
The best things about using the internet cafe local to you is:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li> They make sure to protect your information.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Small one time fee or even a monthly use. I’d suggest you call ahead.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Commingle with other people and create relationships.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> You are getting out of the house!! </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
So now that I have explained just 3 ways of getting a computer to use for your business purposes <b><i>(yes there are more)</i></b>, you should get off your butt and get to work.
I know by experience that when you are trying to write a post or catch up on business emails and your computer has died it can be a pain in the butt. So here are some ideas on not being out of business for a long period of time and you can still get some things done. I know I was going crazy when my computer was out of commission. I hope this helps.<br />

Fevers of 102-105 F. Right now I could invest stock in Children's Motrin and Tylenol and probably make money off myself from how much we have needed to buy. Doctors say oh well, you have to just let it run its course. WELL WHY DON’T YOU TAKE THEM FOR A WEEK! Of course I don’t say it but gosh as this point of being pregnant with #4 I am wore out.</span></div>

I mean this has been harder then when my two 4 year olds were just babies and I was alone dealing with all of the sickness. Pregnancy I guess.

I think to myself. Only a little longer. It has been pretty amazing that I found my sample cup of Chocolate greens from the company It Works.

It is actually the first one to be approved as family friendly and kid safe. Some of these Green products you get in grocery stores have added fillers and other things that aren’t for children's delicate bodies. Okay, enough with the ad. So being on day 6, this sickness is almost over and I couldn't be happier to know this tidbit of information.. </span></div>

Tired of the daily struggle to stay awake?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There you have it folks! MY utmost favorite energy drink there is.<br />As I am feeling a bit tuckered out from having kids and running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I then realize I have an It Works Energy in my fridge! So I pop the top and bring it outside to this beautiful view.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The smell is fruity and the taste in my opinion isn't like some artificial flavoring you'd get with other store bought energy drinks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Energy is basically carbonated fruit juice loaded with B vitamins. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A full spectrum of phytonutrients • Potent antioxidant-rich polyphenols • Packed with Vitamin B to support brain function</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Proprietary Energy blend • Helps support the body’s ability to sustain natural energy levels</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So not only is this energy drink natural and you get your energy from green tea and a healthy dose of B vitamins, it also tastes great!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I drink this as if it is a favorite soda.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which means all things in moderation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The energy I have gotten from this drink gives no crash, or jitters like other store bought drinks I have drank before have.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First of all you need to know that day 1 of your cycle is the first day of your period. <b><i>The day you see red blood all day. </i></b><br />
The last day of your cycle is the day prior to your next full bleed.<br />
I am not going to sit here and say most women are fertile on cycle day 14 like the doctors do. I am no doctor. But I have been through years of infertility to be told I couldn't have a child.<br />
<br />
<br />
You can ovulate <b>ANY</b> time of the month. Your hormones play a huge part on when you will ovulate. And you must have a leutal phase of at least 9 days minimum for the pregnancy to be viable. On the average 14 days it takes between ovulation and your next period, your body is working overtime.<br />
Your progesterone rises causing your uterine lining to thicken for the upcoming possibility of a pregnancy. This is what you are "bleeding" and what is in those clots during your period when a pregnancy doesn't occur.<br />
<br />
When you ovulate, your progesterone will increase. <i>This is what keeps you from shedding that lining when becoming pregnant. </i><br />
If you do not get pregnant after ovulation, your progesterone will continue to decrease so that your period can take place.<br />
<br />
So now you know the basics.<br />
<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>DISCLAIMER</i><br />
<i>I am not a doctor. Nor have I had <span data-mce-style="font-weight: bold;" style="font-weight: bold;">Any</span> certified medical training.</i>

<b>Hello to my life and welcome to my brain. </b></h3>
<b><br /></b>If you found your way here by accident, I’m sorry. I think that it is really time to introduce myself.<img alt="img_3130" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13" data-mce-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3130.jpg?w=640" data-wpmedia-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3130.jpg" height="672" src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3130.jpg?w=640" width="640" /><br />
Ha-ha.<br />
Ready for the kicker? I am a weirdo.<br />
I am a married 29 year old<br />
mom who isn't ready to grow up and face this cruel world. I am afraid of a lot and I am<br />
sure in the future I will even write about some of them.<br />
<br />
Now, let's begin on why I started a blog..... Well think of it as my own personal diary.<br />
I want to educate people on things I know and have researched, and I want to review things I<br />
Have tried and failed, things I have tried and loved/ or hated.<br />
I have an opinion just like many others and I feel like if I speak on them maybe some other<br />
weirdo’s out there might feel like they have a home on my page and maybe finally feel like they<br />
belong somewhere. I am the black sheep of my family so you guys are all I have outside of my WIFE and MOTHER life here at home.<br />
As I rub my tired eyes and start my day first thing with COFFEE and LOTS of it!!!<img alt="img_1027" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14" data-mce-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_1027.jpg?w=403" data-wpmedia-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_1027.jpg" height="470" src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_1027.jpg?w=403" width="403" /><br />
My brain was in so much of a fog that when I was on my FIRST period since I had my<br />
Daughter 4 months after. I applied a pad to my panties but forget to attach the wings. Yep ladies, don't get ahead of me here, I see<br />
You already know what happened....my flow overrun and I soiled the couch. Good thing I had a<br />
Red couch!<br />
After that, I looked into my bathroom mirror while brushing my teeth and yelled at myself (in my head of course)<br />
YOU ARE AMAZING! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! YOU WILL SUCCEED! YOU ARE A GREAT MOTHER AND WIFE! TODAY IS GOING TO BE SPECTACULAR!<br />
<br />
There you have it my friends. Really breathe in the air and listen to the birds chirping or the cars passing by.<br />
Both sound amazingly calming to me. You really have to stop chasing everything in the world and just stand still and let life happen. (Even when your pad runneth over)<br />
You are the author of your life and you are in control. You need to take a stand and figure out if you want to stay in the negative feel sorry for me world you are in or if you want to become self-reliant and realize you can do great things and will be phenomenal at anything you set your mind to.

I know what it's like to encounter every day wishing I didn't wake up. I know what it's like to think about a divorce because my husband deserves to be a father, and knowing he would make a great dad made it all worse. <a data-mce-href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_3554.jpg" href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_3554.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59" data-mce-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_3554.jpg?w=320" data-wpmedia-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_3554.jpg" height="118" src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_3554.jpg?w=320" width="320" /></a><br />

<br />
Feeling like my body failed me and like it was somehow my fault because it was my body that couldn't keep my babies safe.<br />
It was my body that <i>killed </i>my babies. The babies I have tried to create for 6 years. The future children of ours that my body took from us. Oh the heartache. <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>The photo above was borrowed from Facebook on a public page</i>.</span><br />
I lost a baby in my 3rd-4th months in pregnancy. There are so many things you wonder. How tall would they be now? Would they have brown eyes or blue, maybe even hazel? What would their favorite color be and who would they look up to?<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #f1c232;">It's a mess. I am a mess.</span></i><br />
<i><br /></i>When October comes I will be writing a new post. Information will be more updated, and more statistical information will be added. I will be lighting a candle at 7pm on October 15th in remembrance of my children whom I never got to raise. I will photograph it and put it on social media #Waveoflight. If you would like to follow me on Instagram as well I am @meangreenmamamachine<br />
I want to pay respects to all of us broken mamas out there who need to know we are not alone.<br />
<br />
Remember that losing your child isn't your fault. We all grasp at straws to place blame with this kind of hurt happens. But blaming yourself won't bring your baby back. Use this unfortunate event to become stronger and speak out. Most people think it's rare but in reality it isn't. The more we speak the more they know. The more we know as well.<br />

Don't worry man it'll get better.<br />
So you may think. Trust me, I'll be honest with you. For me it only gets harder.<br />
<ul>
<li> You become pregnant and worry about the pregnancy and birth. After the baby is here you worry about SIDS and other ailments.</li>
<li> At 1 year you are chasing this little being around and trying to baby proof to only fail when your precious little womb monster gets into the kitty litter box and thinks it's their very own personal sandbox.</li>
<li> The terrible two's come the biting and temper tantrums.</li>
<li>The terrorist threes or becoming a threenager comes the "hormonal times" emotions. The whining and potty training that keeps reverting. If you raise your voice the least little bit and your little girl becomes this weird science project gone wrong.</li>
</ul>

Back to the topic at hand.<br />
So I started working from home in 2010 for a big name call center. I handled medical insurance claims.<br />
I got cussed out on the daily from people who didn't know me from Adam but everything was always my fault.<br />
<a data-mce-href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3491.jpg" href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3491.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-42" data-mce-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3491.jpg?w=500" data-wpmedia-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3491.jpg" height="450" src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3491.jpg?w=500" width="500" /></a>Got laid off in 2011 and tried to find other jobs. Yep fast forward to 2012 still no job and I become pregnant. Come 2013 no job but I adopted my niece when I was 7 months pregnant. It was rough. But we made it somehow work.<br />
Skip to 2015. I found this amazing company to be a part of.<br />
I make my own money. I provide for my family. I go on a vacation that I haven't had in 4 years. Not to mention it was at the beach; somewhere I haven't been in 17 years!!!<br />
I was even able to work on vacation here and there because I was free to. Everything was accomplished by my phone and wifi.<br />
Getting paid while you are sleeping beside your family in a beach hotel room is an experience I don't take lightly. It's something I never even would have dreamed of.<br />
It's amazing to say the least.<a data-mce-href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3493.jpg" href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3493.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-45" data-mce-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3493.jpg?w=640" data-wpmedia-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3493.jpg" height="896" src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3493.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></a><br />
But the downside is the constant mommy I need you. Sometimes you don't feel that you are spending enough time with your kids. Sometimes the tv IS the baby sitter. Sometimes there is some guilt.<br />
The laundry piles up. The kitchen sink gets full. You don't shower until you begin to smell yourself.<br />
Sometimes life just happens.<br />
What do you do? You remind yourself why you started. You keep pushing harder and never give up.<br />
Why? <i data-mce-style="font-weight: bold;" style="font-weight: bold;">Because it IS worth it. </i>Because you don't want to go back to getting verbally abused every single day like you did at your old job. <a data-mce-href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3490.jpg" href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3490.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-43" data-mce-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3490.jpg?w=540" data-wpmedia-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3490.jpg" height="334" src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3490.jpg?w=540" width="540" /></a><br />
Because you may be working from your phone a lot, but you are with your family. You are there to hold your baby while she sleeps. To kiss your toddlers booboo's. To great your husband with a kiss every single morning. It really is an amazing life.<br />
<a data-mce-href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3492.jpg" href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3492.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44" data-mce-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3492.jpg?w=437" data-wpmedia-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3492.jpg" height="588" src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/img_3492.jpg?w=437" width="437" /></a>Be Thankful for what you have but If you ever want more.. <a data-mce-href="http://www.kelswraps15.com" href="http://www.workitwithkel.com/">Change your life</a> with me.

Said child is necessitating love and attention.<br />
Feeling abandoned and insecure in life. She gets beat up and talked down on. Phrases like "you little bitch" resignate in her mind into her adult years. Feeling worthless is one of the many characteristics left behind from the years of emotional abuse. Then there's the insecurity of can she be a good mother to her children? Who know's right? I mean come on. She lived in a household being called stupid and a little bitch, how could she? <a data-mce-href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_4330.jpg" href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_4330.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69" data-mce-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_4330.jpg?w=320" data-wpmedia-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_4330.jpg" height="280" src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_4330.jpg?w=320" width="320" /></a><br />
<ul>
<li>It is an inundating feeling to suppress daily. Reminding herself that her very own kids whom she swore she would never treat how she was treated may very well see the ugly broken side of her someday.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Parenting is hard. Nobody said it was easy; and while you are reaching for your last cup of coffee and your child runs by and knocks it over, remember accidents do happen and the coffee can be replaced. Your children's self worth can not. <a data-mce-href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_4337.jpg" href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_4337.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-71" data-mce-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_4337.jpg?w=512" data-wpmedia-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_4337.jpg" height="735" src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/img_4337.jpg?w=512" width="512" /></a><br />

Governments have taken this approach to the regulation of infant formula, so the manufacturers are not required to demonstrate that infant formula is nutritionally adequate in the sense of ensuring intellectual development, vision, and immune system development comparable to that obtained with breastfeeding. This is why barely if any research has been done or even can be found on the proof that formula is even ok. </span></div>

"<i>It's just another pyramid scheme.</i>"<br />
I have heard this so many times it makes my head spin. When it comes to my livelihood I take offense to that statement. I have done so much research on a lot of things, so why would the company I am a part of BE any different?<br />
<b>Here's the thing! </b><br />
<b><a data-mce-href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5315.jpg" href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5315.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-84" data-mce-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5315.jpg?w=640" data-wpmedia-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5315.jpg" height="645" src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5315.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></a></b><br />
Sometimes people mistaken multilevel marketing a pyramid scheme because of the last three boxes on the right (see above)<br />
<ol>
<li>Promises large earnings with little effort. </li>
<li>Poor or nonexistent training.</li>
<li>Often aggressive in its approach and may even use false information to make a sale. Deadlines that aren't true to urge people to not think before they buy. </li>
</ol>
So, there are some that may mingle together a bit but that is not necessarily the companies fault but so called leaders playing telephone. The message gets lost in transition along the way.<br />

The words get old quick. I sell a product (lots actually). I provide jobs. I bust my ass for what I get paid. Sometimes it's great and sometimes it sucks.<br />
It is really all in the effort that I put in. <a data-mce-href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5323.jpg" href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5323.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-86" data-mce-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5323.jpg?w=472" data-wpmedia-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5323.jpg" height="659" src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5323.jpg?w=472" width="472" /></a> Pyramid schemes usually sound way to good to be true. Well duh!! Oh and did I meantion they are illegal? Cuz they are! MLM businesses are goal oriented and very hard work at times and easily can take over your outside job. Perfectly legal.<a data-mce-href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5321.jpg" href="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5321.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-87" data-mce-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5321.jpg?w=264" data-wpmedia-src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5321.jpg" height="188" src="https://stonedoncoffeewithkids.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/img_5321.jpg?w=264" width="264" /></a> It is all about being consistent and believing in the opportunity.<br />
You shouldn't have to convince anyone to purchase anything from you. So if you ever feel the need to mass message people and give them false info to gain monetary benefit.... you may want to reevaluate your life because that's not how my business works, Or any real MLM for that matter.<br />

You see, most people do not believe that being a parent is a job. It's just part of the life you chose and it's just how things are. You know; because "you wanted
it."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It is mundane and hard. It is repetitive and boring at times. You suffer from lack of sleep, lack of energy, playing referee and all in all, it's just the beginning of our new normal.
But while you feel like you are standing on the edge of that cliff; remember one thing. Deep down you really did want this.<br />
<br />
It does come with the territory of being called mom.
Kids bicker, they fight. But they also give you hugs and kisses as a child, and say I love you. Even at 8-12 they may even still say they need you.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Nobody who has kids are ever truly ready for that step. Even when they spend years on top of years trying for a family they aren't really ready when those double lines show up on the test. The idea of a family is wonderful and almost fairy tale like. In all actuality you aren't prepared to hear any bad news or lose a baby during a pregnancy.<br />
<br />
You aren't prepared for complications during labor, or your baby to stop breathing their first night home.
You really never are prepared 24-7 when that one diaper blowout happens in the middle of the craft store and guess who is covered in poop other than the baby? Who forgot to pack spare clothes? Life happens and don't expect it to be perfect.<br />
<br />

There will always be that cliff at the edge of your feet. You will have to remind yourself that it is worth it. Because it is. It really really is.<br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></u></b>
<span style="background-color: red; font-size: large;">This may be triggering to some so please take note before continuing.</span><br />
<br />
Your best friend looks happy. He or she lives daily life very open and peppy.<br />
But when they are alone they don’t eat, can’t sleep, cry all the time. So<br />
When you lose them you blame yourself for not seeing it. What did I do to<br />
make matters worse? What could I have done differently? Did I upset them in any way?<br />
OH crap I forgot to call them last week. It had been nearly a month since we last spoke. I wasn’t<br />
There for them.<br />
<br />

<br />
ALL OF THESE THINGS COME TO MIND, AND THEN SOME.<br />
<br />
FEELINGS:<br />
1. Denial<br />
2. Anger<br />
3. Bargaining<br />
4. Depression<br />
5. Acceptance<br />
<br />
These are also called the 5 stages of grief.<br />
<br />
DENIAL: It can’t be. It didn’t happen. They are just at the store or in bed. They haven’t called because they have been busy.<br />
<br />
ANGER: How could they be so selfish (I hear that one alot)? How did I not see it coming?<br />
Why would they do this? How could they leave their family behind hurting?<br />
<br />
BARGAINING: What can I do to change this? I wish it were me instead. Why couldn’t it be the evil people and not a sweet mother, sister, best friend.<br />
<br />
DEPRESSION: I can’t take this anymore. I just want to die too. I don’t want to get out of bed.<br />
I can’t eat. I can’t sleep. All I think about is you. I have lost all interest in everything. The sunshine even looks dull without you here.<br />
<br />
ACCEPTANCE: I lost someone. But I have my life to live and my family to be there for. I can breathe again and once again have happy days. I will still feel sorrow when I think of you but I<br />
also feel happy that I have the memories that I do with you.<br />
<br />
<br />
I want to say I am one who has lost my best friend to suicide. She took a permanent solution to a temporary situation. I am angry at her for it and as of this date it has been 5 months since the loss of her. I am stuck between denial, anger, and depression. I have been stuck for a few months in this.<br />

<br />
<br />
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!<br />
<br />
Even if you are the suicidal one or the one who lost someone to suicide. You can move forward.<br />
Your life might suck right now BUT you have the option to make a change. You don’t end your life because it gets too hard. You talk to someone, possibly it’s just a chemical imbalance in your brain. Maybe life is really getting to be too much. Think why is it getting to be so much?<br />
What can you change? Can you seek out school? A job? If it is a bad relationship, you can leave. ASK FOR HELP! Do not let your ego or fear hold you back. You are very strong and you can overcome this slump you feel like you are in. I promise.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor, therapist, or anyone who is medically capable of giving medical advice. Please if you feel suicidal or even need someone to talk to please seek help.<br />

<br />
Suicide claims more lives than war, murder, and natural disasters combined.<br />
General<br />
In 2014 (latest available data), there were 42,773 reported suicide deaths.<br />
Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death for adults between the ages of 15 and 64 years in the United States.<br />
Currently, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States.<br />
A person dies by suicide about every 12.3 minutes in the United States.<br />
Every day, approximately 117 Americans take their own life.<br />
Ninety percent of all people who die by suicide have a diagnosable psychiatric disorder at the time of their death.<br />
There are 3.5 male suicides for every female suicide, but three times as many females as males attempt suicide.<br />
494,169 people visited a hospital for injuries due to self-harm behavior, suggesting that approximately 12 people harm themselves (not necessarily intending to take their lives) for every reported death by suicide.<br />

<h3>
Motherhood.</h3>
<div>
This is something I do not take lightly. It took me 6 years to become a mother to a living child. All thanks to a mother and father who decided to bless my husband and I with a child. A child whom I did not know would bring me to the brink of insanity but also show me a love I did not know could exist. Let's get back to the point in hand here.<br />
<br />
I am a little late in posting for mothers day but life has been a bit hectic. I just know I got wished a happy mothers day by so many people on mothers day. But I wouldn't have been such a wonderful mother at the time if it weren't for her. C is like a sister to me. Though her and I didn't exactly like one another to begin with. Fast forward about 3 years and the positive test came.<br />

She came to me and I brought that cheap Walmart .88 cent test.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She went to the bathroom and she hollered for J her boyfriend (Also my bro)</div>
My husband and I sit in the living room staring at each other with our hearts in our stomachs.<br />
I mouthed to my husband SHE IS PREGNANT!<br />
J goes to the bathroom and comes out as quick as he went in.<br />
gave me the come here gesture and I followed him to the back porch.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He says to me," You know we can't take care of another kid, do you still want it?"</div>
Taking everything in me not to scream and jump up and down. I vocalize the very small but huge word to me "Yes".<br />
<br />
<br />
Fast-forward another month or so I find out I am pregnant.<br />
Through the whole pregnancy of mine I am having preterm-labor and high chances of loss.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At 7 months pregnant I get "The Call" She is in labor.</div>
It was 12:00 am at night. My nephew was sleeping and I was watching tv. My bro R called me and says C is on the way to the hospital that we need to hurry up. So S and I get B up and take him next door to the sitter.<br />

About 15 minutes later R calls back and says have you left yet and I said pulling out the driveway now and he was like oh man you aint gonna make it.<br />
I said yes I will. With S going about 80 and we had a 30 minute drive, we got there 21 minutes before she came into this world. Our very first daughter K.M. Being 7 months pregnant myself I couldn't put into words just how I felt. It was so bittersweet. C was crying because she was alone. J was not with her for reasons he couldn't control. I wanted to be her rock. I also wanted to hold this beautiful soul C gifted us. My husband S was the very first one to hold her, the first one she touched.<br />

At 7 and a half months pregnant I slept in a straight back chair that had no cusion just to stay with this beauty and give C support and company as well. C and I bonded in ways a birth mom and hopeful mom to be I didn't know could. I am so glad. So I may be late this year writing a blog post about it</div>
I still want to publicly show my undivided attention and unconditional love to a very special mom in my life. C, I could never thank you enough for the amazing gift you gave me and S. Happy Mothers Day.<br />

There are many causes of brain fog.
First of all it isn’t a medical condition. It is a symptom that affects your brain functionality.
<br />

HOLY CRAP I can’t think straight!</b> </span><br />
<br />
Pregnancy is a common cause of brain fog for women. Carrying a baby can change the chemicals in your body that results in memory loss.
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Menopause</b> will also put you in a fog you feel you can’t sway from. Hormones shape the way your brain acts and reacts.
High levels of hormones impact the neurons in the memory-focused part of the brain called the hippocampus

<b>Mood swings</b> are something you should pay attention to. It can be a sign of depression. You naturally do not feel as sharp when you have any sort of mental disorder or disability.<br />
<br />
<b>Let's not</b> forget that some medications have <u>side effects</u> that are bad for the brain function so if you have brain fog, take a look at what medications you are on and ask your doctor about it.<br />

I am trying to figure out dinner for tomorrow as I am passing out from the lack of sleep. I am trying but I am failing. Oh forget it. I think it may be time to lay back and...just close my eyes.<br />
<br />
Does this sound like you? Yeah I thought so. See we are always trying to schedule this and that. We are always trying to be in control of everything. Truth is, we're not. We need to take one day at a time, live life, and we will be happy and feel more accomplished.<br />
