You can feel GREAT!!! coming out of my cave
Laura Parks age 44, mother of 4 children ages 20, 17 and 12 yr. old twins.
Jus and I
Update April 28 2011
Started taking jus about feb 15 2011
I have been on every kind of anti-depressant offered since 1998.
I used to cry all the time couldn’t get out of bed to go to work I have been fired for being late too much
I was so sad
Slept all the time I was not at my job
The high cholesterol medicine and blood pressure medicine had too many side effects so I quite taking them the end of 2010
The feel of clothes on my skin made me irritable and cranky
I didn’t want to live and didn’t know why
Everything was miserable it took every ounce of energy I had to drive across the street to buy groceries
I couldn’t cook meals for my kids
Couldn’t clean the kitchen, bathrooms, do the laundry without being in physical mental and emotional pain
I would cry just feeling the weight of all I had to do in a day, I had to hide in my room under the covers, and life was just too much
I just couldn’t do it.
I would wash dishes on the weekends and then have to take a two hour nap
I couldn’t help my kids with their homework or even get them to school on time
I did not have the energy to care
I couldn’t take myself to the doctor to get my medicine changed, my mom would drive two hours to take me in, and I would be in my pajamas
I couldn’t talk or think for myself, my mother had to tell the doctor what was going on with me and that my anti-depressants weren’t working, again.
I don’t think I ever smiled
I thought everyone in the world hated me and that I didn’t even have one friend
I would not talk on the phone or send letters or emails
I would never go visit people nor have people to my house
I was a social recluse
I let people treat me like a doormat because I had no self-esteem or power to say what I needed or wanted or how I felt.
I have been dancing and out danced a 22 yr. old, she got tired, and I wasn’t sore the next day
I can run up and down stairs
My hands do not hurt from arthritis
The psoriasis in my ears is gone
I talk calmly to my children
I do not shake
I can laugh
My blood pressure is down ten points and I have lost five pounds
I had my cholesterol checked yesterday and am anxious to get the results
I wake up before the alarm rings and look forward to each day
I have renewed my friendships
I enjoy my family more than anything
I call my mom to see how she is doing
I call my brother to tell him that I love him
I went camping with my son
I don’t cry when the bottle of laundry soap falls and spills all over floor, nor do I yell at my children to clean it up while I run crying to my room
I call my children and spend time with them
I want to go to Mexico on a real vacation

I feel 20 years younger! click here
I can dance for hours, run up and down stairs, and my kids say my skin is so soft! I have been living in a cave of depression for 25 years years and it feels so good to be alive again!

tackling
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzvZvSN2Y3k
my boy tackling another on youtube but the ref gets right in front of the camera
my boy tackling another on youtube but the ref gets right in front of the camera
I have never wanted to slash somebodys tires so bad
My kids had to hold me back...
Todays football game our kids are doing GREAT!! We were proud happy jumping up and down excited!! It was the best game so far. The boys were playing great and winning!!
Then this a**hole coach from the other team tells the refs that since my boy limped off of the field a little while ago that he couldn't play the rest of the game. My coach, our coach, went over to talk to the refs and the other a**hole coach and the rules state that if a player is carried off of the field, they are not allowed to play the rest of the game for their own safety.
I am serious I was ready to rip his face off. You think that football players are tough you just wait and see what happens when they piss off players mothers.
We had another player even earlier in the game that really was carried off the field but went right back out and played the entire rest of the game and the other team said NOTHING about that kid. That kid is a great player, too! Our whole team is!
Our team is red hot!! Your team is diddley-squat.
All the parents said it was cuz my boy was doing so good and that really IT WAS FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE OTHER TEAM. Because we were winning and they were afraid they were going to lose WHICH THEY DID LOSE ANYWAY and SET A BAD EXAMPLE because the entire stadium KNOWS WHAT THAT COACH DID. A**hole.
At the end of the game when everyone was leaving the other coach walked past my daughter and she said, "Great game, when #11 was playing!" #11 is my boy of course, her brother.
I am still freakin' pissed. That other team is our in city rivals and we will beat them every game every year for the rest of these boys time in this district.

dang I miss Sunday football
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMWhfqVTMN4
I was ok for quite a while...really stuck to my pride and stuck to my guns, after all I was right, wasn't I?
Then Sunday football started, and now I am just sad.

football, baby
I spend a minimum of 20 hours a week either at football practice, at a football game, watching football games on TV and watching football movies. We have watched Invicible twic every weekend since the beginning of August.
My son is an awesome player!! He is not afraid to do what needs to be done on the field. Best of all he totally loves the game!! He dreams about it, talks about it, gives me endless replays of everything that has ever happened at every practice and every game.
The only thing missing is my favorite Sunday afternoon game celebration activities.

my resume
my resume went out internet wide to any job site I could find Aug 8. I immediatly got some good emails and calls about jobs. One, at Intel was looking for someone to start last week but I sadly I did not get it. I would have happily left where I am. I havn't been that miserable at a job in years.
My only problem is I have to send it from work - I know big fat no no - but I don't have Word on my pc and can't save my resume so I emailed it to work and saved it there...
I don't care actually. The managers are rude, insulting, backstabbing, buger eating morons and I will do anything I can to get out of there. Short of walking out and believe you me don't think I don't want to everyday. I know I would have a job very quickly but I just can't risk it cuz I have a whole bunch of children to feed.
I have contacted everyone I ever knew, sent my resume to in the past ( I save all my job searches and interviews) letting them know I am back in the job market.
This sucks so much cuz I really really really never wanted to look for work again, but I am driving 30 miles each way and spending all my money on gas. The only place I can cut back in my budget is food.
I'd like to post my resume here for you to see, but like I said I don't/can't save it on my pc so I can't upload it or email it from here. Please wish me luck anyway, I think I am employable at least I hope so anyway.

Football used to just amuse me
Now I am not just amused at the game, I am totally confused!!!
Watching my sons practice there is so much to learn and it is so involved I don't have a clue whatg is going on!
I play football on Xbox so maybe that will help a little.
I was a football cheerleader in high school, but I really didn't have to know a thing just jump up and down a lot...
His coach thinks he is tough and awesome!!

next to NASCAR and NFL this is my biggest event this year
http://www.achorusline.com/land/info/mario?gclid=CKf5qMnE75QCFScuagod93sQrg
As someone that grew up taking dance lessons, performing and competing until the age of 20 and is now over 40 and can only dream about dancing, going to see A Chorus Line is the biggest event of my year! I got to play around in local perfomances of A Chorus Line, Guys & Dolls and Grease. Oh and Alice and Wonderland but not a musical version. It was small town stuff but we were good and had a blast!!
I am so excited I can hardly see straight! I will laugh, cry and get chills all over!! I will remember this forever!
