no, but if I had a twin, which I pretended that I did and have scarred my baby sister for life pretending that my twin Stephanie was an alien...and she totally believed me. sorry sweetie. you can blog nasty things about me for this if it would be therapeutic to tell someone about it. love you. I still love that name...and actually decided if I have another girl I would name her Steavie....cute???
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED AND WHY?
When I got the results of my Mental Health Evaluation and found out that I have a Mental Illness....which made all the world crumble around me, and I sobbed for days, without explanation, which totally freaked my kids out, and made everything worse. and now I get that I just needed a good breakdown because my grandmother had passed away and I wasnt dealing with the pain of loss from death, as if I had never experienced it, and then I had a physical, distraught as I was looking and filled out paperwork while in this condition which made me feel even crazier than normal....and i learned that having a combination of ocd and manic moodyness, with a downer of depression/anxiety is not supposidly NORMAL....so i am anti-normal, and I cry alot when I hurt....which I actually think is normal
now, anyone who just read that last paragraph....please tell me: YES, you feel this way sometimes, or NO, you are DEFINATLY CRAZY girl....let me know what you think...and be honest...k

Hey- that was fun to learn more about you. I know you've been struggling in a lot of ways but it sounds like better things are just around the corner. Keep moving forward- you ARE making progress.
I miss my grandma most too. Oh and i love Rocky Road and Peanut M & M's!!
This was a great tag-so insightful! I miss both my grandmas and I feel them all the time (particularly when I had my kids :)
Today, I love life. We have more incommon than CHOCOLATE. I love reading your blog and feel very close to you. Love the Tag I don't usually do tags but you have challenged and I just might. Hugs to you
Okay, Stephanie...you would think that it would have been therapeutic to share just one of the awful-scarred-for-life-self-esteem-damaging stories from my childhood, however when I have shared the whole "I am not your sister" story, I basically loose respect of that person. As soon as I am done telling it, you can see it on their face like omigosh I cannot believe she fell for that, what an idiot!
Oh dibs on Steavie...
