Human Woman - Gracie St. John

Hi, my name is Gracie St. John and I've been blogging here for over 5 years now. I talk about my life, my kids and my interests, my passions and my difficulties. Some days it's a little ditty from my heart. Other times it's a tirade on something I'm blowing steam over.

I guess I should tell you about something that really defines who I am. I have sever Bipolar Disorder Type 1 and I cycle through my different states rapidly. I talk about it, but not all the time... heh. You never know what might happen.

In any case, why don't you visit now an again? I'd love to see you here. Drop me a note. And as always, I'll try to keep it interesting.

Yours, Gracie

The Most Important Days

Mood/Random icon: uneasy
Music: TV - Bones
Random Word(s):

I'm a single mom with three kids. I'm on welfare and disability. You would think money would be foremost on my mind... but it isn't. The most important thing on my mind is my relationship with my children and teaching them to be great people.

Yesterday Jessica and I went to Longbeach in Washington State. We had a blast. We bought a kite and flew it on the beach. It was a blast. We would have gone to the kite museum but we already spent our money.

It was my second day on two whole shoes with no stitches or crutches. I'm learning how to walk all over again. It's been nearly two years since I first broke my ankle. Finally, I'm all two's now. I can't walk normal yet. The kids giggle and laugh at me. It is funny. But frustrating too.

Anyway Jessica and I spent the whole day alone at the ocean and covered nearly 400 miles. Cool huh? We let a SUV pass us a one point and then spent the rest of like an hour leap frogging around the cars they passed right behind them. It was totally cool. Jess was totally stoked.

Today Sydney went to Maia's house for the night. Aleshia Is spending the night here with Jessica. I'm going to bed now so I can get up for a doctor's appointment. I need Dr. Lee to give me a recommendation to see a neurologist up at the University of Washington Medical Center. I figure if anyone can help me with my sever ticks and twiches they can. Some are so huge now that they stop me cold and everyone looks at me. It's going to really start bothering me soon. I keep thinking it's just one of my medicines. Then I think of my brain and push that back to the attic. I don't need to think about things like that.

I'm very tired now. I took a pain pill so my foot feels fine. I have to remember not to push myself so hard... then it won't hurt. Duh.

So again, or for the first time... invest time with your children. I mean good, long, quality time with each of your children. You will enjoy it and you will be growing our future leaders into great people.

Ciao People!
