{Life In The Fast Lane}

Does anybody else feel like their weekends are always jam packed of summer fun? I'm worn out by the time September hits. We have had something going on every weekend for the past few months and to be quite honest...I am ready for the fall weather. Weird I know because I'm such a summer girl but I'm ready to bake some pumpkin goodies, have some warm Sunday dinners with our friends, watch the leaves fall, drink hot chocolate and enjoy Fall. In about mid January I will take all of this back and say I want summer or spring but for now I'm excited.

Like I said we have had lots going on. BBQ's, family parties, Sunday dinners, photo shoots, getting prepared for hunting season, work, birthdays, summer concerts, weekend vacations etc. etc....Sometimes I think I take on to much and then regret it later on because I can't do everything I volunteered to do and then I get stressed out. BUT I enjoy making others happy and so hopefully this summer I've put a smile on at least one person's face. :)

I'm on round #2 of Lupron. I had my second shot on August 5th. What a roller coaster these past two months have been for me. I'd like to say the side effects are minimal and in a way they are. I can deal with most everything but my mood has been horrid. I feel sorry for anyone who has to be around me at the moment. I overreact to EVERYTHING, I get irritated on a minute's notice and I freak out for no real reason. As weird as it sounds I can't even control it. I know when I'm being mean or fighting a losing battle just because I feel the need to but I can't stop myself and when I try it gets 10 times worse. Some days I feel like a crazy person...literally. My hubby tries to remind me that it's for good reasoning but some days it's not worth it to me to feel the way I feel. I hate feeling down and not being able to get out of that funk. It's horrible. I hate feeling like I have a terrible life for the time being...I don't. I have an amazing life and amazing friends and family and I am the luckiest girl in the world. I know my body needs this break so I will continue to take this crazy medication but I sure hope it all pays off in the end because I don't think I'll do this again....

Hunting season begins this weekend but Jake will be home. Sad day....but we have the Frehner family reunion tomorrow and he felt like he should be here since that happens once every 10 years or so. :) Needless to say he's probably really excited to get up on the mountain next weekend. As for me, I will be home visiting with some family that will be in town, having a yard sale to de-junk my home and hopefully enjoying some much needed me time. After next weekend I have another eventful few weeks and I am super excited to post about all of that.

Good Luck, medications can suck. I was on the Depo shot and I know that medicines can change you as a person. I have never felt anything like that and it was so hard. I am sure once you are done it will be worth it in the end. But it is hard to look at the big picture sometimes when you are so miserable. I hope it gets better for ya soon. :O)
