Fibromyalgia: A Long Road to Comfort

February 12, 2012, by Kat Robertson 64 views | 7 comments

As you all know, I’ve been battling the symptoms and limitations of Fibromyalgia for nearly 20 solid years. I was diagnosed in the latter part of 1992 and have written about my experiences with the disease a few times since I started blogging not long after our 12-year-old daughter was born. Over the last few months, I’ve [...]

Parental Alienation Syndrome: Points to Ponder

February 7, 2012, by Kat Robertson 78 views | 8 comments

There is nothing more harmful to a child than to be in the middle of a never-ending raging war between their parents. When a child is made to feel as though they must choose between two parents or when a child is purposely alienated from one parent by the other, the best interests of that [...]

As you all know by now, I’ve never been very enthusiastic about television. With five children, it’s always been rather difficult to watch anything from start to finish. As the kids are getting older, however, I’m getting back into enjoying TV as a regular form of entertainment. Since Barry got me a new DLP cinema [...]

I’ll Never Be Called “Mommy” for the First Time Again

December 13, 2011, by Kat Robertson 166 views | 17 comments

Barry and I finally made our decision regarding more kids. Granted, we have 5 and most people are in awe of that but there is so much more to think about on our end… I’m only 28 and by the time our youngest is in middle school and our oldest is heading off to college, [...]

Mamavation: Week 4 (for me)

December 12, 2011, by Kat Robertson 34 views | 4 comments

I’ve done a pretty terrible job of drinking water, eating right, and exercising over the last two weeks (if you hadn’t noticed, I didn’t even update last Monday) but in my defense, Fibromyalgia has been kicking my butt.
