  • Good morning


    I'm starting to shake to doldrums.  Yesterday I just wouldn't let myself think   And I kept busy in a good way.  We went to church and I was reminded my sisters were competing in a Hershey Track Meet.  So I asked my 16 year old sister to come with me so I could run into Subway without unloading munchkins.  Subway "cooked" lunch for us, and we went and sat outside in the GORGEOUS sunny day and watched the track meet.  There were lots of people to chase my munchkins, lots of volunteers to hold the baby who only came back to me when she started rooting   And I even got a wee bit of a sun burn.  We got home just in time for Rob to get off work, so it was a lovely break.  And kept me from having a pity party. 


    Today is our weekend.  And if the weather clears up (we were HOPING it was gonna be like yesterday)  We are gonna take my youngest 3 sisters and go camping.  All I have to do is sit and enjoy the beach which is less then 10 miles from our house.  Rob will do the rest.  And once again I will be getting out of the house which I'm getting kind of sick of looking at


    I look and see everything that needs to be done, do a teensy bit, and then realize thats ALL I have the energy to do.  And its just sucky.  So I think I'm gonna find ways to escape it for awhile. 


    My 16 year old sister will be a Mother's Helper for me 2 days a week.  She will help with the kids, and do the housework that we're just not getting to.  I'm gonna keep her for at least the summer.  Sunday I don't need anybody as we spend most of the day in SS/church.  And by the time we get home we just nap, and wake up just before Rob gets home.  Wednesday we are at my moms for Bible Study, etc.  and spend very little time at home, so I don't need anybody then either.  It should make things workable. 


    Baby steps once again.....


    Father God, thank you for helping me shake the worst of the anxiety and depression.  Thank you for the husband who lets me talk when I start getting that way.  Thank you for the sunshine yesterday.  If we could have some today I'd be very greatful.  In your sons name, Amen
