update
things are way better, the kids are home, that kind of sucks, but everything else is better.
Michael has lost the weight…so thrilled about that, our romance has gotten back on track and things are getting back to basics. i couldn’t be happier and i’ve been working over the holidays.
today I love my life. im on the right meds for the depression, though its taken almost a year to get there, that was a rough year, but i can now manage the depression and work through it, it doesnt seem to consume me like it used to. I have figured out that a good cry and a chat usually do the trick and restore things back to normal. either that or a good nights sleep. i have a few more friends in my life, some are old…some are new..both are welcomed.
Beanie seems to be making new friends as well, which is nice. she used to be like me wheni was going through the first round of depression, she was reclusive and that made it hard for her to make friends, but sicne i’ve changed, so have both the kids. they are happier and easier to be around. i know that most of it started and ended with me, that the kids become what we are and that mekes getting through things harder. If i cant help myself, how can i help those around me, including the kids?
i even got the husband to do some research to help him deal with what i am dealing with on a daily basis..they say a little knowledge is dangerous, int his case it turned out to be the truth. for a brief moment in time Michael thought I was bi-polar. nope, just your run of the mill depression. good, one less thing for me to stress over! I’ve gotten loads of support from both friends and family, even the kids are noticing when i have a bad day and they hug me and make it all better.
the fair has come and gone, as has my mom and michael's dad is coming over for a day to hang...awsome. the kids are excited, as they should be. it's always great to see family...and friends.

home
nope, its not what you think. i havent gone home nor am i planning on going home...atleast not this month.
The kids are home wtih me now since my hours got cut from 36+ to 16hrs a week. I work 8 on fri and 8 on saturday. makes for a rough weekend, but i get the best of both worlds. I get to work and i get to hang with the kids and the husband.
it has been hard having them both home, but we are all adjusting to the idea.
it's all good. i have connnected my phone to this blog so that i can update it as current as I manage to keep facebook updated. i know this kind of dropped off the planet, but the holidays are over and things can go back to normal. I have even gotten back into reading books again. I miss the books, my poor nook has been so underused it's scary. that will change, nook, i promise i will wear you out.
