Good Morning!

I’m still feeling pretty well (Praise the Lord).  I’ve been a busy bee    and got alot done today already.  (3 loads of wash – yes they are even put away- good start on daily chores, made rice krispie treats and wrote a grocery list.)   Thinking about baking some bread this morning.  My air conditioner had been on the blink for almost 2 weeks  and  I didn’t want to bake or cook a thing!   It got fixed yesterday (cost a pretty penny too but at least it’s fixed!) . 

Today the girls have swimming lessons, so we will probably go a little early to get in some fooling around time.  We can’t stay late cause Monique has to be at the library by 3:00.

Well, I’m gonna go and get started on the bread.  Have a great one. 

Well,  I am finally doing considerably better.  Once I start on the downward spiral it is sooooo hard to stop and change directions.  But the depression has lifted and the anxiety is much less and manageable.  Since what happened with Elizabeth I have had a hard time returning to my diet (Schwarzbien) but I’m now doing much better.  I haven’t been sleeping well in months which always makes things much worse but I’m doing much better in this area as well.

I think my parent’s visit helped alot.  We saw them last Thursday, Friday(the 4th), and Saturday.  We didn’t do much but hang out but just being with them was great.  Played Scrabble with Dad (and won), took a walk with him, and watched him read to Megan.  Talked with Mom, cooked with her and just enjoyed her company.

The 4th was nice too.  Went to my aunt and uncle’s house for a family picnic.  You know one of the things the Lord has taught me this last year is that he blessed me with a great family and I have really taken them for granted.

Since, I’ve been feeling better I have managed to get quite a few things done that have been hanging over my head.  (Another step up)  I had a backlog of paperwork that needed to be done ( oh how I dislike paperwork) but it’s finished. 

The girls and I don’t have alot planned for the summer.  Megan and Elizabeth have swimming lessons and we have our lake badges, but not much else.  We go to the library alot.  I am working with Megan on her reading.

Brian is going to be off for 3 weeks during the summer.  One week we will all be going to a conference in Virginia.  We are talking about what we will do with the rest of our time.

Hope you are all doing well.

What’s been going on:

We went to the carnival one night that comes annually to our town.

The girl’s and Brian were in a 4th of July parade held in a near by town.

This is the band they are getting lessons from.

It was a hot day but they all did well.

Megan who enjoyed watching the parade with me.

Honestly, depression wise I’m not doing great but  I am doing a little better.  My parents are coming up this week,  which will probably help alot. 

It looks like it’s going to be a pretty day here.  Hope you all have a good one!
