Wow what a week its been for me. My emotions have been on high alert between kids, scouts and life in general. It all started on Sunday with a call there was a major fire about 20 miles outside North of town and our town was downwind of this fire. My mind and nerves starting going crazy over all of the what ifs....you know those crazy things that come into your mind that just drive you to the edge to make you want to jump off not knowing whats below. Thank goodness Dennis unknowingly picked up on my stress and we talked about all the things that could happen and what we would do if it did happen. This really put my mind at ease ( is it sad to say I kinda dreamed about my dream kitchen if my house had burned?) Well thanks to our Fire fighters they finally got the fire out on Wednesday. We are so thankful to our Firefighters and all the work they have done!
I am slowly on the downhill slide of the emotional roller coaster!
Tomorrow is a major fundraiser for our Boyscout troop. We are raising our funds so we can go to our High Adventure Camp next June. Its 650 a person so if you don't buy any of our fundraiser but want to help send someone to camp let me know. We take all donations. :)
I know that while the kids really aren't doing anything to get on my nerves they are on my nerves. Their grades are great for this first progress report. They are handling school better this year that last. They have great friends and great support from so many people and for this I am thankful! Its nothing the kids have done really its just me and my roller coaster :) They have just learned to stand back when mom gets stressed. Or depressed.
I fight depression on a daily basis. Some days are better than others. I am no longer taking most of my medicine and I seem to be doing alright. Sure I have some days that I am really down but those days are few and far between than what they used to be. I certainly have more up days than down and that I thank the Lord for!
Oh....on a good note..... Dennis and I made hula hoops and we have doing a hula hoop challenge where we hoop it up for 30 minutes a day every day during the month of September. I am not very good but I really enjoy the memories that we are making with the kids and each other! Not to mention it is serious exercise....By the end of my 30 minutes I have sweat dripping in places that does not usually have sweat dripping! Thanks Christine Moers for all the help and encouragement!
Sorry about the randomness of this blog....trying to hit all that is on my mind in one blog not 3....:)
