Around this house we celebrate the unconventional holidays. ?I don’t care for holidays like New Years (unless you count this new years) or 4th of July (another stay up late for no reason holiday). ?I do like Christmas and mah birthday (for the presents). ?The best holidays in this house are the not so normal […]
Depression
Happy with a side of turtle shell
Not to self: don’t post poignant stuff on Fridays. ?I should also add to that post, among the sobbing that the child said, “I just really wanted a mom and a dad.” ?Doesn’t that just break your heart? ?I’m still slightly disturbed by the whole incident. Moving on. After 2 years of seeing my acupuncturist […]
You Capture: Sweet
Believe it or not I’m taking this one?literally. ?Or maybe it is just that I don’t want to be like the masses and work every theme into a photo of my child. ?Not that he isn’t sweet. ?That was my original plan, to take a photo of him, but I couldn’t come up with anything […]
If the sun were shining I might actually follow through
I have come to realize that my life it very dependent on the multitude of vitamins I take each day.? and the sun.? Oh yes, the sun.? We haven’t seen the sun around these parts in more than 30 minute increments in months.? I also haven’t taken my vitamins in about the same amount of […]
That blog thing
Oh right!? I have a blog.? I forgot about that old chestnut.? Actually, unlike 3 million Americans I have actual work.? The kind where I perform a service and people give me money.? The bonus is that I get to keep my clothes on… but I still do it in front of a computer.? Want […]
Everything is better with donuts
I seem to have hit a wall in my energy level.? I’m closing in on the end of Sweet Hope and I can’t seem to pull myself up to finish.? I took yesterday off to spend time with the boys and we did our annual killing of an innocent Christmas tree.? I dreamed of candy […]
Christmas in our house
I have long given up trying to make Christmas perfect in our house.? I figured that one out after our first summer when I couldn’t cram enough stuff into the allotted 3 month time span.? Come to find out Christmas is much the same.? There is only so much holly jolly that is allowed in […]
Basking in the glow
Everyone has hounded me to buy one of those light therapy things if I’m not going to take medication for my SAD.? I’ve avoided it mostly because I’m lazy and didn’t have the attention span to sit down and find one.? When I did start looking all I found were horribly expensive gigantic boxes of […]
Let me explain
I feel the need to take a moment to explain a little bit about my depression.? I’ve mentioned before what I have is called Seasonal Affective Disorder.? It is an extremely treatable form of depression (if you live somewhere like Arizona).? Sadly (or not so sadly) I don’t live in Arizona.? I live in Washington.? […]
Verge of tears
For the past two weeks I have been right on the verge of tears.? For no particular reason really.? No major life traumas (well unless you count that I turn 32 in 3 days thing).? It isn’t a “hormonal” time for me.? My craptastic day was Tuesday before last.? That one where I wanted to […]
