Today

Well the day started off pretty good although I overslept and missed getting to the boys school for their awards. I had energy enough to do some through cleaning...this is when things took a turn for the worst. When I went to move my ottoman, which had my hubby's computer on top of it, the darn thing flipped off the little desk thingy and fell on the floor. Of course, because it's just my luck, the laptop broke. Everything is coming on but the screen is really dark and you can barely see anything. This, of course, made my hubby really upset/depressed since he uses his laptop for a lot of stuff including gaming which its built for. We're hoping that its an easy fix but we won't know until he gets home tonight. Now on to good news. I met a wonderful new friend today on Facebook who shared a bunch of very valuable information with me. Things are going to really start rocking around here very soon. Please hang on and bare with me......I promise you won't be sorry ;)

A Hard Day

Things have taken a turn for the worse. I am in a very depressed and stressed mood today because of everything. To put it all simply we have taken a huge hit to our income. Now we have to come up with ways to manage our rent and bills for the next 3 months so that we can wait for an opening at a cheaper place. I know that God always has a plan but right now its really hard for me to believe that everything is going to be okay. I wish things would be easier for me to accept and just relax on. I know that this is a depressing post so I will be stopping here before I make my readers depressed along with me.

My Life....As Of Now

I need to be completely honest. I have not been the best mom and wife that I could be as of lately. For those that don't know I have been suffering from depression for many years. I finally got on a new medication that seemed to make everything a little bit better and easier for me to get up and get going. I'm not sure if my depression has gotten worse or if the medication isn't as effective anymore. All I do know is is that I'm having a lot of trouble getting myself up and motivated to do really anything. I want to go to bed early and sleep in late. Throughout the day all I can seem to focus on, for the most part, is how much I really want to get back in my bed. This is not good when you're a mom and wife. Actually its not good for anyone. My life is starting to pass me by and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot I can do to stop it. I need to get out of this slump. I don't want to wake up one day and find that everything I've loved and wanted to do has passed me by. There has to be hope at the end of this long dark tunnel. If you're reading this and have any good advice to help me out it would be very much appreciated.

Life As I Know It

Things can be a little bit chaotic around my house. After all we not only have my kids, hubby and self living here right now but we also have my close friend, her hubby and 5 kids here as well. You would think that things would be totally out of control with so many people within a confined space but it actually works better than I thought it would. My friend is a goddess when it comes to taking care of the laundry. Her hubby is a one man cleaning machine, he even cleaned and rearranged my living room the other day(thanks Mike). As I type he is in the kids room cleaning and redoing it as well. I take the most control when its dinner time. I have to cook enough food for a small army and also remember that we have some allergies and also a few very picky eaters. All in all things seem to work out fine at the end of the day. People have told us that we're crazy for having such a large family to live with us but it just all seems to fit right into place and work in a way you would never think it would. Well since everyone else has done at least a little bit of something today I think I should really get up and at least take care of the dishes( this is the one thing that no one in the house really likes to do). Until we meet again....
