You know what? Life sucks sometimes. And then one little thing will happen and you'll realize that it ain't all bad. Look for the one little thing and then focus on it.

You are awesome and things WILL get better.

Down baby down! I'm talking to the scale of course.

As for #2, yeah, I feel you on that one. My life is consumed with children and house shit and sometimes I find myself wondering- what about me? who am I? is there more to life? That's some heavy shit.

I love you. *hugs*

Wahhh WAaaahhhhhh (a little Debbie Downer music for you there).
I'm with you on the getting by thing. I feel like a zombie. But, the exercise seems to help me. Get out and get some fresh air, hooker. Before it starts freezing up in your neck of the woods!
And yay for happy scale!

no you're not. life is about the highs and lows, baby. woohoo for the scale victory! i'm seeing a great week in your future! (did you know i was a psychic on the side? ok no i'm not. but still.)

I can really empathize with you on point #2. My life is all about the kids and my husband, and I wonder who I am any more. Love them dearly, of course, but miss feeling like "me", whatever that used to be.

hugs to you!

YAY for the excitement on the scales!! Monday is never a good day for me either, and today was no exception.

I'm down in the dumps lately, too, because I feel like no matter how hard I try, I just can't get this shit right. ARGH. I'm off to confess now....

you're just keeping it real. nothing wrong with that.

what makes you happy? maybe you should think about what truly makes you happy (none of that generic "my husband and kids" crap. but something you would do just you. and if you have to modify it to work it into your husband and kids schedule then so be it.

reading makes me happy, but i never find time to read. so i've made a read 52 books in 2009. and because i've laid down the gauntlet for myself, i'm finding time to read those books.

of course i don't have kids so maybe that's not helpful at all.

*hugs*
