Yes, that’s a big step for me.  I really can’t tell you when I last cleaned it. 

I went to the doctor yesterday morning, and he put me on Celexa.  Yes, I’m feeling blue.  This and other things are making things at home rough.   We all are taking it a day at a time.  I may or may not speak of this later, but wanted to let you know.  I think this is why I haven’t felt like blogging much.

Say some good thoughts for us.

 

Great Show November 10, 2008

If you already have seen TRUE BLOOD, you know what I’m talking about.  If not, check it out on HBO.  The new shows are on Sunday night, but you can catch re-runs all through the week.  And last week, they played the older episodes too.

Check out:  http://www.hbo.com/trueblood/  or HERE

The show is based on Charlaine Harris’s .  Sookie Stackhouse series.  Someone suggested these books after I read the Twilight books (if you don’t know what these are either, you need to get out more).  I’m not a vampire-genre fan, but both series are great.  The Sookie books are more geared toward adults, and the show even more so.  I’m only on book 4 of 8, but am loving it.  The show and the books are just different enough to keep me on edge.

Ok, I’ve caught up a bit November 7, 2008

I’ve been feeling blue lately, and hopefully next week I can get a magical little pill that will help me.  I’m thinking about seeing a therapist, just to talk things outloud to someone who doesn’t know me and has a view from the outside.  I think many things I have going on in my head is not only effecting (affecting?) me, but our marriage and of course the kids.

The paperwork is in progress for Brennen to be evaluated for the needs of ADD type meds.  We’ll see what happens there.  He is getting A’s and B’s on his spelling tests, and has pretty much gotten the 3 minute math tests (addition to 10s) down.  His comprehension during verbal stories is not good though.  He can’t concentrate  and focus enough to get the details.

Zachary is good.  He loves school, and has a best friend.  He knows all his colors, counts to 10, sings his ABCs without any problems (except for that LMNOP part, lol).

Timmy is a turd.  Plain and simple.  He gets so spoiled during the day with me it’s crazy!  And OMG, he has a very bad stinky feet problem!

Things I need to tell you:

Book reviews

Trees

Halloween

The Trip

and of course, The stupid purple corolla and the fuzzy haired driver.

 

Elections November 7, 2008

I know, I’m way behind.  I’m pleased with the Presidential elections this year.  I really don’t get into all the detailed policies and ‘he said, she said’ stuff.  I do think either Man would have done a great job.  There are things with both candidates that I did not care for.  I really did not care for Sarah Palin, I think she needs some more experiece before she steps back into the national political scene.  I think and hope that Obama can surround himself with good advisors, who all have good intentions for turning this country around.

Locally, state lottery was passed, with the money going to scholarships.  Arkansas has the lowest number of Bachelor degree holding people.  I think they should’ve expanded the measure to supply money to the public school system for buildings, supplies (computers, books, etc), and teacher salaries.  Oh, and road repairs! LOL!

 

Work November 7, 2008

Work is going good.  I still love it, and feeling better and more sure about my skills and assessments.  I am changing my schedule from my current Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday rotation to a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday rotation.  This is going to be really good because:

1.  Currently, by the time Saturday comes around, I’m wiped out.  But I still have 3 boys to deal with on Saturday.  Now, just the first week, I’ll be wiped out on Thursday, but only have the Baby to contend with.

2.  Michael’s Mom is moving out of state next week.  READ:  our sitter is leaving.  The girls we do have sit for us are cheerleaders, and there are less games on the nights of this new schedule than the current one.

3.  Since Molly is moving out of town, I now have every other weekend free to bring the boys down to see her (or do whatever)

Yeah Me.

I’m not feeling up to par.  I’ve got things going on in my life right now.  I’m going to the dr tomorrow and am going to ask for some lexapro (or someting stronger!).

I hope y’all miss reading my blog, I do miss doing it, but just am not up to it right now.
