A Day in My Life

Well, I have to admit, this is my first attempt at blogging and it's already making me crazier than I already am. I thought it would be nice to share the wild and wooly times that I endure and enjoy every day. I also thought it would be a good way to let other people see how a mom with severe depression and anxiety deals with day to day life and raising a strong willed child and being a good mom and wife.

So here I am, today is one of the days I somehow wish would just go on by. Wake up, not feeling so good, my depression as always is not under control but I endure it and keep pushing ahead. I find myself looking for ways to help myself keep things in a positive light. My newest determination is to stop myself everytime I have a negative thought and replace it. It's not easy but it's working for me.

I got up this morning and snuggled with my adorable 6 year old daughter. She's the light of my life and I want to be the best mom possible for her. We snuggle and eat toast and bananas and watch the baby shows on TLC. It's a wonderful start to what I thought might not be so good when I woke feeling sort of wrung out.

My positive thought to start my day is that no matter what, I am surrounded by love. My husband, my two children even though my oldest doesn't live here with me at the moment, and my sweet puppy, Packer.

I am plotting lots of things for my future, learning to use a Kiln, make fused glass. I'll have to let you know how that goes.
