Had a good weekend...

I am on the 100 mg dose now of the Zoloft. I am sleeping ok I guess. I think the weekend was fun even though it was gross and rainy. My little dog is making me feel good. I have trained her to do some tricks--at 4 /12 months old I think she is completely brilliant!

I am trying that flylady thing and look forward to starting Monday off hopefuly keeping my head above water.I hope all is well with you all. I have to enjoy the good times because lately there are SO many bad times. I haven't been unhappy like I have lately in about 10 years. It kind of scares me sometimes because 10 years ago it only affected me...now I have 5 kids. I had a friend who told me that mayb e I needed to go back to work and get some affirmation from that kind of work since motherhood is a "thankless job" and isolating at times. The thing is that I couldn't keep a job to save my life and never have. I have nightmares about going back. I can't handle keeping my house up much less a job. I actually dread going back one day. Nothing quite like more failure to reinstate my foundations of depression!

Until then I am going to enjoy this day and the good things in it. HOpefully I can stockpile my happiness for a rainy day in the near future!

Thanks for sharing your good weekend. I was thinking of you and wondering how you were doing. Good for you for trying something to gain control of your situation. You really are the one who knows best what your needs are and what will help you and what won't. If a suggestion just makes you feel overwhelmed, then it probably is not the right idea for you at this time. I hope you do enjoy this day and have many other chances to stockpile more happiness.

hey can I ask you a silly question? How do you get that picture to show under your name? I found where you input a picture but can't figure out how. I sure like yours.

I'm happy that you like my picture. What you have to have is a picture that is the right size to fit in the space, and it needs to be on the internet. It really should be on your own webspace, or someone's who has given you permission. Chances are, some webspace is granted to you by your internet service provider. I can help you with sizing and cropping a picture and getting it uploaded if you like. Then you put the URL for the picture in the appropriate space under your profile, and it's done.
