Okay, I know I haven't been posting much lately. I thought I would give a Very brief explanation without going into great detail of what been going on. I am doing this mainly just to let everyone know that I am still alive, not to be a whiner.
About 2 weeks ago, I started feeling incredibly overwhelmed by life in general. It got to the point that I had to go to doctor to see about having my medicine adjusted (I have been on anti-depressants since Lily was born). For those who don't know Depression is an actual Chemical imbalance in your brain. It's not just whine. Anyway, I have had an immense amount of help from my family and friends. I don't know how I would be getting through this without them. At a few different friends suggestions, I have been taking the kids to Mothers Day Out on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-2:30. That has helped me out alot. Just having 5 hours to myself 2 days a week has been nice. The doc switched my medicine, and even though I don't really feel like I'm myself, I am starting to feel a bit better. I am excited for the day that I wake up and feel really happy again. And at least now I kinda feel like that might happen for me sometime in the future.
I want to say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to my parents, in-laws, and Cindy for all the help over the last couple of weeks, and the help in the future. I am forever grateful, and can't put in words what your love has done for me. I also want to say thank you to all my friends out there that have sent encouraging e-mails and cards. It helps so much to know that I have so many people that love me and care about my well-being. I love you all so much!!! Thank you!!!

Heather,
It hurts my heart that you have been down lately. It is 2 full time jobs being an at home Mommy & wife. Add all the cleaning & shopping & cooking & LAUNDRY & it is easy to get overwhelmed, plus all your home improvement projects. Not to mention the non-stop energy & chipper, happy attitudes we are suppose to have ALL the time to "prove" (mostly to ourselves) that we are good moms. What the heck is all that about? I have decided that having a clean house all the time & being chipper all the time is just not natural. It's no wonder we need more vacation days than we get. I'm sure having a chemical imbalance just makes things even harder. I'm sorry about that. You will get all lined out & feel better & be back to your old self soon. In the meantime, you are still such a BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL person Heather, especially mother. Your children are so so blessed to have you as their mother. I am blessed to have you as my best friend and for so many years. I am sorry I have not called more. Please feel free to call me anytime day or night. I'm serious! Can we get together next Tuesday? I will see if Mom can watch the boys. Spencer has an appt. this Tuesday & that is the only day Mom doesn't work through the week. We would not know what to do with ourselves with no kids around, we would probably take a nap. Just kidding. Anyway, let me know, any day is actually fine with me. I love you! Heavenly Father loves you & knows your heart. I have to believe that with great challenges come great blessings in time. Love ya!
