Deeper thoughts

Sometimes, things happen, and I want to blog about them but then I talk myself out of it because I don't want it to create issues but then I think to myself, who cares? It's my blog right? I seriously go back and forth with these thoughts all the time. I would like to blog about some of the said issues because it would give me a place to vent and also give me some support from some of my fellow blog readers. BUT at the same time, some of my fellow blog readers might not like what I have to say. ANYWAY................


Not much has been happening here lately. Just enjoying some of the sunny days we've had. Oh and all of our trees and bushes are starting to bloom and everything is PINK!!!!!!! It makes me happy :)

This weekend is going to be busy but fun. We have a birthday party for BJ's daughter, a little family get together after that and on Sunday,  Rob's birthday, Rob is baptizing one of the little girls I used to nanny. We are both so excited for this event. Rob said that will be the best present. It's also special that they share the same birthday :) We love their family so much and are so honored to be able to be apart of such a special day.

We're also excited for this summer and some of the plans we have. We'll be going to DISNEYWORLD the end of May. We'll be there for our anniversary and I couldn't think of a better way to spend it! The trip is for Rob's little sisters graduation trip. It's just an added bonus that it falls on our anni. We're also going to Lake Roosevelt for 4th of July with some of Rob's cousins and some of our good friends in Phoenix are also planning on coming and spending some time with us this summer too! (It kills me that friends are going to come see us and family isn't and doesn't plan too) It's going to be a fun summer!

Well I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and a great weekend as well! Thanks for reading my random, scattered posts. Oh and did you like my little passive aggressive insert? If it confused you, reread the first paragraph ;)

Happiness is

Today was a happy day
Woke up to the sound of my child talking and playing in his crib
My husband lay asleep next to me
The sun was shining in my bedroom window and birds were chirping
After our morning routine we ran errands
Picked up a take and bake pizza
Came home and Carson napped
Rob and I enjoyed lunch outside
Just the 2 of us
We sat looking at our backyard
And talked about all the things we want to do with it
Take out that bush over there
Put a kiddie pool right there
Build a swing set there
It was like a mini date
It was heaven
After lunch I sat in the sun and read
Rob dug stuff up
I came inside with tan lines
THAT made me REALLY happy
Car woke up and we took him outside
He chased kitty
Played with the hose
Rubbed his hands in some dirt
And followed his daddy around
Again, it was heaven


Now, Rob is at work
Carson is fed and bathed
Soon he'll go to bed
And I'll clean up a little
Then take a bath
And paint my nails

I love my family. I love my life. God is good and we are truly  blessed.

Happiness

Remember this post? I was so afraid to get off my happy pills. Well, right around Christmas time I started lowering my dose. (It had been about a year that I had been on them) Within a few weeks I was completely off of them and let me tell you, I feel great! I did have a few outburst in the first few days but that didn't last long. I actually think that the pills numbed me a little. For example, I watch shows like 'A Baby Story' and 'One Born Every Minute' all the time. Before I loved when the babies were born but now when I watch those shows I cry happy tears when the babies are born. It is just such a sweet moment and I can't help but cry. I think the pills sort of blocked out any kind of extreme emotion be it happy or sad. I'm so much more of a sap these days but that is totally fine with me. I feel so blessed that it was an easy transition and I really do feel great. I'm sure I will have my moments when I feel the depression creeping back in but for now, I am happy and life is good.
