What's been going on in my neck of the woods? Well, my cold-turkey method of getting off the happy pills has its good days... and some very bad days. It has come to the point where my Hero quietly tells me, "I don't want you to have another Wednesday." or "What can I do to help you not have a Wednesday?" Wednesday being the code word for a freak-out day. Ya. Not too long ago, on a WEDNESDAY, I had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. It was like my body was possessed by a ranting, crazy woman. I nitpicked on everything my kids & hubby did. I yelled. A lot. I cried. A lot. For Hero to now use that as a code word, hmm... Oy. Did I mention that I have absolutely zero patience these days as well? With anybody including myself? Not good. I'm trying, trying oh so hard to zip my lip but it's so hard! I think the current stresses (husband's job ending soon, looking for new place to live, PTA stuff, illnesses) are making things challenging. Sigh. But onwards & upwards, right?

Our 5K is on May 21st. I feel like I've slid back on my progress due to being sick. I did take the two older kids out for a 2-mile walk. We skipped, hopped, galloped, and ran the entire thing. I'm still a little confused as to why Boo told me I was funny when I jetted off and made them catch up to me. Perhaps it wasn't funny-haha, but more, funny-I'm just a silly mama. Either way, I enjoyed the time with them. We talked about golf (we did the golf course trail), pointed out different plants/trees/flowers, the "why does..." that only kids can come up with. Lovely way to start a Saturday morning.

Had to have a conversation with the same two kids later about why those things in the box/in the drawer/in the bathroom are NOT party-favors. Yes, they're brightly colored party-popper look-a-likes (kinda). NO, they are NOT indeed party-poppers. (FYI - as if you really need to know, I would've NEVER bought these as they're obviously geared to teeny-boppers but desperate times called for desperate measures. I have since then stocked up on my normal stuff. Which incidentally is not those party-popper things. I hate those! Huh. Never thought I'd share (albeit vaguely) what I use. But what I use isn't what you think either. Wha-huh?)

I'm having major issues with my short-term memory. I am losing everything these days! I remember seeing an object in a certain place but for the life of me, it's never where I think I saw it. This is an unending battle and it's driving me loco!!! Especially when I do finally find the object, and remember like two hours later, "Oh yeah - I DID move it over to this place." UGH! Things I'm currently missing: crochet hook, book, uh... other things too. But I can't remember. Like I said, major issues. Part of it is sleep-deprivation due to baby who can't sleep/nurse because he's so congested. Poor baby! Poor mama!

Finally - when you guys comment, do you want me to comment back? I think of things to say but then think to myself, "Who goes back to the comments to see if the author commented?" I dunno. Tell me.
