Sadness Mood
Saturday, June 28, 2008 | A Sad story

I have been have some severe ups and downs lately. I have pretty much pinpointed it down to about every 5 weeks....I can be happy and feeling good, then...Whamo!..I get depressed, sad, fatigued...and angry.

Before you go blaming it on Aunt Flo..it has nothing to with that..I get angry with her all on my own....

I go through these spurts of depression and fatigue..which can usually last for about 2 weeks..then..just like someone has flipped a switch..I'm better again..WTF?

I've found myself crying alot lately..Ive been feeling very overwhelmed with things around here. Everything is changing. I dont like it.

Emily will be turning 18 soon..in 63 days as a matter of fact (she keeps rubbing it in..haha) She's getting her senior pictures taken in a few weeks and she's already talking about "when I graduate"..and "getting an apartment"..stuff like that.What a reality check. Just yesterday she was playing with Barbies...

Kyle is growing and changing too. He's such a little perv, which comes along with turning 12. He's such a nice young man though..growing up and taking interest in things I didnt imagine he would be interested in yet. Just yesterday he was playing with Leggos...

Rebecca is growing up WAY TOO FAST!! She just shaved her legs for the first time yesterday. She's constantly outside playing with the kids around here and being chased by the boys. Grrrrr... Just yesterday she was coloring in her coloring books...Oh wait. That was yesterday....

Jack is 99.9% potty trained. He is sleeping with his underwear in his big boy bed and even gets up at night to tinkle. He no longer wants to sit in his high chair at dinner..and everything he does is bigger and more advanced than I expect for his age. Its too fast. Just yesterday..I was pregnant....

Anyway...all of these changes are coming too fast and furious. I cant keep up and when I try..it gets depressing. My babies arent going to be babies much longer.  It makes me cry.

 

I'm sad.

    Sorry you're sad Angie BUT...your kids are going to be your "bestest" friends as they get older. Enjoy them - from my perspective you are lucky. Love and hugs sweetie...

    ANGIE, THATS WHY WE HAVE KIDS SO THEY CAN GROW UP AND BECOME THEIR OWN PERSON, I KNOW ITS SAD, BUT I THINK BEING TIRED WITH MS AND HAVING BRAIN FARTS IS WHATS MAKING YOU DEPRESSED, WE HAVE ALL BEEN THRU IT, IT HELPS TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH US AND TALK ABOUT THINGS.
    YOU KNOW ANOTHER THING IS, YOUR YOUNGEST WILL GET TO CHOOSE YOUR NURSING HOME, SO BE EXTRA NICE TO EM.
    YOU GOT YOUR HANDS FULL, LET OTHERS HELP OUT.
    YOU NEED ANGIE TIME TOO!!!

    Boom Boom, I don't have kids so I'm not sure what to say...but I think I get it a little. I raised my sister Kelly, she's 12 years younger, and I sometimes just look at her and feel a mix of pride and melancholy now. I cannot believe that she has an important job, lives with her fiancee, and tries to take care of ME!

    I love you Boomy. xoxo Brick
