Editing really makes a difference. Hard to believe it's the same photo! So thankful to have stumbled upon PicMonkey.com since Picnic is no longer available.

This is my sweet girl on Mother's Day. Hubby and Makenzie woke me up with breakfast in bed (which I ate in the dining room). She gave me this precious card that she had written all by herself! My husband wrote on her chalkboard and she wrote it on the card. I was so impressed! Eric and Makenzie went to church while Parker and I stayed home since he was still suffering with a yucky virus. We spent time outside on a blanket in the grass and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

I gave myself a pedicure with the best fingernail polish I've ever used. I NEVER go to the salon to get my nails done. I love the look, but not the process or the price. So here's my "at home" pedi for $6(Walmart)! btw, my nails are not navy blue like the picture they're "FRUITY PETTUTIE!" Even my hubby said he liked it!

After a lovely dinner of grilled chicken sandwiches my husband and I watched "The Vow." It was a great way to finish a great day.

Just another day

Every week I drown in dirty dishes, unfinished laundry, and a VERY long "to-do" list. Every week is the same. I say that I'm not going to let it happen again, but by Wednesday I'm back where I said I was never going again. Just when I think I could wean myself off of the antidepressant medicine I take everyday I start exhibiting depressive behavior...AGAIN. I must say the worst thing about the medicine I take is that I can't cry. Physically I can not cry. Emotionally I want to, but the tears won't come. I used to be able to cry on command. Not any more. I actually miss crying. It can be such a good release. My mom and my husband both like me on "happy pills," but I'm feeling less and less like myself. However, if it will keep the anger at bay then I'll stay on it as long as I need to. My anger was uncontrollable and that is a very scary thing for myself and my children.
