I don’t want to complain.
Just know there’s things I want to complain about, but I won’t.
I will tell you that Cody GOT! A! JOB! for the summer. And I think that means I can now tell you that I secretly hid and complained about this whole process last fall. I will also tell you that he made it onto the Executive Board for Law Review. He explained his duties to me but all I heard was “I’m going to be very busy next year blah blah.”
I have wonderful friends both in the computer and down the street. The medication I’ve started taking seems to be doing it’s job (this is a first for me). I’m not out of the dark yet, but I’m definitely moving forward.
It may even be sunny today for the first time in weeks.
BRING ON THE VITAMIN D.
The last time I did this it really lifted my wintry spirits.
I want to hear the best thing that happened to you over the last week. Anything at all. Brag it up. Even if it was only a perfect piece of toast, I want to know about it.
Thanks.

Congratulations to Cody on Law Review!!! That’s HUGE!!! Glad your meds are working — I understand the darkness & despair that comes around. Know you most definitely are not alone.
Now, the best thing that happened? Actually two: 1- we had both a snow day AND a two hour delay which almost never happens and 2- my sister-in-law finally said she isn’t going to the beach with us next weekend!!! [not as mean as it sounds----she has major issues & is mean to my daughter], Hope you have a great day and the sun shines down on you in bucketfuls!!

Yeah for both of you! Brandon told me about the law review – congrats to Cody and the job too, that’s great. If you are like me if the husband is successful, it makes the wife less stressed.
I’m happy to hear spirits are up. You know we all are praying for you (well maybe except those who are not religious).
This week my husband has been studying in the same room with me at night and it has cheered me up immensely.

I’m glad you’re on the way to feeling better…this weekend I can tell you the best thing that happened was that both days when the kids napped…SO DID I!!! I had an hour and half nap on Saturday, and a 2 and a half hour nap on Sunday, both days snuggled with my kids. Sad that it was the highlight of my weekend, but there you have it!

As you know Winter in Indy is “interesting” to say the least.. they forcast a LOT of snow & start shutting down & nothing really comes of it. But last weekend with the Sun shining & a little bit of snow our family got outside & made SNOWMEN.. it was great!.. I now have grass exposed everywhere but 2 happy girls with 2 happy snowmen. Can’t wait for more SUN! It’s coming!!!

Congrats to Cody – as others have mentioned it really is something to be proud of!
As far as good things this week…it was warm enough to actually go to the beach. It was heaven to sit out in the warmth of the sun, with good friends and let the kids play in the sand. Definately a good day!
I hope the sun finds you today and you can bask in the warmth as well!

so glad you’re starting to feel better….I’ve actually started to take some vitamin B in hopes in brings my mood up to a tolerable level.
Best thing thus far? A friend bought me lunch on Monday…at a nice restaurant without my children in tow. Oh, and i bought my favorite snack at the deli and ate it last night on crackers while I watched American Idol….that was pretty fab.

Congrats!! I know how you hate to be alone but it will all payoff someday. I keep telling myself that (January to April for how many years?). The best thing that happened to me in the last week was ( and don’t think I am nuts), I taught photography at the Boy Scout Merit Badge Pow-wow. I know you wonder why me with no qualifications. I think the only qualification I had was saying “Yes”. I know “Stupid” stenciled on my forehead but its been there for years. It was probably hard to find people who would teach. As you know I do have lots of examples of what not to do but I also had some great shots from you and your mom I could use as great examples. I even had a few great examples of my own. I taught three classes of 16 boys each. I really think they enjoyed the class because there was no goofing around and talking instead of listening (But maybe my reputation proceeded me as well). They all said they would come back for the next two weekends to finish up. Got to go. Kiss my grandbaby for me. Love ya, Mom in Vernal

But my lovely computer guy just “happened” to have an identical laptop with all the internal parts just a dead screen. So he swapped out the motherboard and everything is exactly like before, and even better because he fixed a few glitches that were slowing the system down. Hooray!

Best thing that happened over the last week, and also my greatest accomplishment in a long time, was that I didn’t eat any form of take out for 2 weeks! Ok, actually it will be two weeks on Saturday, but close enough! I cooked dinner! Every night! Including Friday and Saturday night! This is huge for me, I hate cooking and I am not so great at it. And as an added bonus, I have lost 5 pounds so far! Go me!

My oldest son lost his first tooth, it was very, very exciting around here last night when he just walked into the bathroom and yanked it out. With blood dripping down his chin he gave me the best cheesy, toothless grin. We have come a long way from the moment I saw that same tooth popping through the gums when he was only 6 months old. I was so proud of how brave he was when he saw the blood.

Best thing in my prev. week tied to worst thing: worst = bad hand injury, temporarily lost use of couple fingers (basically only have one working hand for time being, cannot handwrite or type well – IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FINAL TERM OF MY 1st YR IN UNIVERSITY!!). Best thing = law student husband LESS busy than me right now (don’t hate me – at least u have 2 working hands!) and he is cooking, cleaning, and hooking and unhooking my bra for me daily.

Casey, I have felt right with you throughout your latest issues. I’m so glad you’re feeling – at least a little – better.
My week has kind of sucked – a lot, so reading these comments has cheered me up a little, too. Best thing that has happened to me all week? Although I just miscarried, I found my 2 year old is even cooler and more compassionate than I orginally thought (I already knew she was amazing). She caught me crying one evening, came up to me with a big hug, some pats on the back, and asked, “Mommy, what is wrong? hmmm???” We spent the night cuddling, reading, and eating Ben and Jerry’s! There’s nothing like Green Eggs and Ham with a little “Half-Baked” and a cute snuggler to make you feel better.

YAY! I’m so excited about Cody’s new job. That is just awesome news. And hooray for happy drugs – you know, of the legal sort. I’m so glad you’re feeling better.
As for me, hmm. I got to hang out with some friends this week. Yippee for adult conversation! And as usual, the children are forever cracking me up with their antics. Even when they’re driving me crazy, they still make me laugh.
Oh, and let’s not forget how grateful I am for you linking to me – thanks for sending a crapload of traffic my way, girl.

Yea for meds! My meds are working too. That’s my fab news for the week. It’s not much but it certainly feels like victory for me.

Congrats on the job! Hey, more time alone with you and the wii. (Can you tell that I am jealous…)
I had a fabulous thing happen this week… I finished our taxes and we are finally getting a return. (clapping and cheering) We spent almost $15,000 last year in fertility treatments so it seems only appropriate that we get $1500 back on our taxes. That is the first return we’ve gotten in years.
No pregnancy yet but I am hopeful for 2008. XO

yea for the new job! this week 2 good things happened- I got a new job! at a fancy schmancy office where i have to wear a “blazer” (which means hours of self-esteem crushing shopping. blah) no more stay at home mom, which is sort of sad. but another good thing is i went to my doctor and got depression meds. even though it probably hasn’t started working yet i already feel better to have the terrible weight lifted off my shoulder. and allot of that had to do with reading your archives. hearing someone talk so open about how they felt and getting help really inspired me to admit something was wrong. hopefully that will cheer you up!

Jobs are super! I know when my husband was doing his internships it was wonderful to have the money! Yeah paycheck! Now that he’s started his first year at a law firm, I think I’d take a less stressed out husband and give up SOME of the money. The stress from school just changes once they start work. But I’m not complaining either.

Congrats to Cody on the Law Review. I know nothing about lawyers and lawyerly stuff, but I’m guessing it’s A Very Big Deal.
Best thing last week: I got a new (to me) car that I am doing my best to convince myself is not a minivan. And That Canadian Boy I Married started a new, better paying job.

Okay, this is going to sound silly, but the best thing that happened to me recently is that my daughter slept in the same bed as me. I know, right? But this is the child who never, and I mean from BIRTH never could fall asleep unless she was by herself. I had never, ever co-slept with this child until last weekend at my SIL’s wedding, when she sobbed at the sight of the Pack N Play in the hotel room and begged to sleep with me in the big bed. And she DID! I fell asleep with my hand cupping her sweet curly head, listening to her breathe, and it was wonderful.
Congrats to your hubby on the job and on making Law Review!

Took my family to the Easter Pagaent last night (we live in Mesa, AZ) and had a first glimps of my recently turned 12yo. Geeky Deacon? perhaps but to me it was sooo cool to watch him interact with other teenagers like he had been hanging out with him all his life. (He used to just hang with the parents-us- now he is one of the cool kids) woohoo Ben!
