Critterfixer Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 The storm dumped a bunch of rain on us (creek is roaring) and we got small hail, but no damage.

sweetpea3829 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 :seeya: I looked at my calendar today after church and it's super crazy for the next eight weeks. Does anyone feel like all events are scheduled for spring and fall in an attempt to avoid bad weather? In any event, in sketching out the next two weeks of my life, it looks like my ITT time is going to be short. :thumbdown: I wanted to give a heads up while I'm thinking about it so that no one sends out a search party with the elephant ninjas & bazookas. YES! People ask us, "Oh hey...you want to get together?" I'm like...in April? May? June? Nope...sorry! Put a pin in that idea and come see me in July. Between Little League, karate, yard responsibilities...et al. This year shouldn't be too bad though. I managed to get all four of my kids on the same baseball team! We're half the team, LOL! It's DDs first year playing and she should technically be in the next division but her skill level is well behind the other kids in that league. And our softball league only has two teams--->much traveling. So I requested she be with her brothers. But we had one year...man...I had two boys on one team, another boy on a different team. They had art lessons, AWANA club, piano, the youngest boy had speech therapy. And hubby was still working over an hour from home which meant guess who got to run all over the county? That's right...lol. I can remember a few nights...I'd have to run one boy to the baseball field for a game...run DD to the church ten minutes away to drop her off for AWANA...run BACK to the Little League fields and drop off the other two boys at their game on a different field...run back and forth between the fields (because heaven forbid Mom misses a kid being at bat), pick up eldest DS after his game, run him up to the church, run back to the fields, pick up the two little boys, run them back to the church. It was insanity. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got all my plans done, copies made, etc. Then, full on gully-wash just as I needed to leave. I was soaked. :/ This town has some of the worst drainage as well. Almost every intersection between school and home is high water. What are chuck-will's-widows? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetpea3829 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Well...today was opening day for "spring training", lol. They started their baseball clinic at 12, which meant we had to quietly leave church about fifteen minutes early. I hate doing that and normally would not skip out on church for sports....but the kids needed to meet their coach. While we were there, hubby and I were sitting next to this guy...we randomly struck up a conversation with him and lo and behold...he and his wife are homeschooling their five kids! I was shocked to find another homeschool family in our County that I didn't already know about...lol. His son is the same age as my eldest, which is great...because my eldest boy has been looking for a guy chum to hang out with that's his age. Apparently, his brothers (only a year and then two years younger) do not qualify as guy chums. This was otherwise not as productive a weekend as I would have liked. My garden plans still need finalizing...I need to make a list of all the plants/seeds we need to buy and then put everything on a calendar...because otherwise, nothing will get done and we'll have a garden like last year's. Plus my science curriculum needs a lot of work still. There are just literally not enough hours in my day. I foresee another overnight this week. At least one. Oh and hubs is in full blown man flu mode. He's all, "I don't think I can work tomorrow..." and I'm all, "Dude...you have a cold...suck it up buttercup and go to work!" I can't have him home during a school day! Absolutely nothing will get done! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I've been depressed or something. I don't want to say depressed but I don't know what to call it. Maybe overly irritable combined with exhausted. I miss my super mom pills. :( And working out. And wine. My neighbor said when his wife gets like that he buys her paint and she paints everyday. It gives her a mental break from the monotonous. I haven't been able to stop thinking about that and when I saw the prismacolor thread I remembered that I've been wanting an adult coloring book so I think I'll get one along with some nice pencils. Every time I think about it I feel stupid because a good coloring book is around $15 and pencils are like $20 or $30 so I'm talking about spending $35-$45 on a coloring book! But I'm over it. I want my stupid coloring book. So there. I've started doubling recipes to freeze half for postpartum craziness. Anybody have a good one to share? Tomorrow is chicken tortilla soup.

I hate sweating, and getting dirt under my nails, and having the sun beating down on my head. :mad: But it was better in California, where you can stick a wooden spoon in the dirt and it will grow. Here in Central Texas, it is not like that. I have killed eight or nine rose bushes, hydrangeas, dusty miller, geraniums, lily of the valley, coleus, and more. It just isn't very satisfying. I try to do things that will be perennial and call it good. Not much joy so far after 12 years. :crying: We had a big pine tree at the corner of our house when we moved in, and it was lovely. Pines are not native to this area, which made it even more special. Alas, it became diseased, and we had to take it down. :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I am pretending to be a dutiful homeschool mom and am providing writing prompts, from that great free ebook I found, for the days dd16 experiences writer's block. I provided two from each category, and as she uses one (if) she'll cross it off the list and I'll add another. I have it in a shared google drive file. I also copied and pasted the explanations for persuasive, expository, narrative, and literary response writing. Later, I'll introduce the rubrics. I was reading the Robinson thread, and decided to go back to her daily Spanish writing. They will be short pieces, I'll suggest corrections, she'll correct the next day and write another short piece.

I thought it was really bad but after talking to others I don't think it was nearly as bad as it could have been. I didn't hear voices or want to hurt my kids, but I was extremely frustrated all the time and was sort of manic. "I'm the best mother ever, I'm so happy to be living this life... Why is everything so hard? Why are my kids so unhappy? I can't do this." I gained around 30 pounds in that time period and I was not a good mom. I'm not fishing for a complement here, I really truly failed. My chronic exhaustion was at it's peak too. That was right before I discovered my supermom pills.

You are describing postpartum psychosis, and that is a very severe (and relatively rare) form of ppd. That you did not hear voices doesn't mean it wasn't bad. Just keep in touch with a doc about it. Or at least tell us, and we can be a barometer for when you cross over a line cuz it is hard to see it when you are in it. I never enjoyed being pregnant really. I guess there were some okay parts in the middle trimester during the first three pgs, but the beginnings and ends were all bad. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Matt didn't understand that something was actually wrong for months. He was really angry with me for not doing my part, but he understands now. Even if I do get it again between knowing my food allergies, having more energy and a supportive husband things will be completely different. Not to mention that my kids are 3 and 5 and extremely helpful. Sorry you're going through this. I don't think that I ever had any symptoms of post-partum depression. It's all kind of a blur, now. I'm glad that your dh understands and is helpful. :grouphug: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
