I'm a big kid now... (you sang it didn't you?) haha

I had my medication follow up with my doctor yesterday. And... wait for it.... I got my Tetanus booster shot! Now that may not seem like a big deal.. but as a kid I cried my eyes out any time I had to get a shot and it seemed that every time we had to move I was the one that had to get shots. Anyway, it had been 17 years since my last one! I'm a little sore today but not too bad. I didn't even feel her give me the shot! I should take my kids to her when they need their shots! I even called my mom to tell her I got a shot. haha

 I also am in the process of adjusting my medication. I'm going to be doing a stronger, longer lasting pill of the one that I was already taking in the mornings and slowly phasing out the medication I take at night. I'm praying that it is a smooth transition and doesn't cause me too much grief.

 I've also got a new birth control to try. Hopefully this will help all the issues and pain I have all month long.

 When I was a kid I was not very nice. I was always angry and mean (at least to my siblings). And a lot of how I felt and acted is when I see in my older son. So on Tuesday I am going to be meeting with a therapist to see about getting him in to start counseling and hopefully help him before it's too late. I don't want him to go through what I did growing up and waiting until his 30s before he gets the help he needs. 
Also, when I was a kid I was very clumsy. I constantly was stubbing my toes and hurting them. And... that hasn't changed. LOL You would think that as I got older I would get more coordinated, but I have not. There's a reason I keep my toenails painted and it's not just because I like the colors. haha It IS because my toenails are always discolored and grow in rippled because I hit them on stuff so much. Last week I dropped the ottoman on my toe and tore it up. I've stubbed them multiple times since then and hit the same toe, but on the other foot, on the tire this morning.
My husband says it's Karma because I don't like other peoples feet. LOL

 I hope you are all doing well!
And remember.. don't wait too long to get help for yourself. Your mental health matters!

I won yesterday.

Yesterday morning I planned to clean the house and get stuff organized because I had people coming over yesterday evening. As soon as I started to get things ready to clean my 2 year old started throwing a fit. Normally I get really irritated and just tell him to knock it off and keep doing what I had planned. But yesterday I didn't. I didn't get mad. I didn't yell. I didn't do what I would normally do. Yesterday I put on one of his favorite movies, sat down, and rocked him. He ended up going to sleep. Then while I was doing dishes he woke up very upset. Again, normally I would be really annoyed, but I sat with him and he calmed down. We sat in the chair together for a while and then he was up and ready to play. But I won yesterday. I won against my anger. I won against the way I usually react. These moments with my children are ones I will never get back. I really need to focus on that instead of the irritants that present themselves. It may be only on

Depression + Guilt

Can I just say.. Again.. Depression SUCKS! There doesn't have to be a reason why I feel like I'm worthless.. I just do. I'm also a Christian. I try to read my Bible. I pray often. I go to church on Sunday. And I really try to be a good Christ follower. But being a Christ follower and battling depression day in and day out is hard. Because I know in my heart that I'm so very valuable because God created me and loves me unconditionally. But my head just doesn't hold on to that all the time. And then I feel guilty because I don't have that joy and happiness the Bible speaks of. I feel guilty because I'm not the person I'd like to be. I'm not the great Christian woman (parent especially) that I long to be. And that guilt can be so very overwhelming. I constantly feel like I'm failing at everything. Recently, during a discussion with someone I brought up something that is in the Bible. The person asked me to stop bringing up the Bible becaus

First Blog!

Good morning all! I'm very excited to begin this new journey of blogging!  God has called me to share my life with others so He may be glorified and people may be helped through their struggles.  We weren't created to go through life alone. And thankfully we aren't alone! Many times in life we feel like we have no where to turn and no one we can count on. (That includes me) But through fellowship and leaning on God's loving arms, we can make it through this life. Together. So, here is a small introduction to me: I am a wife, to a wonderful husband. I am a mother to two awesome little boys and a beautiful step-daughter. I grew up as a preacher's kid along with my 2 sisters and 1 brother. I've had to fight for my relationship with God, and find Him on my own. I am a survivor of abuse (NOT by my husband). I am a mother of multiple children I never got to see or hold (miscarriages). I have fought with depression and anger since I was a kid and continue
