my natural attempts at treating anxiety…and stuff

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared some of the latest SheKnows.com Mommalogues.  I’ve been so busy with the holidays, my posting schedule (and motivation) has been slightly off.
But for your viewing enjoyment, here are just a few to catch you up.
{my anxiety story}
Are you ready for the “wa wa wa….Debbie Downer” side of Summer?  To be honest, 2011 was a tough year….and I should have known when it started with a week long hospital stay where I lost yet another organ.  But, I’d take that any day over what I really struggled with over the year.  It wasn’t easy, but I learned a lot….so even though my life was hard, I know that because of it all, there will soon be Beauty from Pain.

On the brighter side….
Besides getting this amazing opportunity to work with SheKnows.com here on the Mommalogues?!?  Well, I mean, that one is hard to beat.  But, with the year I had as hard as it was, most definitely taught me one thing.  That I have been beyond blessed….and I have much to be thankful for.  Here is what made my 2011 the best it could be.

I love TV.  Can I just make that clear?!?  And I really don’t see anything wrong with children sitting in front of the tv for hours on end, days and days in a row.  (as long as they’re learning something, I consider that homeschooling.) And of course I only mean that during PMS.  But for the rest of the month, I have a way that it just all seems to balance out.  It may not sound okay to some, but for us, it works.  And in the end, I’m happy and that’s really what matters most.

If it were up to my kids, Christmas would be all about them and all about how much they can possibly get in one morning, and then when all is said and done they would be bummed about the one thing they didn’t get.  But….to me, that just feels gross.  In fact, last year I told Jimmy that this year things needed to be different.  So instead of focusing on what we want or what we can give, we are trying to focus on the true reason for this season.

{i may actually reference the drug, crack, in this webisode.  whoops.}
Mmmmm…..cookies.  I have a slight addiction to sugar, chocolate, fudge, cookies….and when Christmas is here, oh. My. Word.  I want and will eat it all.  But there just so happens to be one, just one, that once I get started I just can’t stop.  Watch and see it happen in action.

 

 

 

 

 

As always, we are on FIVE days a week, each day covering a new and fun and RELATABLE question regarding mom (and some non-mom) stuff.
It’s all quite fascinating, and I would suggest checking back and COMMENTING each and every day.
{why you don’t comment here or there continues to baffle me…but i’m working it out in therapy.}
I’m sure it has NOTHING to do with you having a life or anything.
Which obviously, I may or may not have, if I’m so upset over something as minor as the lack of comments.

It’s just….
Have I mentioned I’m a middle child?

sigh.
ANYWAY.
Happy CHRISTMAS ADAM (learned that from the Duggars)!!!!
{get it?  Adam came before Eve?  har har}
Love you guys.
xoxo

Comments

  1. Yikes on the corny joke. Those are the best kind though. I don’t think I’ve commented before, but Merry Christmas to you and your family!

  2. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Summer! I know, I’m the worst commenter EVER (as in I randomly pop in to say something) but I always read or watch. I’m kinda voyeuristic like that…okay, that was creepy….2011 was hard in so many ways; too many to count actually. So here’s hoping that 2012 will rock our socks off.

  3. Hi, my name is Heather! Please email me when you can, I have a question about your blog ☺
