Are You Sane??

I've had a song in my head lately, its from Dr. Demento

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged
You not to leave
Because I'd go berserk?


Well!

You left me anyhow and then
The days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind.

And

They're coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They're coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa

To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those
Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They're coming to take me away, ha-ha!

You thought it was a joke
and so you laughed, you laughed,
when I had said that losing you
would make me flip my lid.

Right?

You know you laughed
I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed
and laughed and then you left but
Now you know I'm utterly mad

And

They're coming to take me away, ha-ha,
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho,
hee hee, haa haa

To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket-weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, ha-hahaha...

I cooked your food, I cleaned your house,
And this is how you pay me back for
All my kind, unselfish, loving deeds,

Hah?

Well you just wait, they'll find you yet
And when they do they'll put you in the ASPCA you mangey mutt!

And

They're coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They're coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa

To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those
Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They're coming to take me away, ha-ha!

To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket-weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, ha-hahaha...

To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see.....

If you've never heard it, you gotta find it on line and listen to it! It will be stuck in your head for years... i haven't heard it anywhere but my head since 1997......

Giving Thanks for Hubby

Ok, so I've barely mentioned my hubby. That doesn't do him justice! at all! I keep saying, ok, i need to blog this so it shows exactly how awesome he is. and i forget... Not hard to do being that I feel like I've got a million balls in the air. I normally have a ton of things going on at once, and still forget, but when he's here, he helps me out, gives me my sanity and just is comforting. But when he's gone, its a whole new ball game. Things i don't' have to normally think about, i have to remember. For instance, i don't do the trash, kitty litter, feed the kitties, and put the kids to bed and stuff like that. Now i have to do it all and remember to do it.

This year, i had a harder time starting out, i think that I let myself just get too wrapped up in everything and just forgot that i can do it, and kept telling myself that i couldn't. I don't' WANT to, but i CAN. A supportive, loving hubby insures that the transition will be fine.. when you listen and just relax. But of course, i didn't.. and found myself almost spiraling out of control. Something that I ended up doing was made myself think the worst, and not realize that it was ok, that i can do it. So, with the stress and everything that was going on, you know, 2 kids now, one infant, one toddler, well in to the terrible twos, 2 cats, a 2 story house to take care of, finish organizing everything, just seemed to pile on top of me.

And i let it sit there for a while.. getting heavier and heavier to where i thought i couldn't' breath.. Then i finally asked for help.. of course, it came in the form of a pill. Then a different one, then a new dosage... all in a VERY short time frame. (all prescription for depression, nothing else) They never had a chance to get into my system and start to work. But, i think that just asking for the help, made me realize that it is ok, whether mommy needs to take a few extra minutes in the shower for alone time, or needs to cuddle one of the kids extra long, it is OK. I will be ok.

And he never doubted that i could do it. Even when i started to allow myself to freak out cause i lean on him so much, that he still KNEW i could do it. and, 2 weeks later, i know i can too.

He is awesome, and i have so much love and respect for him, that i could never express it well enough to make my point. We've been together over 8 years now, and regardless of how much junk we deal with or go through, we're here, together, and i thank God for that.

I think that God allows him to go (this is his THIRD time) so that i will remember to give God thanks and bless Him (God) for giving me my sweet Kevin. Cause, sometimes, i forget to be thankful.. and that is just so NOT good. Sometimes, i KNOW i smother Kevin with too much "neediness" cause i forget that God is there to lean on too. He (God) gave me life and my family, and I've been doubly blessed far and above than i deserve. Sometimes, i need that "kick in the pants" to remember that.

The Longest Day Ever

I really do wish i knew why when you are feeling your worst that the kids act up or need you the most... I woke up at 230 am with the fun little "present" my kids had, meaning the stomach flu or bug or something. Anyway, i started yakking and didn't' really stop for hours and hours.. It bit! I would be like, ok, its gotta be 10 now, and it was still 630. Time just dragged big time.

When i put Lizzie down for her nap, i was shocked to see it was *only* 130 and not the 430 it felt like. I don't' think I've ever had time drag on like i did today.

oh well, I've had a sleeve of saltines and some ginger ale today. I just had two pieces of bread with some butter on them, so hopefully they will stay down and not want out. *sigh* This new drug makes me really sleepy.. I am wondering if i am used to it or i puked it out this morning... as i was dragging today, but I'm sure it had to do more with lack of nutrition, being up really early and all the puking, and not my pill... who knows...

Don't' forget to spring forward at 2am! Hopefully, i WON"T be awake to do it!

Getting help when you need it

I am not a person that likes to ask for help when it comes to me. I will ask for help for someone else, but not me. I hate to show vulnerability. But, when you need help, you need help and if you don't' reach out that is not a good thing.

So, I realized about a week before hubby deployed that i needed help. And i ignored it, and ignored it, till the day before he left. Then i reached out and asked. and of course, i couldn't 'get help right away. Not till a few days later and past a weekend. Well, the first course of antidepressants i got was not for me. 2 days later and i was like no way, cant' do it, the side effects are bad.. So, i got put on something else. I'm on my 1st day still, about to take dose number 2 in an hour or so. It makes me SLEEPY. I hope that is just temporary, cause the kids don't sleep past 7 or 8 if they can help it.

And of course, they BOTH got sick. I think Lizzie's over it. Hopefully Aric will be over it soon. blah. Sickies suck!

Aric rolled over ONCE, just ONCE, but he did it, now if he can just remember what he did to do it, he he.

Sorry i haven't written lately, i will do better to keep this up.
