Best way to deal with depression....Plan a trip

The past few weeks have been tough for reasons I won't go into to.  I felt like I was doing everything right but it was all falling apart.  So I booked two trips and we still "have" to book our half marathon trip.  So we booked a weekend for skiing in McCall and then Victoria and I are going to Phoenix in April/May.  Kids voted to give up a trip over Spring Break in order to go skiing.   The trip to Phoenix is so expensive for just a weekend but it is Victoria's birthday present.  I am looking forward to getting away with the family in a few weeks.  Older kids and Lee will ski and the little boys and I will swim and hang out in the condo.  Lee is leaving next weekend for  Friday-Sunday and the weekend will be kind of crazy.  We are helping my mom for several hours on  Saturday although I don't know how much we will be with the little boys. The older kids should be helpful enough though. 


I did make some life changes and I gave up Facebook as well as some other things.  I feel like it was the right choice for now.  We will revisit in a few months.

Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
