I want to see your quilts! I know you're a patient person because you quilt! I used to sew alot in High School, and I even made my wedding dress. But when I did quilting in High School, I lost patience.
You seem like a pretty amazing person yourself Wendy. I admire your strenth and your ability to GAL so well amongst the hell you're going through right now. Quite frankly I don't know how you've done so well! If you're feeling a little BLAH... I hope to shout that's just a little appropriate considering! I've felt alot BLAH for almost a year. Im tired of it. Having good outlets and friends helps get out of the Blahs. I think that's part of the reason I tend to get very stuck mentally. All I really have is my kids. Not alot of friends or family anymore. My H family was my family. My mom died 7 years ago, my aunt is 500 miles away and I haven't seen her in 12 years. My grandma is 92 and is bed bound with severe dementia. My best friends are far away and I only see them a few times a year. So all I do is work, come home and see my kiddos, which I love. But I also need some ME time too. So when the kids are at their Dad's, it's me time.
I guess Im odd. Im a loner, but too much of being a longer is not a good thing. I like to have a balance between solitude and socialization. So Im trying hard to think of things to GAL and get more social. I wish there were meetup groups around here, but there isn't any.
Lately I've been starting to feel the joy I used to feel in taking care of my kids and my home. I was so happy being a SAHM. Im trying to focus on that more. I haven't been as present with my girls as I wanted to be because I've been very depresseed over all of this. I didn't realize just how depressed I was until I started coming out of it some.
