It’s Saturday morning? When did that happen?
1. I confess that I kicked my ‘Take That’ lists’ butt for the first half of the month, and now January is kicking my butt. Hardcore. Worst January in years. Bleh.
2. I confess that I had a run-in with a mom at my kids school that had me reminiscing about high school girls. I shall write a post if I’m brave.
3. I confess that I had a run-in with a group of mom’s at my kids school that had me excited about going to Costco with my toddlers. Ditto about writing about it.
4. I confess that I am considering anti depressants, cause I feel so, well, you know, depressed. And yes, I’m taking vitamins B and D and fish oil, and, and, and…
5. I confess that I went for a run today and it helped. I hate that. I wish I could sit on the couch and eat chips and feel less depressed. Even running feels like I’m running through mud. So heavy.
6. I confess that I am really struggling with my blog right now. But since that could be January speaking out of me, I shall make my decision in February. Does that make me January possessed? And could you all tell me who can renovate my blog? Can’t find someone affordable that works with wordpress. Ideas? Names?
7. I confess that I love watching The Biggest Loser and Extreme Home Makeover. Why? Because they make me cry. Sad, but true. When I need a good releasing cry, but can’t seem to let it out, I will watch one of those and guaranteed it will get the waterworks going. Quite pathetic when I am sobbing over something that’s not actually that sad.
8. I confess that our car got fixed, but that I’ve been furtively glancing at the space that a minivan affords. Still hopeful our car can last 3 years, at which point I will look at the Honda Pilot.
9. I confess that I have some big, brutally honest posts brewing, but I am not brave enough to post them.
10. I confess that I do not know what to do with this lamb. My mumsies made it for me. Which you would think would mean I would automatically rather pluck my hairs out one by one than part with it, seeings as she is dead. Except, that my mommy made me many things. And she gave this to me when I was mid-teens. I never formed an attachment to it at all. But I can’t send it to the thrift store. Thoughts? It is beautiful and well made. Sadly, my children do not seem to form attachments to any of my childhood toys.
Happy Weekend, what are you doing? I plan on hanging with friends and maybe going to the Museum.

Sorry you are feeling so low. I struggle in the winter months especially as well – but I think I would do worse on the coast because of all the gray days. And yes, January is cursed. It just is. Have you tried a blue light? I often forget to use mine, but it does make a difference for me. As for redoing your blog, my friend does that for a business – can’t remember if I already told you that. Sorry if I am reposting… and I don’t know what her prices are like. http://desperatelyseekingwp.com/ Sounds like you are working on some interesting posts…

You’ve got me on the lamb. Perhaps it would like to reside in a box with my panda bear and stuffed dog, neither of which Sport ever took to.
Also… January sucks. Blame January for everything, and take heart in the fact that next week it’s FEBRUARY! (Which is much better than January, but still not as good as March.)

I agree with Tafel. January is awful and mean. My rule is to not make any big decisions in November, January and March (and September too, but it sucks for other reasons).
Be kind to yourself.
If you search “free wordpress themes/templates” you might be able to find something for your blog out there without paying (that’s what I did, except for blogger).

The January depression sucks! I frequently want to stay under the covers for the month.
On a completely selfish not I hope that you do not stop blogging. I love your blog! I unfortunately don’t know of anyone to help revamp it.
For the lamb could you take it to a women’s shelter or a place that does child abuse investigations? Often places like those give a stuffed animal to children they serve.

Do the girls like the lamb? Maybe let them have her/play with her.
I do have a hard time in January, mainly because I’m sad because our winter, if you can call it that, is over in my mind, and then I’ll be back to sweating, and secondly my list is overwhelming me into doing nothing instead. And if you need some meds for now, it doesn’t mean forever.

I’m sorry you’ve been feeling so crappy this January. I hope we get some more sun soon!
I’d MCC the lamb.
Post the blog posts b/c you are brave.
Keep exercising.
And give yourself lots and lots of grace!
