Hello everyone!! Happy Monday. I am a bit sleepy. Not much sleep last night. It started with a good discussion with dh. Conversations about important, I'm upset stuff usually turns into a fight but it didn't. He has ADD and takes pills for it. The slow release stuff doesn't work for him so he's supposed to take 3 a day and I found out all he's been taking is his first morning one. And here I've been wondering if he has depression or something and he just really has no energy. Big dork. He's going to try and at least get 2 pills in a day and see if he can figure out a way to take 3. Unfortunately, when he takes 3 he can't sleep at night. It stinks. But hopefully now that it has been addressed and talked about he'll get it figured out and see his doctor about it. He has just been so sluggish and not a very active part in the family so hopefully change will happen soon. We'll see. we also came up with some plans for housework and stuff like that to make things easier for all of us. He always tries to overdo it. I came up with a plan for us to start with and he added all this extra stuff. I was just like "Slow down. One thing at a time." So, hopefully that will get us started.
My son's room is almost done. Whoohoo!! I have pics on my blog:

Chris - I cannot believe the year is already into its second month either. I am ready for January to be over but not ready for it to be February.
Linda - Have a blast in SF!! I loved it there. Those double decker busses are a lot of fun if you want an easy way to see the city. PLus you can get on and off of them at all sorts of different stops.
Sandra - I'm sorry you are feeling sick. Get some rest. With all the stress you have had in your life it is no wonder you are getting sick. Do everything you can to get all of your sleep in.
Hi Me, Krista, Karen and birthday girl Blythe!!
Sally - That is very cool that YMG lets you throw a tantrum when you need it. I think a good tantrum every once in a while when there is nothing you can do about something is healthy. It helps get rid of some of the stressed energy that gets trapped in. But like you said you throw your tantrum then get up and carry on with your life. That really does suck that he has to be gone so much. I feel your pain. Derek had to go to Virginia for six months a while ago. I was in school so I couldn't go with him and there was a chance he could get sent someplace else and make it a year. We got to visit for a weekend here and a weekend there but it was hard on us. I think he was the tantrum thrower most of the time during that time period but we got through it. We both just did our thing and before we knew it, it was over. Then he thought it would be funny to tell me we were going to Ft. Hood. Nothing wrong with Texas, I just wasn't really up for living there at the time. Sorry rambling. I was sad with you about the Cardinals. Like most people in the greater Seattle area I hold a little resentment towards those pesky Steelers because they STEAL!!!!! sorry.
Joslyn - even as stressful and time consuming it is that kind of sorting and organizing is so exciting. Having to make room for a baby?? Not a bad thing to have to work towards. I loved it.
To anyone who is posting while I am (this always happens to me since I am so freaking wordy) hello! I hope everybody has a great Monday.
