- decide to write a blog post about how lazy I am
So there you have it. Of course in there I also fed, changed and played with the baby, while that is important I still wasted my day. Here is the list of things I should be doing.
- dishes
- vacuum
- mop
- oragnize Kai's clothes
- laundry
- finish the painting I started 2 years ago!!
- work out
- take baby for a walk
- play with the dog
- fold towels
- reading my bible and praying
- and on and on and on and on and on and on...
So you ask, "Rian why are you being so lazy?" That is a very good question and I think the answser is depression. I don't think it is PPD, I just think it is because of our current situation. You know josh unemployed, we have no health insurance, no job prospects, i can't motivate myself to lose weight, I don't ever leave this house except to work one day a week, and on and on and on and on...
Of course it is a neverending cycle. I'm depressed so I don't do any housework. I look at how messy my house is and that makes me depressed. I'm depressed so I eat crap and drink coke. I see how I haven't lost any weight and it makes me depressed. It really sucks.
BTW, check out my new blog layout. I'm no finished with it, but I think it is coming along nicely!!

Girl, you NEED to get out of that house!! Do it! For real! God never intended moms for solitary confinement.
yes - at least get out and go to the park and get some sun! You will feel better after that!
I know frustrating it is to be unemployed. It took me 4 months to find a job, and it was the scariest/most stressful time of my life. I'm so sorry y'all are having to go through it, too.
Take care of yourself!
Girl my house is messy and I don't even have a kid. . . . well I do have a husband. :) Don't be too hard on yourself.

I completely understand... that is the basic funk that I've been in since Monday's doctor's appointment... I don't know when I'll snap out of it, but I'm praying for that to happen soon!
I don't know how some women can do it all, I really don't. I am so lucky to get the baby in to a new outfit and brush my hair every day.
*hugs*
Hey! What am I..chopped liver? What about your fabulous nights out with your wonderful friend!! :)
Seriously though, we ARE going to get you out on that date night!
We seriously need to schedule regular play dates. Park...pool....picnic...ANYTHING!!
Call me!!
I do like the new blog layout ...
I can relate to the lack of motivation to get out of the house ... if you have friends nearby, hopefully they will call you, reach out to you with love and patience as you hurdle this bump. And it is only a bump.
As a note of encouragment about the employment situation ... we've operated on my husband's retirement pay for 2 years now and I graduated from control-freak and worry-head to a woman who trusts God to provide our needs. Being in this situation brought life to the lyrics "His eye is on the sparrow so I know He watches me ..."
Our accountant kept running and re-running the numbers ... in exasperation he asks, "how are you getting by each month?" ...our reply? God is our provider! He is yours, as well. Get in the Word for a good old fashioned "lift of the head"!
Hugs!
