Been a while....


I have abandoned my blog for a couple months now....it ,unfortunately,is just like me to procrastinate.


Family is great, I'm loving how we are well into spring *although today you wouldn't think so*...so crazy how we go from a high of 27 to this weather!
Work....same i guess.....
What is new? I finally got laser eye surgery last week and after a very long week with some common side effects I finally am seeing (in both senses) what a great decision it was! My vision is 20/20....it still feels so surreal waking up and not having to reach for my glasses..
Also, I am trying to find natural ways to deal with my anxiety issues...it has been a long battle trying to get it under control. I have dealt with anxiety as far back as I can remember but after having my 1st child it really increased. I have been on medication for the past 4 years and finally am off it. It's been very hard dealing with anxiety and I haven't been very successful. I started acupuncture treatment last week after researching its effect on anxiety. The results, so far, have been very positive. Usually when I go off medication I will have an anxiety attack by the 2nd day..this time...i have gone 5 days w/out medication and NO attacks!!...and this week has been stressful with the headaches and side-effects of eye surgery. I really see the light and think I can have control over this.
It will make such a difference in being a mom/wife.....if i can 'breathe' through the stressful times then everyone (and myself) will be better off.
My baby boy just turned 5 last month...a little tough...I have a 5 year old!!!..he had a great birthday, a perfect day.
My baby girl turns 3 next month, I can't believe how fast time has gone by...I just want to keep them at this age forever..
I'm done having babies so it seems especially hard...the odd time part of me will want another but it quickly passes...i know i'm done. I'm such a crazy planner (thanks to anxiety) that I would be so worried over everything involved in having another...money,sleeping arrangements, daycare...etc,etc...2 kids is great...we have a complete family..along with our 2 cats!
I'm off to sleep....going to be a yucky weekend and I'm going to catch up on some very neglected housework and spend some time with husband & kids..
