The Part in Which I Slowly Discombobulate
I'm not quite sure what is wrong, all I know is that something is wrong. I haven't been feeling like myself lately. I feel like I'm outside my life peering in at the goings on. I thought that when I took a break from school, things would get better....they haven't. I could care less if meals get planned or made, or if the laundry done. I wish I cared, I really do! I'm not the only one whose noticed, Jason has been pleading with me to get things together. I can't. I try and I try, but I don't care. I can't exactly figure out when it happened, last couple of months or so I guess, but I need to get out of my funk. I feel like I just go through the motions with everything. I know not everything can be fixed with a Strawberry Limeade from Sonic, but Lord knows I've tried. I guess it's just something I have to work through. I'm tired, of feeling this way, so I thought the best way would to write about it, at least get it out. I guess we'll see....

Oh I have been there honey!
Usually I get that way when I have been under a lot of stress. The funny part is that it doesn't hit me during the actual stress but after when my life has calmed down again so I don't associate it with what really caused it. I call it my "Auto Pilot". I let everything slide that is not essential for life support--that leaves breathing and occasional junk food intake. Sometimes I think it helps me to take a mental health break every once in while. Eventually I snap out of it. Not sure how but I do.
So hang in there. Hopefully it will pass soon. But don't let it go for too long or get too bad. An please, please, please, please, let me know if there is anything I can do. {...I am your VT after all!}
stacy has it right, that auto mode kicks in, and you go through the motions. Come over, and put your feet up, its been to long!! I think a nice girls night out might help too!!! Your to great to just be in a funk!!!!
Did you get my comment?
Aw man, you didn't.
Okay, what I said was:
I think I get like this when I have too much going on for too long. Like what Stacy said. She's so smart. Rebecca is too because she agreed. And now I'm just as smart, because I agree.
I think a girl's night out is JUST the ticket.
At the risk of sounding preachy...
You need to sit down, think of all the things you are doing, and cut some stuff out. Even if that means saying no to favors or service. Some people (not mentioning any names) do too much for others and it can take a toll.
Nextly, do something. Clean the fridge, organize a closet, find some little project to finish. I have found that I get overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done, and I can't do anything. Then, when I do something, I feel better and it puts a little pep in my step. HA! you know me, I don't do pep.
And I don't ever want to hear you blaspheme Sonic's Cherry Limeade like that again. Funk or no funk, I won't stand for it.
Okay so on Friday, I tried leaving you a comment 3 times!!!! I think it's finally working though. I can't remember my comment anymore, but just know I'm thinking about you and a girl's night out sounds good to me!
Okay in response to GNO.. Friday night.. Summer is leaving town too.. so a reason to get together.. not that we needed one.. and Amy H. has a bday.. spread the word.. if you want!
Hey, that was top secret.
As for Becky, I've been there as well. For me, it is like Nobody said, cutting things out. I get bogged down with family, friends, callings and then forget to do anythig for myself. Do something for yourself first then move on to the other things and then drop the unimportant ones.
You've already received some great advice, hope you follow through with your GNO... very necessary time away!!
My two bits: if you don't feel like doing anything, don't! And don't feel guilty about it either. Take the time to read a good book, or play more with your kids, or even catch up on naps you've missed out on over the last 8 years! Being mom is tough stuff some times, you need to take care of YOU in order for you to take care of THEM...
The best way to sooth your soul: get outside!!!! Beaches are best for me, but tropical escapes are rare these days. Take an extra 10 minutes and go for a walk or run, sit on the grass, watch the clouds go by, plant some flower seeds, anything at all. The fresh air will do wonders for your spirits...
There, now you know what I do when I get in a weird funk...
Oh, and who doesn't love Sonic? My fav is the cherry limeaides--practically a cure-all in themselves=)
