Group Therapy

I'm spending 3 hours a day in therapy.  Most of it is group therapy. I found it quite strange at first, but now I'm starting to see the benefits. I'm also starting to feel the benefits.  My blood pressure was 110/70 today. I haven't had a panic attack in over a week. My body is calming down. Next week I'm going to learn some coping skills. I've been running from my problems for years. Running is not an option. I always ran when I saw my dad pull up in the driveway.   I've never stopped running.  




I also found out today that this therapy is super expensive, almost $2,000.  I'm going to turn my cable off and eating PB & J is going to be the new norm.

Being a mom

I felt like a mom yesterday for the first time in about a month. Yeah, I go to games, practices, concerts, banquets, feed them, wash their clothes, and I take the twins to school most mornings, but life hasn't felt right for awhile.  

So while Henry was at school, I went into his room and started cleaning it for him. It was disgusting. Under all of the dirty/clean clothes, there were a bunch of old sucker sticks and they were stuck to the carpet.  There were also little, round, yellow lemon heads everywhere. I found the empty box under his bed.  



I washed all of his sheets and made sure that he had plenty of blankets on his bed to stay warm at night.  The other night he was looking for an extra blanket and I was so tired that I couldn't get up to help him look for one.  I've been falling asleep around 8:30 every night and I think Hayden has been staying up until midnight. 

I also went to the store and bought the twins some pants that actually fit. They've grown about 6 inches in the past year and all their pants look like capris.

Target


I went to Target in my pajamas tonight. I saw someone that I knew. I didn't even care. I've stopped caring about a lot of things lately.   Life is rough sometimes, but these past few months have taken the cake.  

Thank goodness my boys are all doing well and surviving this situation.  I'm not making the top ten best mom's list these days.
