I'm sorry for all of the difficulties with your playgroup. I have really been blessed by a MOPS group at a church about a half-hour away from me here- I'm sure in Columbus, you could find a good MOPS group, and meet some new friends there. It is more informal, and your kids are in childcare, so I find it easier to be social there.<BR/><BR/>I will be praying for you, and of course for Stellan! Thank you for sharing your heart - it's an encouragement to know that someone else is going through the same things, too!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702958291049563341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039193761340964104.post-85212128573084152882009-03-31T04:49:00.000-07:002009-03-31T04:49:00.000-07:00Definitely praying.

We are exhausted and drained all for our children (who bring us great joy), but at the end of the day, we still feel like we accomplished nothing. <BR/><BR/>I'd still love to crash your next get together with Crissy. Please let me know when I can meet you ladies for coffee or lunch or whatever!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474904464659650603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039193761340964104.post-15907414258260221132009-03-30T20:31:00.000-07:002009-03-30T20:31:00.000-07:00You know I think we all have been where you are at...You know I think we all have been where you are at one time in our life and it is not a good or comfortable place to be. In fact for me it is a bad cycle..the more I feel bad the less I do..the less I do..the more I feel bad. I is a hard thing to break out of. I have no magic words. But I will pray for you and I do care. I will always listen...I am a email away...<BR/>amyb1569@cfl.rr.com<BR/>Take good care of you...get some rest and take baby steps...you can do this..I will be checking back with you.Amy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818950609075017961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039193761340964104.post-42985879302909476462009-03-30T19:42:00.000-07:002009-03-30T19:42:00.000-07:00Of course I will pray for you.I am concerned about...Of course I will pray for you.<BR/><BR/>I am concerned about baby Stellan, too.<BR/><BR/>You know, God hears you whether or not you pray outloud. But it is pointless not to pray to Him, since the praying is more for us anyway. Sometimes God can't give us things until we ask. But, sometimes, God gives us exactly what we need even when we don't have the guts to ask. He knows us so well.<BR/><BR/>I was in a funk for a while, on and off, for like, several years. I finally went to a doctor who took me seriously. I was on the lowest dose of lexapro for 6 weeks and I can't even tell you the difference it made. I guess that meant that there was something in my body out of balance that needed to be balanced back out. But after that 6 weeks I've been fine. Don't underestimate what stress, and anxiety, and lack of sleep and hormone changes in your own body as a result of having a baby can do to you! Sometimes, it really isn't just you! I know that we want to solve our own problems all on our own, but sometimes it is OK to admit that something is seriously in need of readjusting! Sometimes it isn't your fault!Heatherlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355263068372248035noreply@blogger.com
