Thanks for making me feel not so alone!Lydianna Bradford https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655219490445305276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17020787.post-29180259629597718692007-05-21T18:31:00.000-07:002007-05-21T18:31:00.000-07:00I LOVE You!

And now I'm running/walking/staggering/sweating like a sick pig...but still going. <BR/>It's a bit trickier for you, though. You're out in the middle of a reaaaaally hot desert and no where to really go, kwim?? Hopefully there's something you can do, some kind of stimulation (mental, physical or whatever) to make you feel alive again. For me, just finding some sort of outlet that clicked with my daily routine brought me out of my slump. (as in using my ipod while walking and not feeling the least bit guilty that the little buggers are screaming and hitting each other.) <BR/> Hugs, kisses and mucho mojo going out to youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17020787.post-63449722142661908172007-05-15T21:14:00.000-07:002007-05-15T21:14:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17020787.post-39421233831472993412007-05-15T17:58:00.000-07:002007-05-15T17:58:00.000-07:00Mamma Chronicles,I don't know if you do memes but ...Mamma Chronicles,<BR/>I don't know if you do memes but I tagged you for "Seven Random Things About Me" over at my site.

Is it better that you've had a career and know you can do more? Is it harder or easier to then stay at home? I truly don't know. But if you ever need to sigh into your phone talking to someone who knows what you're talking about, you know how to reach me.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837577632196382673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17020787.post-48740070790944072652007-05-09T15:53:00.000-07:002007-05-09T15:53:00.000-07:00i think it's very very important to have something...i think it's very very important to have something to call your own besides the home and kids--especially for those of us loony enough to stay at home full time. =) don't you even home school, too? <BR/><BR/>i did this by taking creative writing classes at the local uni extension (one night a week for about two months). then i wrote a novel! the fact that i had nothing else but this made me keep going. it kept me sane. because it was all me and all mine.<BR/><BR/>i also do an art class once a week. i have most of saturdays to myself to run errands, do spa treatments, just sit at the coffee shop and read, etc.<BR/><BR/>to be a good mom, we need to rejuvenate ourselves. we need to trat ourselves to a little alone time. you can't give and give lest you are left with nothing more. <BR/><BR/>i hope you take some time to treat yourself! and pick up a hobby or two you can selfishly call your own. love your blog, girl!cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13911692378593865493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17020787.post-11259093470678696012007-05-04T21:52:00.000-07:002007-05-04T21:52:00.000-07:00can i just say that yours is the first blog i've r...can i just say that yours is the first blog i've read all week that made me feel like i wasn't alone? after looking at your profile i was happy to see that it is because we are a bit alike. i am homescooling 3 of my four young kids in wa state too.
