Hello all! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We have had a lot going on. We have moved my mom in with us until she can get on her feet. I have started babysitting again. It is two sisters. One is 6 and in school most of the day and her sister is 2 and she and Nathan have a great time. Amber really gets along well with them too. It is more work than normal but I have been able to handle it so far. And having my mom here has been a good help.
I am doing good with my medicine. I have had one panic attack since being on the medicine and it was not that bad. I was able to talk myself through it and after about 30 minutes it went away.
I have had some surges of anxiety come on me and I have just had to breathe and deal with it. I know I am going to make it.
Homeschooling is going good. Jacob is learning new stuff and we are keeping on track. Amber is learning SO FAST! She is writing her name all by herself now after only having help one time. She has mastered the letters A, B, M, E, R, T. And most of that was on her own. She loves doing her workbooks everyday. And that makes it lots easier. Nathan also loves to do school. His coloring is getting more on the paper and less on my table! LOL
I am learning to soak in the little moments like hugging my hubby in the quiet of the night right before we go to sleep. That is when I feel the most normal. I also soak in the moments that I get to rock Nathan to sleep and after he is asleep. I love looking in his sweet face and kissing those baby cheeks. So I am ok and I am getting better. Though I still need your prayers. Each day is a struggle and I can only focus on one day at a time.
Well, that is my update for now. OH I almost forgot! Since I have quit posting on my weight loss blog I decided to update here. I have lost a few more pounds since being on my medicine, it makes me not have such a good appetite. So since January I have lost a total of 14 pounds. My goal for the year was 50 pounds but I am not sure I will make that. Slow and steady seems to be working for me. And I am keeping it off. In the past I have yo-yo dieted and that has finally come to a stop. I feel healthier now than I have in a long time. Physically that is, not so much mentally! LOL (it is either laugh or cry about it, I choose to laugh!)
Thank you for all your encouragement.
Until next time!

Yay Michelle! You're doing great! I feel sometimes like you and I are getting out of touch, but we do have to keep our families first - and the school year is an especially hectic time. I'm glad all is going well with all of the recent changes in your life!
Love you!

Hang in there. I suffer with depression and anxiety attacks too. I finally got medicine that works pretty good. Once in a while I still deal with the depression but it's not near as bad. God is faithful, lean on him hard. I'm so glad school is going well for you.
I love the feeling of a good school day. Makes you want to get up and do more.
I'm glad you are starting to feel so much better....don't overdo things...rest plenty!
love, Tina :)
Michelle, I am so thrilled that you are coming along so good and that your medicine is helping you, too!
Great job on the weight loss and for being able to get through your anxiety attach all by yourself!!
We would all be better off if we would just take one day at a time and not worry about tomorrow. Just keep looking up kiddo and we're praying for you.
Hugs,
