Where Have I Been Lately?


OH CRAP!!!! I haven't posted in forever!!!!! Where have I been?

OH YEAH! I've been hanging out with my little niece, K-girl!
And her baby brother, K-boy!!!!! (Is he not just SO insanely little and cute???

And watching them be adorable TOGETHER!!! (He's like "DUDE! I'm trying to SLEEP here!! Ya mind?!)

We've been playing with the Kareoke (Yeah, I spelled it wrong. Deal with it.) machine we bought for $5 at a yard sale! (Ignore the door, we are SO repainting it soon and replacing those curtains... BLECK!)
And playing Texas Hold 'Em Poker, with a set we bought for 8 dollars at a different yard sale! Everything was new except the case, which had a broken latch. BIG DEAL! LOL What a bargain.

And making baby bibs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The crocheted ones in the top left are done and ready to sell... all the rest are in various states of production lol I'm feeling the bib vibes wearing off, so I'll probably finish these and then move onto something else for a while until my "bibbing mojo" comes back LOL
Depression... I can't say it's gone, but it has lessened some. I plan to listen to all of your advice, believe it or not. Tomorrow night I plan to get a notebook and set it aside to journal my depression and anxiety. I also plan to grab some St Johns Wort (Note to Brian: I'm going to look for it at Nancy's herb shop on 41), and ask if it is safe for me since I may become pregnant. Jen, if I get to the point where it is consistently taking over my life, I plan to take the journal to my doctor, and ask for a different medication... perhaps one that I can take AS NEEDED instead of all of the time. I more or less plan to take one day at a time, and see what feels right.

Ohhh...what beautiful babies!! Yeah, I can understand wanting to spend time with them, I would too.

Wonderful job on the bibs!! I hope you sell them all.

Karaoke is fun. What song was James singing (just curious)?? The girls had one for awhile but it eventually croaked.

The bib's are pretty. Maybe you could make one for the newest addition to the family. Don't know if you saw my latest status on facebook, but I'm pregnant with #5!

Your life is so full and full-filling right now Jana! Look at the wonderful people, the fun, the creativity... It seems to be helping you shed the pain a little. You are definitely not alone.

Husband is the best at Kareoke however you spell it. He has such an ear for vocals (as well he should since he's been doing live sound for 27 years). Thought I'd let you know that Leah over at www.creativeeveryday.com is writing about getting off anti-depressants too, in case you want to go visit.

What cutie pies you have there! New babies are so weenie and then 20 years+ later you have to look up at them (son is 6'4" since about 18) and believe me when I tell you time flies. Even with Grandson who is going into 1st grade this year! how dare he?!
