Depression is REAl!! For all moms it is looming and wants to take control. The working mom gets it too. Sometimes it is worse because of the guilt for leaving her children to provide for them. Sometimes working helps the depression lesson. Learning what works for you is awesome. I am so glad you are feeling better. As one poster said,"Don't apologize for what works for you & your family." Kari, You are one fine woman. A great wife and mother. We learn so much because of your courage to share. Thank you, Mom Curtis

I can totally relate to this post. Didn't think I'd ever feel this way, didn't want to feel this way. I too want to know what is in your jar??? Please...

I know a woman who raised four boys in the 50's. She was a stay at home mom. One day I commented, "I don't know how you did it, two is sometimes too much for me." She was in her 80's by this time and very matter-of-factly said, "Oh, sweetie we were all on speed."

"What?!!!"

"Yes" she said, "we complained to the doctors that we were exhausted and very sad and of course they just prescribed amphetamines."(sp)

she went on...

"of course, none of knew, you know that they were drugs, we just thought it was medicine(then wistfully) oh I had such energy."

Now I'm not saying everyone in the 50's was on speed, but you know at some point people need help. I myself love herbal stuff. There is this PMS tea that Sergio gets for me regularly...:)

Maybe I've learned 1 thing in the past 2 years...it is "don't apologize for what works for you & your family." Anyone who tells you otherwise can suck it. And for the record, I like you happy or cranky. :)
