    A relaxing day

     
    Todays Mood(s): Happy, Delighted, Creative, Relaxed
     
         I had a rather relaxing day today. Everyone was home, so I was actually able to manage a little bit of time for myself. One of the things I've learned in order to manage my depression, is that I need to remember about me and it's important that I get some "me time". It's helping alot too, that John and Cameron have learned more about depression and are more aware than they were before. They are both helping more around the house, and everything is not just on my shoulders anymore. We've even been more organized than we were before. I actually have a wall of chore charts in the kitchen area! Victoria & Elizabeth each have their own special ones, there is one that John, Cameron and I all share, and we have daily schedules going up soon too. These are just some of the things that have changed around here in order to help me. The thing that makes me happy the most about all these changes, is that they are helping me be able to manage my depression WITHOUT meds!! Whoot! *Does a little happy dance* So today when I got some "me time", I had to decide what/how I was feeling. I felt like doing something creative, so I spent some time making my new banner (it was time to change it anyway because my christmas unicorn was still up :P). I was delighted when I gave Patrick his bath this morning. It wasn't as rushed as usual because it was the first bath where he didn't spend the whole thing crying! Yay! So now i'm hopeful and keeping my fingers crossed that his bathtime from now on will be more enjoyable for the both of us. Anyways, that's about it for today. Now i'm off to give Victoria her reward for exceeding her goal of 20 checkmarks for the week......she gets a manicure & pedicure from Mommy :P
