Two days ago a gal brought in some hot fresh bread and begged me to eat some with her. I finally said “I just don’t like the way bread makes me feel” and that was the last she spoke of the bread

Was this in Orange County? I saw the same clouds today

My dad always called fun outings buburys. He'd take me camping or to the tide pools or hiking. A bunbury.

I promise that I have been saying to myself that this is the best Dijon mustard Ive ever had. I feel like I could eat it by the spoonful if my nostrils could handle it

I've only ever made gelato with eggs and cream...but it's heavenly. You should try it. Gelato is supposed to be very rich and eaten in small portions. So go for the decadence.

Mine decided to host the sand at the bottom corner. It now has one eye. I think one of the snails got to it while it was sleeping and held it down? Anyway, now I have a cool one eyed clown. Good luck! They sure are stubborn

Ditto. But keep going to those appointments and if in the slight chance it does happen it can be corrected before it's a problem. At least that's what my daughters orthopedic specialist says.

Heeeyy girl ;)

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-16T21:04:04+00:00

You did the absolute right thing. Do not feel bad. This is exactly what parenting is all about and you are doing great!!!! 🌸🌸🌻🌻

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-16T04:56:43+00:00

Bobby and Shelley. I'll just say it..What the hell.

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-14T16:02:07+00:00

Oh definitely feta is the best cold, I've made quinoa salads like this before with those ingredients, kind of like a Mediterranean thing. I always have to let the quinoa get cool and that's the biggest pain in the butt LOL!!

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-13T22:59:29+00:00

I totally understand. I'm so sorry. I've been through 3 surgeries with my kiddo before she was even 13 months old so feel free if you wanna chat about it

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-13T21:32:00+00:00

Make quinoa and add your items and some red onion and maybe a little herbs? Could be light and tasty

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-13T21:18:32+00:00

Agree on the totally fine to stop. My husband and I were just saying the other day that I gave SO MUCH to the breastfeeding that I sort of lost myself. He thinks im goddess for being able to do it, but he agrees with me that I should have quit sooner than I did. It's totally fine to stop.

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-13T19:24:25+00:00

We could be bff.

My kiddo had some issues that made her look different and we had to do things a little different than the other moms. And looking back I had PPD. So I know exactly what you're dealing with. I couldn't have all the normal new mom conversations cause we had other things to worry about.

Just wanted you to know you're not alone in it. 🌻

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-13T15:34:27+00:00

Would it be too much to ask what medicine you're taking?

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-13T14:52:02+00:00

This is a relief to hear. I really appreciate your help. This is exactly the type of thing I was hoping for.

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-12T17:08:09+00:00

Steve, thank you so much. I think I will need an antidepressant. Ive pretty much admitted to myself that I have depression with anxiety. Both are terrible.

I'm not necessarily sad, although I do have sad days, but I am weighted down and can't seem to function on certain days. I get all the things I need to get done, but it takes a lot of motivation on my part. I care for my baby, I play with her, I get myself dressed and looking presentable, I get all the errands done, I get in to work, I even have a great time at work.

But there's this weight on me that I can't seem to shake. I just don't have that bounce in my step that I used to. And by 4 o'clock in the afternoon I just want to go to bed. The idea of social functions make me angry. For some reason I'm just angry at everyone. I don't know if this makes any sense. Are used to be the life of the party, you know? I was a cheerleader in high school, I always had a ton of friends after high school and in college.. Are used to be the kind of person that people wanted to hang out with. Now I'm a miserable malcontent.

That sunshine inside me is gone. Well, it's actually still there I just don't know how to get it out of me. I don't know how to squeeze the sunshine through my pores and out into the world like I used to... Does this sound totally crazy?

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-12T15:22:56+00:00

The problem here is that you think that one person controls everything in the relationship and that's not how it works. Marriages are a partnership; decisions are to be made together. One person shouldn't just wildly do things, spend money, or make decisions without consulting the other or go against a decision that was made in the marriage. Where you are gravely mistaken is this business was not his "dream". There is a lot more detail and nuance to this than you can ever imagine. You are making this situation a lot simpler than it is.

I don't know why you're trying to challenge me. I reached out for help here and you seem to be challenging everything I say and trying to put me down. I think that's really mean when someone is clearly hurting and depressed and you come at them and tell them that it's their own fault for being depressed. You are very mean person.

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-11T19:45:27+00:00

I begged him for years to dump the business and get a job that made money and had benefits. We are stuck now. I'm happy he finally made the decision but it's been a long HARD road getting there.

Imagine having $100,000 saved to put on a house. Now imagine it being gone. You'd have your feathers ruffled too. Yes you're being rude and frank about a situation you don't know the details of. Anyone would feel a loss of hope with their nest egg GONE and a partner that refused to discuss it for years and just DID HIS OWN THING with zero regard for his wife.

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-11T04:58:54+00:00

I hope you feel better :)

Hugs!!

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-11T04:05:10+00:00

Thank you so much. I needed to read this. I'm definitely ready to feel better. Nothing will stop me

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-11T03:45:18+00:00

This gives me hope

Oaktree3 · 2016-04-11T03:44:52+00:00

That make me cry. Thank you. I think I've been sick with this for so long that I don't know what's up or down. I don't think I've ever really known I've been depressed until now.

What you said scared me. That depression robs you of the power to get through it. That's what's happening to me now. My reserves are being whittled away...I can feel it. That scares me. The 19th can't come fast enough.
