I am a happy girl (for the moment) today. I got new medication and some new instructions from my doctor yesterday! I am now taking Lexapro (fingers crossed that this will work well for me) and have instructions to take a Vitamin B complex and fish oil (yuck!) everyday. Wish me luck! Fish and I don't get along, so hopefully the fish oil won't bother my stomach. Anyway, so that is my little ray of sunshine for today! Wish me luck!
PS I lost my wallet 2 days ago and was really starting to freak out. So I went to the place I knew I had it last (I had called 3 times already and been told there wasn't a wallet there) and I walked up to the 1st worker I saw, explained when I was there and that I might have left a wallet, and discribed my wallet...he reached into a drawer and said "Did I make your day?" as he produced my beloved wallet intact, all credit cards and cash accounted for! I replied, "No, you made my LIFE today!" I was so excited and relieved. When I got into my car I just started crying, I was so thankful for the good, honest people who turned it in. I was so relieved, that I did something I had been wanting to do for months...got a haircut! It's back to it's short, very layered look that is in our family photo. Well, that's all for my best day in a long time! Bye!

Issues...this is not an upbeat post
Sorry for the downer post, but I am really struggling with some issues. I would like some feedback...
Our Super Boy has just finished taking an advanced placement test, and he is currently in speech therapy, and now the therapist wants to do a full Autism test with him. I know he is smart, and I know he has some speech issues (mainly that he stops mid-sentence and repeats a sound until the rest of the sentence spills out) but I don't know how to deal with Autism. I know that if he has it, it will be a very-high functioning level like Aspbergers (sp?) but I am already drowning in my life duties and am not sure how to add that one on...any suggestions?
Also, I am currently dealing with some depression issues...to any of you who know me, I know this comes as a shock because I am usually upbeat and fun...but I am having some major issues. I think I have a combination of PMDD (diagnosed) and SAD (not diagnosed). I am on Zoloft at the moment, but it isn't working like it was when I 1st started taking it. Anyone else have the same problem? It was like it worked perfectly for the 1st month, now I'm not sure if it's working at all. Again, any suggestions? (other than switching meds? That call is going in to my doctor tomorrow)
And lastly, my daughter is 18 months old and going through a very whiney stage...I don't know if it seems worse to me because of the depression, but other people have commented about her. All she want is to be with me, on me, flopping on me and it is SO OLD! She is just now starting to go to her daddy when he tells her to, but I am about ready to scream. She is super active all the time and I just need her to be able to be 2 feet away from me without whining and crying, and I don't want to be cruel to her. I already stick her in her room and close the door when she starts whining unceasingly, any other suggerstions?
Thanks for the sounding board, I feel a little better already!

Spring Cleaning and new toys! Now with photos!
As promised, this blog now has photos!
To boost this cleaning frenzy, we decided to buy a big LCD tv...to give you an idea of how big it is, it is about 52" wide and 33" tall! Because the TV is so big, we had to clean out the entertainment center & move it into storage (super girl's room), and that snowballed me into cleaning off 
our desks and organizing them! I even got a new, very comfy office chair. We also had some bad luck with one of our laptops, so now I will be confined to a desktop (thus the new comfy chair). But all in all, it has been fun! Yes mother, I just said that I have been having fun cleaning! Pick your jaw up off the floor! Stop laughing...I'm serious! 
I made out quite well on our new stuff, as you can see from the pics! We even got new bedding for us! I actually got the sheets when I was in Cali, but I just got the quilt a couple weeks ago, and it matches all of our new sheet sets and all of our old sheet sets! It's so pretty! Yay me!
I have been on a spring cleaning kick this past couple of weeks. It all started when we got new beds for the kids. Suddenly I realized that I could get rid of all the baby bedding, toddler bed, Super boy's old twin bed, and all the twin size stuff that didn't match anything else! So that started a whole bunch of ads on KSL, and now Ebay! I was successful in selling the beds and some other baby stuff on KSL, but the bedding didn't go so well. Then I decided to take all the baby clothes I had been collecting and finally try to sell them at kid to kid...I got $17 for about 1/5 of my stash. So now I'm on Ebay hoping to recoop some $$$ from this stuff! But it has made me into this cleaning frenzied woman! I feel a little crazy!

New Beds!
I have been looking for a red bed for super boy and I finally found one! I got a great deal, so I decided to get a white one for super girl too! Here are their pictures and their happy faces! Just thought I'd share our fun!
