I met her via an online message board for parents. She emailed me regarding something I had posted, and it went on from there! Since I am a stay at home mom, my social connections are limited, but knowing that I can email her at anytime, or call her if I need to talk, is a great support. Since We started talking, I have made some other good friends online. I do recommend caution, however- not everyone is who they say they are, and some can be dangerous!

The key to most of the problems I have is the fact that I don’t get enough sleep. I was having a lot of ppd related problems, mostly panic attacks, among other things. Once I started sleeping more, it was like I was a whole different person living a whole different life.
I do still have a lot of trouble going to bed. It’s like I really wake up at night, adn there is so much I need to do while the kids aren’t hanging off me. But I am working at it.
Went looking for another box. Was within feet of it, but I had forgotten my stamp and the kids were freaking out. We’re going after it again on Saturday. Also, putting together a box to plant. Very exciting! I love having something that Husband and I can do together.
On the plus side… I have been carving stamps, and it is super addictive!
I guess as soon as I actually find a box and plant a box, I can call this goal accomplished, eh?
