Explanation as to where I have truly been
In recent weeks I have felt lost in my day, unable to focus on as many things as I have in the past. I was easily frustrated with the kids, which is very abnormal, I can handle the noise volume beyond what my husband can on a daily basis, but not recently. I would read something, have a conversation with someone, put something somewhere, but was not able to recall.... anything.... I found myself very frustrated at my husband, for nothing.... For 3 weeks or so this is what my life was like... until two weeks ago... I had a breakdown....from the DOG barking. I called the doctor and was seen and evaluated for Postpartum Depression. Yes Postpartum depression, with a side of agitation. Wow, I was surprised, but ok with this, as treatment for PPD was going to make me function better and feel better. I was given the medication Zoloft, funny side effects? Just the strong desire to drink all the water in site........

So happy to see you back! And very proud that you spoke up about where you've been. More people should be open and honest like you. It happens and is quite common, as WE know in our profession. Glad you're feeling better, I'll give you a call soon!
:( I hope the PPD goes away soon. You can't leave us bloggers hanging like that. I haven't been in touch with you in forver so the blog is how I can keep up with whats going on in your family. Perhaps what you need is to come visit us and pound some nails. lol!
