Wow been a long time

wow its been a long time since i wrote on here. well things here are going great. we had my parents over for thanksgiving dinner on the 10th of october. we took the kids to the pumpkin patch and took lots of pics. we had an AWESOME turkey dinner thanks to everyone.

the boyz have been enjoying school. chase's meds seem to be working well. he is wayyyy more focused at school and hes NOT getting in to trouble, he does his homework and does extra work. he doesnt scream or freak out AS much as he used to. tho there is a problem with him being a little more communicative/argumentative. but i will take that over the screaming, swearing and banging of his door.

carson, my little bubbie, broke his arm on this past saturday. he decided it would be a good idea to see if he could fly off the top bunk of the boyz bunk bed, he fell on it funny and broke the bone straight through on his wrist. little man has a cast on it now. poor guy. thats two broken bones in as many years.

the girlz are doing great. they dont usually nap anymore for us during the day, but they fall asleep in a snap after bathtime. they are both learning new words everyday. aggie is my little stubborn girl. she likes to push the buttons by telling u "NO" to everything u ask her or tell her to do.

april is going to be a problem when she gets older (ah crap lol), she likes to stare at u after u put her on a time out, or tell her she was bad. she is going to be a little hell raiser soon.

i am doing fabulously. my meds are working, im making friends here, i am looking into going to school at some point soon.

aside from that everything is going dandy.

i should have some new stuff up really soon. ive been working on lots during this past month.

So, its been 2 yrs since I went on drugs for my postpartum depression after I had the twins. Just after they were born, Scott had to go away on a course, my mom was staying with me and helping me since I had the twins and the 2 boyz. Well, all was going well when Scott was here, he would get up with me at night to help feed the girlz, basically he helped me with EVERYTHNG. When he left I was going good, I was pumping, getting up with them, and watching the boyz as well, which was a feat all on its own. After about 2 weeks of this I went to see the Dr for a check-up and she asked me how I was doing and I told her about some feelings I was having and how emotional I was. She told me to hang on a minute and she went to talk to my mom about it, my mom told her some things that she was observing while she was here.

The Dr didnt like the sound of this so she told me I would need to go to the hospital for a night or two. I told her that I had 4 kids I had to take care of and twins that I needed to feed and put for a nap, she asked if my mom could watch all of them while I was in the hospital and I told her 'probably not' and then told her that I would go home and call Scott and get him to come home (if I could) and then I would go to the hospital for her. The Dr told me that if I didnt stay at her office that I would have a police escort and be taken to the hospital by police car. I told her 'whatever I need to feed my 4 kids'.

I got home and fed the girlz, and was just getting the boyz their lunch when there was a knock on my door. The Dr wasnt lying, the police showed up and took me to the hospital (in front of my 4 kids!!!!!!!!!) where i was immediately taken to the Acute Mental Health ward and checked in for the next 2 nights. My mom got a hold of Scott and he came home the next day and came to see me in the hospital to see where this was going. I was almost Halloween so I told him I was hoping to go home before then. So I passed out after I had dinner, and when I woke up it was like 12pm and I felt refreshed, not at all happy but refreshed. I had lunch and then I went to go see the Psychiatrist and talked to him about what I was feeling and such. He asked me some questions and assessed me and then put me on some medicines to help with those feelings. I was send home on Halloween day and got to take the kids out trick or treating. I was to go back a week later to see the psychiatrist and re assess how I was managing. He kept me on the meds he first put me on, but raised the dosages and was to get a dr and was to seek out councelling and check back in with him 6 months later.

I have been on drugs since then and seeing a councellor as well. As of 4 months ago, I am on a steady dosage of meds and am happy to announce that I dont need to see my councellor anymore. I feel happy and LOVE being a SAHM to my 4 wonderful kids. I have never felt this was since after I had my second child.

Anyway, I was playing around yesterday and came up with these, there are no drop shadows on the stitches.
