Grayson is 3.5 tomorrow. He's awesome. And adorable and full of life and personality. He has SO much energy and PERSONALITY. He's exhausting and wonderful.
I go back and forth with wanting him to be boring and normal. And this crazy awesome that he is.
I went to the DR and got new drugs. I took the Citalopram for 14 months and didn't feel like it was cutting it anymore. Or my life is a whole new level of stress now. I'm wondering if I will always be on anti-depressants.
I'm still doing 2 people's jobs and that will not be changing. Chris started his doctorate program and is working 50-60 hours a week. G is G. The house is breaking.
I'm on Effexor for 5 whole days now. We will see.
I finished a quilt and started a new one.
I never take decent pictures anymore.
I took G to the Avengers and still feel a little bad that I let my kid see a PG13 superhero movie. But he loved it and won't stop talking about it. So I guess I will feel twice as bad when I let him see it again.

Good to hear from you.
Some days just go like that--or some weeks. Hope things start looking up for you.
Glad to see you posting again! Just want to say that I understand how crazy 3-year-olds can be! Our big thing right now is that Sarah seems to get into EVERYTHING! She knows she isn't supposed to and she closes the door. 3-year-olds are super cute though so it's hard to be mad at them for long!! :) Love seeing the pics of Grayson!! Also, great job on the quilts! I can't believe you did a 5K...that's awesome! I've wanted to do one for a while, but am too nervous that I'll come in last place. :)
Good to hear from you! I thought of you the other day :)
Love your new comforter...and the quilts are wonderful & I totally thought about letting Bree go see Titanic w/me, but I didn't...although, The Avengers was so awesome, that I'd probably let her see that!
I really like the quilts! It sounds like things are crazy, busy! I can relate to the feisty kids thing! My kiddos are both busy, spirited and fun. They are NOT boring. I appreciate their personalities - they are characters. There are times that it would be nice if they were more subdued - but then they would be boring. My friend's child is boring - I'm glad mine aren't!
Soooo happy to see you here. Hoping the new meds help. Sorry about how busy you are at work. They better be paying you more!
G is so cute and all boy. Love the headboard and spread. Your quilts are absolutely beautiful. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Aw, I'm glad you posted, I've missed you!!
Those quilts are gorgeous and I love the new comforter.
G is getting so big.
yay! So glad you're back!
*hugs!* Glad to hear from you! Feel better soon!
Your quilts are awesome and G is adorable like always! I take 275mg of Effexor a day and have been for 2 years and it has made a big difference in my life but like you I often wonder if I will have to take them forever.
A busy life is a good life, right? :)
LOVE your quilts! The top one matches your blog!
Hang in there Brandy! Life is kinda hard sometimes. I was in Effexor for a few years and I found it worked well for a depression/anxiety combo. Hope it works for you. I was on the higher dose for quite a while, then stepped down to the standard dose, then eventually weaned off it. Loe and hugs, Fiona.
3.5 is a great age. Almost as good as 22.
