Lately I feel alone. Very very alone. Of coarse I have my children who are with my all day every day, and my husband who i get to see maybe an hour or two a day lately which usually doesn't come with much conversation due to work and all... But it feels like I'm not connecting with anyone. It's kind of putting me into a depression. It doesnt help that I have cabin fever, my kids are sick, and I feel trapped in my own home like a prisoner.

I am trying really hard to keep my spirits lifted, but I keep getting really down. I hope that I get out of this funk sooner than later. Any idea's on how to do this are welcomed! I know everyone gets in these funks at times.

Now i just my turn I guess.

Well we came home to have both our boys sick. Monkey has a bad case of Bronchitus, and Chunky Monkey has a double ear infection, sinus infection and bad cough. So needless to say that I've been mothering them more than anything else. They are finally on the mend and are doing much better today thank goodness!

The first day home I did manage to get all of the laundry washed, dried and the kids laundry put away. But the house remained a mess. Today I finally got the house cleaned (Living room/Dining room, kitchen, bathroom. Aahhh does it feel nice. I dusted from top to bottom, scrubbed counter tops, and tables and put all kinds of stuff away. I have to steam the carpets and couch, but I will do that later tonight.

Does this all count if I have not been able to touch upstairs???? Hubby is on the night shift this week so our bedroom and bathroom is pretty much untouchable during that time. I'll have to work on that this weekend.

Doesnt it seem we always need a vacation when we get back from a vacation??? There is always so much work to be done. More work to go on vacation and come home then to just stay home!
