I'm OK

I am doing fine and just getting back to normal. I had a few bad days but I'm doing fine now. I would like to thank all of you for all the sweet comments on my blog, phone calls, emails, visits, food, meals, babysitting, listening, love and friendship. I am very lucky to have all you amazing people in my life.

A special thank you to Tyler who is the most amazing husband ever!! He has been an absolute rock and has put up with my many mood swings and crying bouts. Thanks for the tough love of making me get out of my pajamas and taking me out to dinner when I was refusing to budge from the couch.

Thanks to my family who has been WONDERFUL!! I love you guys so much. Thanks to my kids for putting up with me. They were a little spooked by crazy crying mommy and now are happy grumpy annoying mommy is back. And can I say that I have the most amazing friends near and far!! I am so lucky!!

Thanks for all the free therapy...

First and foremost...my mom and siblings...especially Stacey who knew only too well what I was feeling.

Second...my regular "group" therapy. You guys are the BEST and Lucy was even in town visiting!! (I stole this picture off of Lucy's blog...sorry!!) It was so good to see Lucy. She is SORELY missed. That night seriously helped me so much! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Carolyn, me, KariAnn, Andrea, Rebecca and Lucy

Third... Therapy Session number 3...a much needed phone call from Tiffany! It is so nice to have someone who truly "gets" me and all my crazy thoughts and feelings.

Thanks Na for your sweet email too!! We love you guys!

Jayni and Valynn I don't know what I would do without you guys! You have been amazing.

My absence from blogland was mostly due to my computer from %$#@ that stopped working and not from severe depression. :) Although I did have my moments...ok days.

Here's what we have been up to lately. Last weekend after the aforementioned tough love from Tyler who forced me to shower, get dressed and go out he then whisked me away to the lake to enjoy all the autumnal glory. My mom, Grandma, and Kelley came too and I had a nice relaxing weekend and a much needed change of scenery.




It was a GORGEOUS weekend and it was nice to be out in the fresh, crisp autumn air.

This was my mom's bike from when she was a kid

Even Mrs. Beasley was enjoying the fall weather

We went for a beautiful walk

So much for a lovely Autumn picture...someone was either crying or doing something weird.

My mom made the most amazing dinner of total comfort food and then Tyler built a bonfire for us to sit around after everyone else had gone to bed.



Nothing says Fall like a bonfire...although we did miss having our usual "autumn politics" debate...Typical McClellan Bonfire Chat...everyone else was asleep. We missed my mom's "Bush Rant" nothing says October like mom in a froth over W's latest doings!! :) The night was gorgeous and clear. We even saw a shooting star.




We have also been to the pumpkin patch and gotten apples from our favorite orchard.

Here's one of Ailey trying to make me laugh...it totally worked!!

Thanks again to all of you near and far for everything. We are truly blessed to have you all in our lives.
