The weekend started out crummy for me and just continued that way. The kids weren’t bad. Shannon and I were getting along just fine. The weather was even nice and we got a lot accomplished around the yard. But throughout it all, a bad mood just hung around. I couldn’t shake it. One thing I have learned about myself through depression and moodiness…when I feel like crawling in a hole or being grumpy, the best thing for me is to get around people – even when I really don’t want to. I’m an introvert and sometimes that doesn’t sound good to me even on good days! However, the alone-ness swallows me up and hangs on. So, I loaded us all up in the car and headed to Grandma and Grandpa Rapp’s. They were doing some yard work (think really big yard work!) and Grandpa had invited us to stop by if we had the time.
First, Grandpa showed us how high it could go. Then he asked the boys if they wanted a ride. Of course, they were hesitant, so Mommy offered to go up with them!
Then they got up the courage to go on their own.
They loved going over the car when Grandpa took them all the way around.
Those are my babies 40 feet in the air!!
Yep, that did the trick for me. We had a blast. 🙂
That is so awesome that you were able to pull yourself out of your shell and go do something. When I get that way, I just want to be alone and usually go upstairs. Good job.
