Welcome to Ultimate Blog Challenge Day 2 July 2018. I was busy yesterday, and I hate to admit it, but I didn’t even think about it being my mom’s Birthday. My sister texted me asking if I had taken flowers out to the cemetery and I had to admit I hadn’t. Like all, I had been thinking of was myself and things I hadn’t done but should have done.
The more I looked at myself, the more I could see myself slipping back into depression which I suffer. That isn’t fair to my family or me. This morning I struggled to put one foot in front of the other. I have decided this is my life and I am not going to let it get me down. I am moving forward.
I am here to take back my life and become the wife David deserves and the mom I want to be to Charlie. I will get the post done on time I need to complete for the blog and stop letting things slide. Then I will get the house clean and keep it clean and have a meal on the table at night. Then Charlie, David and I can go to the pool to exercise or at least get out and walk in our neighborhood.
Our family has started to spend more time in front of the TV and on the Computer or Charlie is on his game, and were not spending time together. I find us even eating in front of the tv. Something I wasn’t allowed to do as a child and I didn’t let Suzzane do this. So why would I allow Charlie to do these things?
I would like to say it’s because I am busy or the table is full of school and work items although that isn’t the truth. The truth is I have been shirking my duties, and with a new month here and school resuming soon I want to make this a Summer to remember and to do that I need to get up and get things done.
I have this to say “I AM WOMEN” hear me Roar I can and will become a better wife and mom. No, more blaming depression for the things I haven’t done. I can and will move forward, and if its Gods will I will, go back to work and close the blog. Or if its Gods will for Charlie to return to public school I will send him as I know its what’s best for Charlie. I will not cry, and I will not fight these things I will move forward.
I would like to ask for Prayers for our family as we struggle to come together instead of apart as we seem to be going in different directions and if we aren’t careful we could end up getting DIVORCED, and I love my family and do not want that to happen ever.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
You CAN get through this, just take a day at a time and try to be positive. You are a family and need to stay that way! Charlie and David need you as much as you need them. Hugs and love to all of you.
Congratulations, Glenda, on getting this 2nd blog post up and running! We all have days/months where a few (or more) things get lost along the way, but it sounds like you have a great family to support you as you reach for satisfying routines. I’m happy to meet you – and look forward to reading more as the month moves on!
