Clouds can be good too.

I love the glorious feeling outside when the clouds roll in right before it rains. Sunshine is nice for some, but to me the sudden drop in temperature as the cool breeze shows itself is truly amazing.  That is the happy moment I can relish in as summer  nears and the oppressive heat and humidity prepare to force themselves upon us. 
Did I mention I love cool weather.

Making time

     I recently had my fourth child and am dealing with postpartum depression. At my final check-up my Dr gave me a hug said I was not a bad mom for feeling they way I do and I needed to make time for me and cannot expect to be around my baby and kids all the time and perhaps I should go the local festival.
I am obviously depressed, have 4 kids, 2 with ADHD mind you, and you tell me I need to go to a festival where thousands of people will be?
   I was floored, I have had this man as my Dr for 8 years and thus to me therein lies the problem, he is a man. Yes he personally has never given birth nor had a c-section as I have. I do not think I am a bad mom, I am a stay at home mom, there is no time off.
  I have since decided time for a new Dr.
