I am running behind on posts right now. It seems like anytime I sit down at my desk to write, I’m immediately called away to do something else.I hope to have regular posts up soon.
Until then, here’s a photo of Jinx practicing her pouncing skills with Dylan.
July (as most July’s seem to go) was a bad month for me all around. My seasonal affective disorder was at it’s highest for the year, and my depression was raging. My panic attacks made a return throughout the few hours of sleep that I could find at night. During the day my mind was a blank mess that only wanted to sleep. I wasn’t myself, and I wasn’t o.k., and I wasn’t sure that August would find me…
I hate months like that where there are more bad days than good, more bad days than o.k. ones, more wretched days than decent ones. It is a cycle that feels never-ending. It is frustrating, I’m taking all of the steps to try and have better days, but it isn’t working at all.
I’m still exhausted, but mentally I’m in a better way than I was a week ago. I hope and pray that August is kinder.
Well I’m back to menu planning. I had taken a break for a bit, and then I started planning again in July to see if it would help out with the grocery budget. It didn’t really help, but I don’t really know what could help the grocery budget at this point…Now that school is on the way, I’m back to planning.
I’m sharing what I’m making for my family, I’m vegan, so I have a different menu. You’ll see a lot of repeats… My family is PICKY and two times a week I take James dinner, so I have to make something that travels well. Also did I mention that my family is PICKY?!?

One month to go, I keep telling myself, just one month to go. My seasonal affective disorder has hit it’s peak, and I’m feeling pretty awful at the moment. I had a rough weekend, and Monday was no walk in the park. I got the kids out of the house for a bit on Tuesday, and then they fought for the rest of the day. I woke up today listless, exhausted, and blah.
Summer needs to end like two months ago.
