Taking back my life...

The title pretty much says it all. Over the last several months I've slowly become a hermit. Only leaving the house when absolutly necessary, keeping the blinds closed, doing everything possible to make it look like nobody's home. It worked too. The only person to ring the doorbell was a jehovah's witness but she shouldn't count. Simply because I lied and told her I was an athiest and that my name was Shelby... and because ahe rang everyone's doorbell that day. Anyways, I finally realized what was happening. The kid shad been driving me crazy, they'd been on summer break for a few weeks and were becoming annoyed with their empty shell of a mom. So, slowly but surely I'm coming back out. Doing my hair, wearing nice clothes maybe even a little make up, the windows are open, kids are smiling, it's getting better... I also managed to pack on about 25 pounds. Yikes! I started promoting (and participating in) the 90 day challenge by Visalus. I'm down 10 pounds already, 2 1/2 weeks in! Maybe I'll get around to posting my before pictures this weekend. Depression sucks. It's a pig-faced meanie head that hides in a dark closet.... If we let it, it will gobble us up before we know what's happening... Nice to be coming back home, Carley
