Hmmmmmm

Ok, so this is going to be a weird post, but as I have said before...think journal. Wow, that sounds so presonal and normally I wouldn't let the world read my journal, so feel free to skip this post.  Not sure I really should post it anyway.

This past week was one of those weeks that seemed to go by in a blur.  Not because there were so many things going on, but because it was just......I don't know, blah.  I just went through the motions of doing what I needed to I guess. Just kind of in my own little bubble. Does that make any sense whatsoever????  Has anyone else had a week like that???  I can't describe it.  I really wasn't in a bad mood, just not in the best happy mood I could have been.  I did all that I needed to but without much enthusiasm.  It wasn't a bad week at all...just a week.

Don't get me wrong, it was not a boring week at all.  I did do some really fun things like go with a friend and the kids to jump on trampolines (see last post)......out to lunch and shopping with a friend (without kids).....M's basketball game (she won).....doing service for a friend in need (I loved helping her) .....scrumptious fondue party with friends (can't beat an ever constant flow of chocolate).....even my presidency meeting was fun (we all get along so well)..... and my day at school was fun too(those kids make me laugh).  Thanks ladies for the great times...I really did enjoy myself and I needed all of that to get me through my week.

But, I really just wasn't my usual happy self that week.  Feeling blah.  It was the weirdest feeling, like being disconnected.  Like not really caring about stuff, but still doing it anyway. I'm sure my family noticed, but probably not anyone else.  I try to always stay upbeat for those around me...not wanting outside people to know anything is wrong.   I sometimes get the January Blues, but this time is different and I must say...I don't like it.  It could just be that "time" again, but still, something is off and not as it usually is.  My hubby has been sick with a nasty cough FOREVER that is bugging the life out of me (not that it is any picnic for him either) and I have been keeping my distance in order to not get sick.  Maybe I took that "distance" a bit too far, encompassing everything.

Whatever the reasons behind it, I hope that this week is better.  I am going to try and be more upbeat about things this week.  Try to be more emotionally involved in things.  Get closer to my family.  Bake--that always makes me feel good.  Gotta get out of my funk somehow.  More service this week will do that..I like that helping someone out makes me forget about my life and brings me joy!  Watching my kids participate in things helps and M has 3 games this week.  Have a big night planned with old friends so that should be fun.  There is never a lack of things to do, just need to go into this week with a more energetic mindset.  Wish me luck!

Journal or not...get it out. (Yes, I am the one writing this...ironic.) For some reason it's easier to write on a blog than talk about it to me...therapy for me. ;o) I hope that your week will be back to the happy go lucky gal I left in CO. Love you!

This is the time of year that seems to just drag for me too. It's nothing I can really put my finger on, but rest assured you are not alone Melanie. I do agree with you about service though. Pres. Hinckley always said it would get you out of yourself and lift you up. It certainly does that! I'll be watching for your next post, and hopefully it will let us know you are doing better. Have a good week!
