A year ago today, a very sweet friend lost her battle with depression. Since then, I've always tried to be a little more "mentally" aware of myself and those around me. In honor of Kylie, we're having a mental health check in! So... how are you? Really.Me? I'm good. Really. My husband has been totally stressed out about a whole myriad of things, and I've done well with my goal I set previously this year not to let his moods get to me as much as it used to. Coarse, there was that one day last week when I threatened to change the locks, but that was moreso due to the fact that his five hour golf outing turned into a 10 hour golf outing and he didn't bother to notify me of the fact until about hour 8... but it's all good now.
I've even managed to spend unreal amounts of time with the inlaws doing things I swore up and down I would never in this life do ... to which my husband, my inlaws, and even my kids have said to me, "I'm sorry you had to do that", and I've said, "you know what, it's okay!"
Because I'm doing okay! Now next week might be different, but this week... I'm good!
Your turn. Comment it, blog it, whatever... how are you doing?

After a visit to mom and dad and then a lunch date with the sisters I think I will be doing just okay.
Going nuts with the kids' fights and messes all day long, but I strategically retreat to my room every afternoon, door locked, for a nap and de-stress time. That's one good thing about the kids being out of school: my oldest can hold down the fort when I'm about to lose it!
I'm impressed you've stayed positive through all the inlaw stuff. Wow! I admit, that golf day would have sent me up the wall.
I LOVE your new blog look!! Every last smidgen of it!! I'm too ADHD to do my own layouts I've decided and I send myself on guilt trips for too much computer time rather easily!
Today, I feel stressed after taking the kids into Downtown Denver to sign up for their summer reading program (better prizes!) and lunch at Dad's work and then we stopped off at Ross (which we should'a never done) where the kids had a melt down - all but the second oldest!!
Now, I've got to hurry and make this salad for the dinner party! I'm glad it's not at my house this time...too messy! LOL
Have a great weekend!
