I hope that you spend the next few weeks with family and just reflect on what is truly meaningful to you in your life . What makes you happy . Forget the rest . I felt the same way about my children growing up and really enjoyed them so much when they were home with me , but as they grew I realised that I was growing with them and that each age and stage had its rewards and lovely happy times . You will get to know their friends and share that laughter in your own home with them . You will be there for them through all sorts of life experiences . I hope you feel better soon .

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I struggle with depression and anxiety/panic disorder. You definitely need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and focus on things that make YOU feel good. Nobody expects you to just live on your blog. You live in life!! Know what I mean? I hope it works out for you in the fall. I'm excited to see what is coming.<br /><br />I have a daughter that is 16. I'm sad that she will be an adult soon. She is more on the kid side right now and a tomboy. She is doing her own thing, but we still have our special bond, and I've actually have gotten a lot of hugs lately. Things are always changing, but it doesn't mean that it will be bad. She will love school and you get to receive all those cute drawings/paintings that she makes!<br /><br />Take care of yourself! We all love you and want you to feel better.<br /><br /><3<br />karrieKarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186655510311203493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133349480262766438.post-53843777362793602212012-07-29T12:37:35.206-04:002012-07-29T12:37:35.206-04:00I LOOOOOVE the fabrics that you used!I LOOOOOVE the fabrics that you used!Kadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201526262066822080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133349480262766438.post-68575531202608328902012-07-29T09:41:16.610-04:002012-07-29T09:41:16.610-04:00Probably it is time for "Me first."

I had a horrible time with my hands for a while, couldn't even grasp the needle to do my hand quilting, and had to take time off to see a doctor to find out what was going on. We are still trying to work through my medical issues but my hands, thankfully are feeling wellll enough to get back to hand quilting, and so I am happily working on my quilt again. That time off was well needed, and the fact that I couldn't quilt made me want to do it so much that I just thought about all of the ideas of things I would do IF I could quilt again, and now I am having fun again.Mommarockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551129981851834217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133349480262766438.post-79456575204315955772012-07-26T08:12:09.121-04:002012-07-26T08:12:09.121-04:00I will definitely miss reading your blog, but you ...I will definitely miss reading your blog, but you have to do what is best for you.

I find that to be the *most* frustrating thing, because we often feel so helpless when it comes to our bodies! I often have to remind myself that I can only focus on the inputs, not the outputs, and this helps bring the focus back to what I can control-- things like getting enough rest and eating foods that are good for my body. It sounds like a blog break is in order, and I hope it helps you feel rested and restored! Plus, it's so smart to take advantage of the summer months with your kids :) <br />And-- I *love* that pillow!! Brilliant fabric choices!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655605999354177572noreply@blogger.com
