This last one is a major change. Why? I dont know if its because I have been home so long nursing my infant children over the past 2 yrs or if its my anxiety. the thought of getting everyone (me included) dressed and out to the car is daunting. Then where to go? I usually cant think of anywhere that doesnt cost something. Parks are scarey with 3 small children. I dont know if I am making excuses here or not. I think I may have a little depression as well.
One thing about thinking of the things you want to change can put you in a very negative state of mind. I cant seem to find the answers or maybe I deny seeing them. I know I will be praying on it.
Hope this post makes sense to you all. It's a bit random like me.
As I looked at my previous post I relized I can goto the farm for an hour at least and its walking distance tho keeping the kids safe with out a sidewalk and believe it or not the speed limit is 40 mph on my very residential street, and a short cut for many cars.. well may I can figure something out.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. I'm like that too. Only we don't have a car so it's the thought of getting on the bus and dealing with a bored toddler in town. I have had agoraphobia in the past though so i have to make myself go out or the anxiety gets too bad. Getting out with three kids is a challenge to say the least, but at least when you do it, you will feel you have achieved something. Good luck!
