January has come and gone. The year is one-twelfth over. Surprised smile

Is it just me or is the year already just FLYING by?

Well, as usual, a new month means a new Buffet. But this month, Ginger made a few changes. It’s the anniversary of the first ever Buffet being done by the Gingerscraps Designers, so they all did different packs for each of the Buffet, a whole huge SMORGASBOARD of things Open-mouthed smile

ALSO! EVERYTHING in the Buffets are for ONE-DOLLAR! That’s right!! $1!! Can you BEAT that? Probably only if it was free Open-mouthed smile

If you buy ten packs, though, you DO get free! The Free-With-Purchase kit! It’s awesomely AMAZING!

Don’t Fence Me In

There has been some talk about swimming pool fences lately. Kids are drowning in unprotected pools.

I hear “watch your kid” but you know what? Anything can happen in a split second when you turn your head. It doesn’t matter how diligent as a parent you are. Everyone misses something. We’re not robots.

All we can do is prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. That’s our motto here. I like that. It fits.

My Past

Amusing Myself

When I was growing up (12-16), I was on meds for anxiety, depression, and the like. I went through something similar to Xanax detox addiction abuse withdrawal but it was with Zoloft. Including a suicide attempt, at fifteen.

I’m proud that I survived, but I’m not proud that a med let me get to that point. Yeah, it was the med, trust me on that. I had talked suicide, but it was more of a way of getting attention. The act of going through with it was brought on by the meds. Since then, I have been unmedicated for my mental issues, and there has been a difference. It was made worse by the meds.

Since I had kids, and have been on birth control, we are seeing that my issues were all hormone-related. That was why the meds weren’t working and were actually just making the situations worse.
