A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit. (Proverbs 15:13 NIV)

The grumpies have struck … full force.

    Well Shera, I handle the grumpies with 20mg of Prozac a day. And, sometimes (most of the time), I feel like I need a higher dosage! And beyond that I have to ask God to please help me. I also try to remember how blessed I am to have all of these children. And, how the bible says that a house that is full of children is a blessed house. And, I really get a grip when, I watch a show about women desperately trying anything to have children. And, I’ve been blessed with four! However, mothering is a hard job and we need a break like everyone else. Unfortunately, we don’t get a week of vacation after a year on the job!

    I too can catch that case of the grumpies easily as well! Take the time to take time for yourself! I find my “special time” around 10:30 p.m.

    Chocolate, coffee or wine. I wouldn’t suggest all three at the same time, but any combo usually does the trick for me. We are not stricken with this illness, but are battling a bad case of the lazies. Symptoms include: no clean laundry, dirty floors, and empty pantry. It’s awful, but it lasts up to 2 weeks I hear.
