Trying to become mentally more available

I haven't been very active on here as of late, I have had no inspiration no will to create anything. I feel like I fell into a crater drowning in my own self doubt and pity. Not sure where the wave of depression came from, but that didn't make it any less real. I feel now I am finally crawling out of that great void that was consuming my life, deep in my heart I could feel the darkness slowly breaking me down, and I chose to not allow it to consume me.  So I started doing things I loved again. Knowing if I keep myself busy enough and my mind full I can fix myself. I have been baking non stop which has inspired me to start up blogging again. Creating things is what I am meant to do, whether it be in the kitchen or on paper. So hopefully I will be more active and more available mentally to continue to create and keep my head above water.

Children can be fun suckers and the moment you try to do anything slightly structured and fun with them they fight, or whine, or throw things and ruin it.

Easy recipe, I had all the ingredients, I love to cook so I thought that this could be a fun activity to share with the kids. Sure I knew we'd get a little messy, I also knew things wouldn't go to plan but all and all I felt that it would go well. That was until we actually started making the mix, every other

12/8/18 complaints

Woke up a less accomplished mom today. No energy to feed the children more than yogurt and fruit. I wonder where the me that was energetic playful and productive mom went? Maybe it's the fact that the only alone time i get is so late in the evening and I woke up a different person? Maybe I woke up realizing that I have to work today set the mood. It is a soul sucking job being a server sometimes. I feel like i never saw myself doing it for more than a few years. Ten years later I am still in the industry seeing the same people daily, doing the same repetitive tasks. Asking people how they are? When they don't care how I am. "Fine how are you?" is the programmed response. Instead of telling them, "I am awful, tired covered in ranch and bbq sauce, my feet are tired,my head hurts from not being able to sleep. And I hate this job." But I just smile and take their order, making people feel important is flashing in my face on the computer screen, such a laugh when
