I'm writing not because I feel like I really have something to say, but because I feel a need to get the "I'm all depressed and stuff" post moved down one.

Life here is pretty much the same. To top it off, when I'm down, I tend to just stay home and watch TV (or sleep). Which doesn't generally lead to any real anything to write about. So, I stare at my blog and think..."I really want to be a writer??".

But I'm starting to come out of my funk..and so I need to start DOING again. Doing anything and everything. Happily this is coinciding with some decision times for me. Classes start this coming week for the Community Colleges in my area. Do I want to take a class? Do I want to take a break? I'm leaning toward taking a break. Also, it is now the week for signing up for spring soccer. Will I coach? Will I not? I don't know yet. But that would fall into the category of DOING wouldn't it? Finally, my son wants to not just do soccer but baseball this spring. He is not just an excellent student but an amazingly smart little boy who humbles me. (How could he have come outta me?) I do believe he could handle both of the sports and school and Cub Scouts. He embraces life with such energy. Still I have to decide if I'm going to commit the rest of the family to spring Little League...especially if I am coaching soccer. See..it is decision time. So it is a good time to come out of a funk, cuz otherwise I'm likely to not DO much of anything this spring.

It has been unbelievably cold here. Our heater hasn't been working and usually here in the winter that wouldn't be such a big deal..but we've had a week of in the 20's low temps. And now it is going to rain this weekend and snow up north too. (Up north here means northern Arizona where there are mountains and ski resorts. Flagstaff, Prescott, Sholo etc.)

My husband is going up north tomorrow night. They are supposed to get a half foot of snow up north where he will be. He doesn't even own a pair of nonwork gloves. Wish me many sales at the sports supply store and him many warm thoughts as he tries to sleep outside in the snow LOL. (It's a Boy Scout thing...he wouldn't go if he didn't feel a responsibility to be an example for the boys...)

There was a big de-lurking week last week. It was last week right? Now, I've never called for comments like that. And I'm not really calling to my lurkers to speak out now. I just wanted to express deep thanks to those of you who continue to comment and to support me despite my sporadic writing lately. And if I have lurkers..thank you for continuing to visit. I appreciate your unspoken support too.

Good luck in your decision making, whatever it may be.

Cold here too, for CA.

Your usually non-lurking friend.

Ooooh, two sports at the same time sounds like a lot. Maybe your son can handle it, but how about the rest of you? ;)

Hope you keep feeling better.

My son can handle two sports at once, but he is the only child at home, the question might be, can YOU handle one child of five, doing two sports.
But oshee, you love baseball, just imaging the joy you would get out of watching him play.
Glad to see you arecheering up. Tough road, depression.

I'm not a lurker, but I don't think I've commented lately, so ... comment, comment, comment.

Hey, just peeking in to say "hello." I think I've got my bloglines set up so I can make regular stops to my blogroll. :) Hope you're well!
