My Mojo

I think I may be getting my mojo back. After talking with my doctor, I have weaned myself off Celexa. For a week I took 2/3 of my dose. Then a week I took 1/2 dose. Then for a week I took 1/2 every other day. Then I stopped taking them altogether a week ago. I feel like I have slowly been waking from a sleep or coma. I have been more emotional...in a good way...like tearing up at a sad movie. I have been getting so much more done. While on Celexa I just didn't really care much about anything. I sat around alot, eating, playing computor games. Now I am caring. I am feeling. I'm getting things done. It is great.

Painting

I painted my son's room today. First I painted the ceiling white then the walls a pretty brownish color named "Sand." I am so happy with the way it turned out. I spent all day working in there. It looks really good. I have ordered his quilted comfortor and pillow sham. They are called "Alpha, Bravo, Charlie" and they have an army look to them with tanks, army helmet and helicoptor. He loves tanks so he's going to love it. Today after school he was happy with the new color on his walls. He just doesn't like it that he can't get in there to play. I am tired, but in a good way. I love it when I accomplish something big like this.

Update

Okay it has been quite a while since I posted. Alot has happened. I started back to school last August 2008. I took pediatric, mother-baby class and did well. Then I took the big, tough, lots-of-people-fail med surg class. I failed by less than a point. I cried and cried. And then I cried some more. This not only meant that I had failed a class but that I would no longer be with my classmates. My friends. I think that was the worst part of failing. I was really upset and down. But I went ahead and signed up to take it again in January 2009. Christmas was great. My sister, Mom and Dad all came to spend time here with me and my family. The break was over and then I took the med-surg class for the 2nd time. I passed with a high B. Yeah me. I met some new friends and had a great clinical group. I still miss my friends from my first class but I still keep in touch with them. Now I have to wait. For five months. Yes, five months for the class I need to take next. They won't let us take classes out of sequence. They only offer the next half of the med-surg class at the beginning of each semester. So, I missed it this time around because I had to retake the other class. So, I now have months before they offer it again. I am LOVING this time off. But I am SCARED I will forget all about what I had learned. I LOVE being at home and spending time with my kids. I am getting alot done around the house. I have been cleaning and organizing and painting. We had a great Spring break and Easter holiday. We went to see my Mom for a long weekend. Hubby and I got the yard cleaned up and looking good for Spring. My daughter broke her arm when she jumped off the swing at a park. She thinks her cast is cool. She has a buckle fracture and has no pain from it since she got her cast. So, now you're caught up.
