Hey Guys

Haven't written in forever, but we just finally got the internet set up, so I can finally write again!! Has anybody heard from Deb? I tried to get her blog site to come up and it wouldn't. Does she have a new one or what? Nothing much has been going on. I have decided that I need to leave Wal-mart sometime soon. I don't want to do it right away, because I need a job, but I am going to be putting my application into some temp agencies in the Spring and see what happens. This seems to be a sudden type of thing, but I have been with Wal-Mart since I was 17 and I have just come to the realization that I cannot retire from there and if I stay any longer, I will be there the rest of my life. I couldn't handle the idea of that. I think that now I am starting to see how much the company is changing and I cannot imagine having a family and no holidays off, or weekends. Chris and I have talked a lot about it, and we know that we won't be applying for a home loan anytime soon so it would be a perfect time for both of us to leave and find employment elsewhere. We both have a lot of praying to do. I quess that is why I haven't done anything right away. Nothing really exciting has been going on lately. I went through some major depression over the last few months and I couldn't seem to figure out what was wrong with me, it was seriously like an everyday thing. It was almost like I lost the will to want to live and everything. I finally asked my pharmacist about it. I told him what medication I was on and come to find out, both of them can cause major depression. Since I couldn't quit taking my thyroid medicine I quit taking my birth control and I am not joking, I felt better the next day. It was like weights have been lifted off of my shoulders. I read the side effects and it said that if you experienced depression or thoughts of suicide to contact your Physician. I was thinking to myself "Why couldn't they have told me that information before....." Anyway I quit taking it like a week ago and I have never felt better:) I have to get going (Chris is watching a movie and it is distracting me and I cannot write with it on.)

    Hello again Melody. I am so sorry about the depression. I too had trouble with birth control side effects like that and had to discontinue that a long time ago. Depression is awful! Thinking of you.

    Glad you're feeling better! Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm sure God is going to give you clear direction with the job search. You're smart to wait until you have something else before you quit.
    Please stop by and see us sometime. We worship every Thursday night and would love to see you.
