My battle with depression

Thumbnail image for My battle with depression

I currently have friends dealing with alcoholism, divorce, depression and many other issues. I often encourage friends with blogs to share their struggles along with the good news they’d normally share. Writing about things you’re going through makes you seem more relatable and even better, has a chance to help others.
Depression is my struggle. [...]

This week

It’s a pretty busy one. Softball game, last days of school, dentist appointments, packing and then we drive to KC on Friday to begin our 9 days away from home. Oh, and I’m starting a blog as a side business but not really looking at making money yet. Just building content and getting setup right [...]

The job situation

Many have asked what Andy’s current job situation is so I wanted to let you all know what we know. Included in the inquiries was Blake saying “Dad, are you losing your job?” which was especially interesting since we don’t watch the news and don’t discuss these things with him until there’s a reason to. [...]

Long time, no blog

It’s been over a week since my last post. When there’s lots of personal type of stuff going on, I post less until some of it gets sorted out. That was the case this week. Everything will work out fine for us but the world around us has just been crazy. I hope to resume [...]

Update

So far, so good

We knew today was Layoff Day at Andy’s work but I was still shocked to get to work and see this headline right off:
BREAKING NEWS: Cessna Wichita just handed out 4600 layoff notices this morning.
We expected 2000. It increased to 4600. At the end of the day, Andy hadn’t been notified he was one of [...]

Emails with the Principal

Payton is going to a new high school next year and the school has been very proactive in getting planning done early. Our kids have been enrolled, they are choosing their mascot, their colors and the parents are on an email list to receive updates.
I really love the use of email by the school because [...]

Diagnosis: Ear infection

Seems some what anti-climactic but I was diagnosed with an ear infection today. Glad it was an easy fix but confused why it made me want to faint for about 24 hours. I know the fluids in the ear affect balance and all of that but I’ve had ear infections before and never felt dizzy [...]
