WOW!
It is amazing what even a little sleep will help. So no worries about my last post. I am feeling much better now that the sun is up and my brain is rested. I went a little crazy in the middle of the night. I am not going to delete the post because it is my journal as well, and those things are always funny to go back and read. But I am coping with my issues much better at this moment. And I will take my life one day at a time. And just keep doing my best. So no need to bother yourself with reading my crazy hormonal rage. Hey, it happens to the best of us!!

I love those kind of 2am talks to yourself...mine usually come with an ugly cry.
I realize it was just a moment & it's gone now but really the only cure for moments like that...lunch with me at Nordstroms Cafe.
Oh & one more thing...no one is going to feel sorry for you b/c you have skinny ankles:)
I bet they didn't even swell during your pregnancies! xo
Julie,
I just want to tell you that I can totally relate to so much that you said in your last post. There is so much I wish I could do or be and I'm not. Being a mom is so dang hard and it looks so easy for some women (especially on blogs) to do it all. I find myself being so envious of women who are so talented and their homes are so beautiful and they actually cook! But I realize that we all put on a good front on the blog.
I would never post messy pictures of my house (in fact I have to clean to even take a picture in my house!) and I would never post an unflattering photo of myself!
Anyway, I was just looking at your cute Fourth of July pictures before I read this post and thinking you and Justin are such a cute couple with darling kids--and I can't believe how fit you are and you've had 5 kids! Then I read the "Who Am I" post and I felt better.
I'm glad you're feeling better. Just wanted to say I've been there lots of times and I appreciated your honesty becuase it made me feel like I'm not the only one.
Julie, Are you kidding me? You are the one that I look at all the time and go "Well, look at what Julie can do...I can certainly do my stupid stuff." You are one of the most put together people I know. You have AWESOME kids, a really great fun marriage, and your hair always looks good!@?!! Take it easy on yourself. You are greater than you will ever know.
We love you guys and still miss you tons!
Christine
p.s. blog stalking can cause some serious self doubt. It's weird isn't it?
Don't worry, it happens to the best of us. It's called The Adversary!!
Jenny M.'s sister-in-law here:
Jenn mentioned your early morning post in a phone call this morning because it fit in so well with the subject at hand. I hope you don't mind that I dropped in to read it.
I too have had many of the same 2 a.m. thoughts and I too have awaken to a brighter day on the other end of it. It's so good to know that we fight so many of the same fights mentally as mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and friends.
You make me smile.
