I haven't been very good at taking pictures this month...I looked in my camera and the only pics I have taken were for work. I will do better. But I wanted to update everyone on what we've been up to. Utah can't seem to get ready for spring. I really don't mind cold weather and snow during the winter...but the end of March, come on. It has been depressing for me and it's been a hard couple of weeks. I thought this picture would lift my spirits but it just makes me want to go on a trip somewhere warm. Someday :) So this month, we have just been hanging out, trying to entertain kids while I work a minimum of 4 hours a day in my home office. I love my job and it's pretty much a necessity right now since the banking world isn't the best at the moment. But it's a hard balance, only work at home mommies can understand. I have suffered from OCD and anxiety my whole life and stress just takes it to a whole new level. So to most people, I have it together but I just blame it on my OCD for making it look that way! Anyway, maybe venting these thought will make the weather warm up, or make the next 7 days pass fast until I can head south with my girlfriends for a 3 day getaway. I will do better at taking pictures, since my little men are growing up faster than I can believe. Colty is talking my ear off all day and Troy is growing into a little explorer, engineer, and entertainer all in one. Life is good. Happiness is a choice that I must make daily. These are things that I have to tell myself everyday. I am so blessed. I know these times are crazy but things will calm down.....eventually....someday. So there you have it, my downer post. Kev things blogs are fake since they only show every one's happy times, so Kev, this one is for you :)

I know just how you feel!
For a downer post that's not so down! I'm impressed you're chasing your two boys and working hard.
And I laughed at the last line of your post, because I've written but never published several complaining posts (MUCH whinier than yours) and most of them end with a dedication to Matt because he thinks blogs are fake too:)
I think alot of stay at home moms feel exactly like you do at times. I don't even work from home, but it can still be stressful giving your kids the attention they need. I think posts like these are great. It shows you are human and makes me feel normal too! Spring is coming, it is just taking it's sweet time! Hurry up! :)
I am not a working stay at home mom, but I still often feel as you mentioned. I think Winter is partly to blame since you get cooped up in the house with no where to go. Hopefully Spring will arrive quickly. Thanks for sharing your post, as the above blogger said, it makes me feel normal. I think we all have these moments, but keep them to ourselves...I would be surprised if anyone really "has it together"! I love you and you are a great mom and friend!!
Wish we could hang out and muster through this miserable LONG winter together :(
Miss you.
Only a few more days till sunshine! I love reading "real" posts. I post stuff like that all the time. Aaron's tooth, Aaron running away... Man, why is it always Aaron? Anyway, I can totally relate and love that you posted it.
I am glad I am not the only one feeling that way. I can't wait to scrapbook again.
