I freak out when it Snows

Yes I am on of those people. Even though I have lived in PA all of my life and it snows here every single year I am still so scared of it.

I hate snow and it would not be so bad if I never had to drive it in - that is my worse fear. It snowed here in PA for the first time of the season yesterday. It was not much - less than a inch but it was a nice coating that made the roads very very slippery - which in turn made everyone drive very very slow. My usual 20 mins drive home from work took me about 90 mins. But I did not mind because even though I did not do about 20 MPH on the way home I still was sliding all over the place.

Another reason for hating the snow is my husband always has to work it it - even though we did not have plowable snow - he still had to go out and shovel all the walk ways and salt everything to make sure no one slipped and fell.

We were suppose to go to his work Christmas party last night - but due to the stupid snow we could not go - my husband did not even get home until 10 pm.

I need to move to a place where we never get snow. My makes me far too stressed out. Now if it happened on a Saturday night and I could sit home with my husband by a fire - then it would be nice - but that will never happen.

I just hope that it is not as bad as it was last year.

In an effort to be more positive I would like to share a few of my favorite things.

1. Uggs - I know they are so three years ago and ugly to boot but they are so comfy and I love them!!

2. Candy Cane Green Tea from Trader Joes - if you had not tried it yet - get a box - so great this time of year!!

3. Original epiosdes of 90201 on SoapNet - I can spend hours on the weekends watching these - brings me back to simplier days.

4. Costume Jewelry - I use to be all about only wearing real jewelry - not anymore - there is so many cute things out there to try.

5. Hatha Yoga Class - so relaxing yet energizing at the same time.

6. Pumpkin Pie with Cool Whip!

What are some of your favorite things??

Living in the Present

Is a struggle for me - I keep thinking about this time last year and how happy I was - or before IF and how blissfully unaware of was of how hard it would be to start a family or when I was 18 and before my life changed forever when my mom died. But I have to stop living in the past - I need to live for right now. Alot of my friends have commented on how I seem to be stuck in the past.

My one friend said I am too hard on myself and I have had a rough year and I need to give myself credit for the positive things I am doing to move forward. I have been trying really hard to get out of my depression and sickness I feel. I am going to therapy once a week - I am taking yoga twice a week and also taking acupuncture once a week - my work week is completely filled with all these appointments. I have also started meditating at home.

All of these things are great steps forward but do not seem to be working - so I am taking the advice of alot of my blog readers on here and I made an appointment to have an evaluation to see if I need to be put on some kind of anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medication. I have really resisted this for a long time and it is not something I really want to do at all - but I have exhausted all of my other options and I really am having a hard time coping and dealing with everyday stress. My appointment is for December 23rd - it was the first one they could give me. I was told it would just take the edge off and I think that is what I need.
