Stabilization ... finally!

Sorry for the delay between posts, but Music Momma has been busy trying to get things back to normal. A week & a half ago the AMMP returned from his big bathroom renovation adventure. Thank you God, now I do not have to be the only adult dealing with those 3 adorable amazing annoying young people who live in our house, but think they should have to do little or nothing to have the privilege of being fed & having a roof over their heads. Don't get me wrong, I love our children. I really do, but summer vacation has already been here for about 6 weeks. Now they have plenty of time to do all that nothing.
Anyway, my meds are definitely working. I've also been back to work for 2 weeks now & most importantly - NO MORE NIGHT SHIFT EVERY 4 WEEKS!!!! I have trying to get that change approved by my employer for 2 1/2 yrs. Unfortunately it took a hospitalization for that to happen, but no matter the circumstances at least it's done.
The AMMP started rehearsing the music for our community's summer musical, and our other music project is also going well. Our community stage band had it's first gig over the weekend. Not bad for only being together about 2 months! We had a few rough spots, but that's to be expected. Our next performance is in about 2 weeks & we will be much better prepared & have more songs ready by then. And Our son Geek Boy? He totally rocked his bass guitar playing. The kid is so solid you could hit him with a truck & not knock him over. Everyone did a great job & we are definitely looking forward to the rest of the summer.
Our girls, The Brainiac & DeeDee are involved in the children's play for the third summer. Brainiac plays what else - a headmistress & DeeDee is a fairy with a broken wing who keeps attempting to fly anyway. DeeDee will be attending summer bible camp next week, for the first time without her sister. She is very excited! She also started playing the clarinet & is taking lessons from her dad.
Nothing new on the job front for the AMMP, but there are some plans in the works. When we figure them out I will share what I can.

weekly update #1

Hey all - I just decide to do an end of the week update, either on Friday or Saturday as my schedule allows. It's been a week since I came home from the hospital, and things for the most part have been good. The first anti-psychotic med was horrible(You can read about that here http://musicmamasbigolballofcrazy.blogspot.com/newmeds ).
I started taking a different anti-psychotic med on Monday, and so far it seems to be doing what it's supposed to do. My energy levels are very low, so I can't do much. I may go out on an errand or 2 with the AMMP, but that's about it.
Speaking of the AMMP, he has been amazing through all of the stuff this week. One morning after the kids were gone, he set up our living room like a massage parlor, with a roaring fire in the wood-burning fireplace, candles, classical music & gave me a massage. He also bought me a single red rose. He's been building fires all week because cold weather has been aggravating my arthritic joints and we don't want to turn the furnace on. Plus, it makes the house smell amazing! I hope everyone has a good & safe Memorial Day Weekend!
