Random question but have you ever seen a naturopath or considered that maybe there's more at work than just the everyday stressors? Of course I am speaking from my current condition - doing a candida cleanse (i am not a detoxer i promise you) - but sometimes there's more than just everyday life at work.

I'm a bit of a crusader about this because it made such a difference for me. Many, many women have hypothyroidism and don't realize it -they just attribute feeling low energy a bit blue to the difficulties of everyday life. My thyroid conked out after my second child was born and I attributed my state of mind to the fatigue of a second baby. I was wrong. Once I got treated I got my vibe back; I realized that my "old normal" was not normal at all. There's a bunch of helpful info about hypothyroidism at this link from the NY Times. http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/hypothyroidism/caitlinhttp://www.theshingledhouse.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-22677999752395573042013-11-08T23:03:22.899-05:002013-11-08T23:03:22.899-05:00I think this time of year is hard on many of us. ...I think this time of year is hard on many of us. Especially moms, for whatever reason. Either you're at home and starting to get a bit of cabin of fever and a glimpse of the months to come, or you're busy at work and trying to keep up with the onslaught of school activities with a full time job. Certainly makes me go to bed at night (ha! early morning,at best) wondering what is important and what I may be missing.Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-5457264992397087762013-11-08T12:06:30.666-05:002013-11-08T12:06:30.666-05:00we have a 4.5 year old + a 3 month old in the same...we have a 4.5 year old + a 3 month old in the same room. works great!

After a move to a new province and into a MUCH smaller temporary home, we decided to have our kids (5 and 4) share a room so that we could have a dedicated toy room (so toys weren't EVERYWHERE). That was the end of August - and yesterday we put an end to the insanity and gave them each their own room. This morning, instead of waking up at 5:45, they BOTH slept longer (didn't keep each other awake after my son used the loo). On one hand, I'm sad - I loved seeing them sharing a room, but on the other hand LET SLEEP PREVAIL! All the best to you!JSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-46282642180301498202013-11-07T20:49:45.331-05:002013-11-07T20:49:45.331-05:00winter and these nasty bugs are a downer...my 4 ye...winter and these nasty bugs are a downer...my 4 year old is coughing in bed right now...<br /><br />look for an indoor playground! at a community centre!Shannon8footsixhttp://8footsix.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-41692013473403040582013-11-07T20:47:26.019-05:002013-11-07T20:47:26.019-05:00I've been having too many lost days lately mys...I've been having too many lost days lately myself. I have to kick myself to do anything. With a 2 year old and six weeks to go until the next one is born I am losing motivation and energy. We are fighting colds, we are fighting boredom. We moved to a new city in the summer and I haven't made any mom friends. I feel bad I haven't connected with any other moms so that my daughter has an opportunity to play with other kids. In the summer I would take her to the park but now what to do? It's been lonely. I can't seem to get past my shyness! Why is meeting other mom's so hard? I was so good at meeting and dating men. Women are a whole other story though..<br />No advice for you other than to say to just take a deep breath. Winter can feel very blah...Megnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-80284811734557224782013-11-07T19:27:50.037-05:002013-11-07T19:27:50.037-05:00There has also been nights when my younger son was...There has also been nights when my younger son was crying when we left the room.

We've been thinking about moving our 2 and 4.5 year old daughters into the same room to make room for a playroom in the basement (our eldest daughter's room would become an office, freeing up the space downstairs). Anyways, both our girls sleep quite well- but i'm still nervous about them waking each other up. I think there's something to be said about bonding too. I dunno, I had a brother and never shared a room. But up to a certain age, I think it could certainly make them closer. Update us in a bit with how it's going- hopefully well and it'll give me the courage to make the jump!robynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-65032937513117998692013-11-07T15:11:48.632-05:002013-11-07T15:11:48.632-05:00Hi.
