I'm Back after a Bad Spell

I am back. It's been a month since my last post.  My last two posts were pretty depressing and I stopped writing because I thought I had to be more positive and helpful.  Then I realized that there were probably many other working moms that were (or are) struggling like I was.  I realized that I should embrace that audience.  The upbeat, outgoing, I've-got-my-shit-together blogs can be helpful and motivating but often times, I think they can annoying and distressing - because I can't seem to do it. Get my shit together, that is. 

So here I am.  My blog name is Multi-Tasking Master Mom and I am anything but a master at this.  BUT, my kids are happy, healthy, polite and love to read.  So I must be doing something right.  And I hold onto that - tightly.  

My "bad spell" brings up a topic I don't see covered much, although I don't have much time to read other blogs, so maybe I am wrong.  Depression.  It's a disease and a very big deal.  I know people who suffer from mild cases and are on medication and that helps them.  So I wonder.....do I have it?  Can it come and go without the use of medication?  Should I be on medication (I'd rather not)? I think the answers to the first two questions are yes, but I am going to do a little research and get back to you.

My parting words are - don't worry if you don't have your shit together.  I think we are in the same boat as a lot of moms.
