Weekend Trip

Carson National Forest, New Mexico

I spent the weekend up near Taos at the Enchanted Circle here in New Mexico.   Went through the mountains and saw beautiful scenery and took lots of pics.   Had a wonderful time and am very blessed to have gotten to go.    Hopefully it won't be long before getting to go do something else soon.   Here are a few of the pics I took out of 227.  :D

Drove along the river

And beside the rocks

Saw the dear (elk, and antelope play)

Explored the ruins of an old homestead

And looked across the mountains up high.

Just some words

What I want and what I can have are so drastically different right now.  I'm at a point in my life where I'm supposed to be able to accomplish so of those things I want to do.   Between my depression and the household situation I have gone backwards I believe.  I want the energy I had about a year ago, I want the motivation I got when my meds were first balanced.  I don't have that now... situation has changed and now I'm fighting my previous decisions that aren't jiving with the here and now.  I however don't have the means to change things.

I want my daughter to get the help she needs, to work on getting her system in order and working more smoothly.  I need her to get on the ball with her own shit and not take her time.  Things need to happen in a timely manner.   I made the choice to take them in, to help her, to hopefully get her stable with her child in her possession.  But in some ways I feel like she is going backwards.  And I really need her to step up and work on being able to do the momma thing 24/7 she doesn't believe she can do it alone.  I want to show her she can.  I need her to really WANT this tho and sometimes I don't feel like she is wanting the same thing.  Her disability, DID, is complicated and I have done my best to try and understand it to the best of my ability.  Not easy to do however.

My plans to take a vacation in November is not longer an option.  :(  Don't know if I'll be able to go in April either.  Between finances and being needed here.   And I still haven't gotten to go visit Kimberly either.  :(   Can't go to Myschievia even if I had the money for the tickets and stuff.   Money, now that is another situation that is going downhill fast.  :(   I'm starting to worry about how we are going to make it on just my disability and her child support alone.  I need to make some adjustments, more than I already have that is.  If I had my support it would be easier but then at the same time will complicate things.   *sigh*

I feel like I'm sinking fast!  :(
