Happy, Pappy

It's been an emotionally draining day for me. But that's okay, because I thrive on my emotions. Or they control me somehow. Or I like them...or something.

It's funny, you know. Emotions. We're taught that we are to control our emotions, but at the same time, we shouldn't completely repress them. It's a constant battle, and if you throw in mental illness of any kind, it's almost impossible without outside help. But that's okay. And getting help is okay. In fact, at times it's an absolute must.

I'm going to remember this in the coming weeks. See, it's there, you know. In the back of my mind, lurking, waiting, and hoping I'll let it out. You know, that jerk we call Post Partum Depression.

I know it's real --I've had it three other times. It's getting worse with each kid, too --but not as bad as it could be. And in reality, I didn't get it with #2, which makes me feel better. In fact, the fear of PPD might make me suffer more than the PPD itself --who's to say? I'd take that over PPD any day, though.

But to keep us happy and give us some happiness and be all-happy and what-not, here are some good videos to make you the h-word. You know...happy. Because who couldn't need some happiness right about now? I know I would love some:
