Completely NP&CER. What's your best quick pick me up?
I'm looking for a mood adjustment that doesn't impair my ability to care for my kids.

Well this as of this morning thanks to BB:
I was going to offer an answer, but there's no way I can beat that.
Above Us Only Sky
I am the 99%.
over the years- shopping has been my therapy - which i'm trying to avoid now that i have kids and no $$
I often find doing something for a cause- helping someone in need, etc, can reall life me up.
when DH was in AA they always said that helping others in need is one of the best ways to help yourself feel better all around.... it's not always something you can just "do" on a rainy depressing day... but as a general rule I try to do good enough that it's hard to let myself get very down.
