I think the activities of the last few weeks are catching up with

me! I went home for lunch today, started crying and couldn't stop.

I had backed into our daughter's truck (which was parked in our

driveway, and I knew it was there) and crumpled bumper on our van. I

think I am physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted, but there

is so much to be done and I am the only one available to do it.

I had to put my doctor's appointmetn off until next week, as I have

to drive to Indy (2 hours each way) to pick up our daughter

tomorrow. Ron is just not able to drive that far, and there is no

one else who can pick her up. Then get her settled in on the couch,

make sure she's got the phone, munchies, drinks, books, and TV

remote. Come back to work, then pick up TJ and take him home to

Mommy. Go home to my own house, get things ready for the next day.

I guess I should count myself lucky that I'm not taking a strong

medication that makes me any dopier than I am!

Sorry to be whining without any cheese, I just think I reached my

limit this afternoon. But what do you do when you can't just sit

back and rest?

Hope everyone has a good and pain-less afternoon,

God bless,

Judi

So sorry about the van, Judi! I hope you can rest soon. You've have a

lot of responsibilities and the stress that comes with them.

I like to use music to help me relax when I'm on the go. Laughing is

good too!

Judi,

With all that is going on, it¹s hard to relax. I hope things calm down

soon.

Like , music is what sooths me the most. I¹m blessed to be married to a

piano player that regularly serenades me with the most beautiful music. No

matter how bad I feel, it¹s always soothing. How about a nice hot bath

with some candles lit and music playing?
