Hi Everyone,
Once again my life has kept me busy and unable to do anything eccept what was nesseccary. Man things got really rocky last week, I really don't know how I got through it...lol...seriously. I have been dealing with my mom's move and the kids and my grandkids and my grandkids mothers. I keep trying to figure out why I am always the mediator, counselor, instructor....and a lot of other titles.
I guess I should just keep going in this new path God chose for me. I am run down though, that's one thing that I do know. I had to tell everyone that I was turning my phone off yesterday so that I could get a little rest...and guess what? It worked :) I'm learning to ask for help when I need it and that I don't have to do everything myself, I think age is kinda helping with that too. My body isn't handling things the way it use to.
Things are settling down in the house, I was getting pretty stressed with the mess that was here. I suppose I didn't think things all the way through with this move and on the other hand, maybe that's why I didn't think it through, I would have paniced and prolonged the whole thing. If you could have seen my little living room, you would understand my stress. I said that if a fung shui person came into my home, they would have run screaming...lol.
I ordered my mom her first and only second comper in her life and I have to admit, I had a motive behind it and my motive is working out wounderfully. My mom is totally occupied with it and leaving everyone alone most of the time. Don't get me wrong, she is a great person, just REALLY nosey and out spoken.
Just to remind everyone, I went off the depression meds and was trying to go it el natural. I am at times still having to take the Adivan for anxiety, but am trying not to take it unless my head it about to pop off.....so I still have a back up plan. All I can say is that I am SOOOO glad last week is over. Now I have to focus on getting this paper done for school.
I really hope you all are doing good. And I really want to say thank you to everyone that gave me advice, it means a lot to me.
Hi Moonflowers,
You sound like you are handling so much so well. That's great. Congratulations! Turning your cell phone off is a great way to take care of yourself.
I get so mixed up when overwhelmed. What do I do first, second etc. I have to remind myself to take few deep breaths and rest. Otherwise, I go into frantic activity all the time, especially when emotions are high with all the stress.
I suppose I am still feeling 'triggered' and having a hard time calming down. I will go for a walk today, write and maybe call some friends. Just saying hi and you are not alone :)

Hi Moonflowers, you know what I always say...breath, breath, and you know it works dosen't it
I am glad that things are working out for you. You have taken charge of your life, and that is what it is all about. You are in control
Keep up the good work, rest, eat right, take it at your own pace, you are in control. Very proud of you!
