    Default Anxiety??

    Just left the ER. I know it took me forever to follow up on the going to the doctor thing... I haven't had an anxiety attack in years. So much so that I must have forgotten what they feel like. I swear this hasn't felt like anxiety. They say its normal to have heartburn every once in awhile. Yes, I am under enormous amounts of stress but I seriously thought I was dealing with it pretty daggum well. Apparently not. Hmm... maybe I should take a vacation from everything! Including the kids! Can you take a vacation from your kids? And if so, is there somewhere that will assist in funds to do so?

    LOL... that was a serious but cute post !!....

    Vacation from the kids ?.. Really ?.. u have an ARMY !!... I suspect it would be hard to get away, but I know you well enough you ain’t going far. You to much of a good MOMMY !!... to get to far from all those heartbeats !!

    You have had (still have ) a lot of outside pressure. I personally think you are as strong as anyone. Not to many people could stay focused like you have. Take care of YOU first because that traveling Army needs there “GENERAL”.

    Keep praying you know where your strength comes from !!... All we have to do is believe !!

    An Army indeed!! Lol. They left this morning to go with the people we are staying with, to Panama City Beach for a day trip. They left at 5:30am, I woke up at 8:30 and did my devotions, had my fair life milk and protein drink... showered then tried on a bunch of clothes that I've been putting off. I have to say that I enjoy peace and quiet but only when they're at school. It's much different when they're 4 hours away from home. I had the option to go but opted for the quiet. Go figure. Lol. The pressure is getting REAL! I'll have to fill you in one day, soon. Think of me on Tuesday. Court! Thank you for your kind words! By the way, you are graciously sliding down that ticker ladder quickly! Proud of you!

    Well if I was a neighbor, I'd help take a few of those precious kiddos off your hands for a bit. I am baby, kid, animal crazy. Oh and old people. Everybody else has to grow on me haha.

    You're a busy lady with a lot of responsibility and you've undergone (and are still going ) a huge physical and mental transformation. I can honestly say I don't think I could've done as good a job as you have. It's amazing how far you've come in such a short time!

    Soooooo, all of this to say try and take a little time to do something just for you. Maybe a friend or relative can watch the kiddos for even if it's just a few hours of "Michelle" time. Watch a chick flick, take a long bath, read a trashy novel, something fun.

    If all else fails, you can start a GOFUNDME, I'll donate LOL.

    Lol! I've so thought about a GoFundMe but I hate it when people that don't really need it tell stories on there for money. My sister's sister in law made up that her child was dying in the hospital once and that child didn't even exist. In fact, the kids that she did have she lost custody of. I've given it all to God and I've been blessed with an amazing church family who is taking care of us. My husbands aunt sent me pedicure and manicure money a couple weeks ago. My anxiety got worse when I told my husband that I was the one who turned him in. Surprisingly, he isn't mad at me, not that I care, but my situation is a very stressful one, daily. I look forward to school days because I get to be alone. Last week, I was gone all day everyday. This week, I'm just going to relax. I desperately need to.
