Tilt-A-Whirl

~ I feel like I have a tilt-a-whirl in my stomach. It's the feeling I have had for a few weeks now, or maybe it's been a few months. I try not to think about it or let it "really" exist, so most of the time I ignore it. But lately it's getting more persistent. Faster, harder and affecting more than just my stomach. My hands are shaky. My patients are shot. I have almost a constant headache or at least a dull ache in my head most of the time. It takes me longer to fall asleep then ever in my entire life.

I kept trying to ignore this feeling, hoping it would just go away. It hasn't, like I said, it's worse. So, as of yesterday I tried something different. I tried to attack it by doing some of the things on my LONG and DAUNTING "to do" list. Yesterday I didn't feel that anxious. Yesterday was pretty good. I guess that I'm going to try it again today. I just don't know where to begin. Well that is not entirely true, I know there are a few places that I could begin, and just beginning at all would be good, so no matter where I start, at least it will be a start!

Wondering why in the world my body is reacting in such a manor lately has me even more on edge. I know I have said that I've felt anxious before, or nervous, or stressing, but honestly I had NO clue what these feelings were till they have a FULL FORCE attack on my body! I just hope I can stand strong and not let them get the best of me... trying to counter act bastards is hard, I'd like to stay in bed sleeping all day instead.

ugh

ugh. that is the ONLY way to describe how I'm feeling today. :( Not feeling well at all, I think mostly it's stress and aggravation. Not sure though. I feel sick to my stomach, but not like I'm going to be sick. More like an anxious feeling. More like I just have too much to do and not nearly enough time to do it all. I'm STRESSED to the max. I have school work and cleaning and packing to go away and getting the kids and myself ready. Getting the kids to behave and not torture each other. Nothing is working. I have a headache. I have to get up and do all this stuff but with no place to start... at least that is how I feel. I know there is a place to start... but it just seems over whelming to me. All of it. Even the littlest tasks seem out of my reach.

I'm going to finish typing this, take a deep breath, and try to move forward, at least take one step.

Wish me luck.

:) Happy Friday!!

~ It's FRIDAY!!!
Well almost every day feels like Friday when you are on Summer Break, but we are happy here because it means that it's the weekend for Bryan and all our family and friends, and we will get to hang out with them!

There has been a lot of weird and crazy stuff going on around here lately... some of it is completely a MESS and some of it we just have to shake our head out and wonder what the hell people are thinking!!! seriously.

I plan on doing some blog posts about all the stuff that is going on... just to sort it out in my own head and also to keep record of it. Some of it I just can't believe is really happening so it will be nice to be able to sit down and look back on all these times in our lives. Hopefully I'll find some time soon to type it all out... there is so much to tell and so many details that I don't want to leave out.

About FRIDAY though... I'm excited... We have a babysitter for the kids tonight, thanks to my wonderful parents, and we are actually going to go out to dinner and find something FUN to do with Heather & Chris!! It has been a while since Bryan and I had a babysitter and did stuff without the kids, so this will be nice.

Then tomorrow we have a TON of stuff going on... Bryan is on call and planning on working and then the girls both got invited to two different parties, and both parties are for their BFF's from pre-k... and they are BOTH at the SAME TIME!!! ugh. not sure what to do yet... but I think we are going to try to go to both! I just can't not go to one or either. Then Sunday is MX races, that I think we will go to. Trevor isn't racing this year, because he is scared of his new bike and unsure of how he will do racing it. :( Poor little guy, if he just gave it a try he would be fine, but we don't want to push him.... we'll see when he is ready he'll be ready. ;)

So that is all for now, and since I haven't done too much in the house since the other day I'm going to work on that some more, and I want to clean my car today to for my HOTTT date tonight with my husband!!

what if...

What if I could just pretend that it was someone else's house I was going to clean for money... or that it was someone else's house that I wouldn't have to worry about it not staying clean for longer than a day... would it be easier for me to get up and do it???

What if I was going to pretend that I was having company over at any minute and had to straighten up before they got here, would that push me to get out of this chair and off the computer??

What if... hmmmmm. not sure because I'm still sitting here.

I know I need to get my house in order, and get rid of a lot of the clutter, it will de-stress me sooooo much, but the thing is getting started, and then following through. this is the laziest I have ever been, and I'd like to blame it on the fact that I was in school from Sept till June and busted my butt, and just need a break, but now I have been off for a while and really need to get a move on doing things around the house...

I guess maybe this will be my move... maybe!! lol

Maybe if I take a picture of each room in my house in the condition that they are in right now, it will motivate me to do something so I can post a new picture of how they look after I cleaned them up... hmmmmmmm.... that would give me some motivation and also something more to blog about... seems like a plan!! let's see how it works out.

Lacking...

~ Today is lacking a lot of things... sunshine for one. Which I think has a spiral effect on the rest of the day and what it seems to be lacking. ~ I'm completely lacking motivation to do anything... even though there are many things I should be doing... like cleaning, organizing, taking advantage of Summer break to get these things done when I'm not having to go to school, and then of course there is my Summer school work that I have yet to start. ~ It's also lacking the kids playing outside and being in a good mood, they are BORED.

~ Earlier I made a Scavenger Hunt list for them to do outside, since it stopped raining for a few minutes, but now it's so muggy and sticky out that they only did a few things on the list and wanted to come inside to get drinks and veg out. I can't say that I blame them, but now they are inside and fighting with one another and bugging each other constantly because they are BORED, and that in turn leads to a LOT of tattling and in turn drives me CRAZY!!

~ We are trying to manage through the day, but I'm lacking a lot of motivation to do anything, and at the same time I'm feeling completely frustrated because the house needs to be straightened up, cleaned and organized, there is laundry (as always) and my school work is seriously in need of some attention all while I feel I should be doing something fun with the kids to entertain them!! ~ they don't want to watch a movie, they don't want to take a walk or play outside, they don't want to do anything.... I even suggested a nap. LOL really that last suggestion was for my own peace of mind. ;)

~ So here I sit, typing away. Hoping that I will find something that will give me a swift kick in the butt and get me up and doing something...

Rain On Our Parade...

~ We're home. Got up this morning, rushed the kids around to get dressed and then off the doctors we went for Lauren & Brooke's four year old well visit... which we were slightly behind on, but hey at least they are still four!! ;) They each had to get three shots, yep THREE! ~ Needless to say, they were not too happy about it, but all in all did a good job!

~ Our plans were to hang out at the pool all day at my parents house, then have dinner and sleep over in the camper, but since it's raining we decided to just hang out at home, watch some movies and eat Skittles & Starbursts!! ~ Later we are going to eat when Bryan gets home, then head to Titi Desiree's house to see her and Ryan and her family before they leave for the DR on Thursday. ~ The kid were hoping to swim there, but once again, it's raining! :(

~ Thankfully it's just one day that it's raining on our parade of things to do, and hopefully the rest of the week will be all smiles N sunshine! :) ~

~ Off to take advantage of the weather, and do some house cleaning and fix the movie for the kids! ~

Summer time & the living is easy...

~ I love Summer time for many reasons. I'm really enjoying this Summer because the kids are growing so fast, I want to hold onto as much time with them as I possibly can and getting to spend every day, all day with them is good for my heart!

~ Speaking of Summer time & the living is easy... it's 10 minutes to 7 and the kids and I are about to go enjoy some cookout on the deck for dinner while Bryan is off fishing with some of his buddies! ~ the living sure is easy! ahhh... I think I might enjoy a nice cold beer with dinner tonight too!

~ Completely in-love with life right now!! ~ xoxo
