Ohhhh last night was a VERY stressful one. 

Let’s see, my son had football practice at 5:30, daughter softball game in another town at the same time….so my parents were coming over to take my son.  Well he could not find his girdle.  I tore that house apart having to hear crying child the whole time…..grates on the nerves!  Finally I started calling anyone I could think of to see if they had one…no dice.  Now mind you, I am in the middle of renovating my living room too, so everything is a mess….not organized caos like I am used to…just a mess.  So now my parents are over and they are trying to help me look…I am EMBARASSED!!!  It was such a mess.  With my doing the living room I will admit, every other chore is to the wayside.  So now I leave and take my son to the football field to see if I can’t find a girdle…his coach says he will take care of it.  Oh yeah…during that time since I figured I would have to deal with football equipment guy, I call a friend to pick up daughter since they are going to the field too.  So now I leave son at field, my parents go there, I run to other town for softball.  Because it was a tie, they decided to play the extra innings.  So now I have my parents and son waiting at the house for me….they ordered pizza….sitting on the pack porch because there is noplace to sit in the house that is not covered in dust from my sanding!  By the time I leave the field I am feeling stressed to the max and all I could think about was how good something chocolate would taste right now.  BUT I DID NOT STOP!  Straight home I went.  Then I was thinking how good some greasy pizza would taste……NO.  Instead I opted for some leftover pork loin and some broccoli.

Oh yeah….in the middle of all that caos, my hubby calls me.  He is on the road working 12 hour night shifts for another  1 1/2  weeks and has been gone almost 2 weeks.  I get to hear from him on how I should have let him do the living room and that I should never have pulled up the carpet, what was I thinking, yadda yadda yadda.  I remained calm, which was unbelievable and I told him that I wanted to do this project.  I did not want to wait for him to do it.  He is gone 7 months out of the year.  I did not add that anytime I do have something for him to do, it does not get done or he only does it halfway and then he has to leave for the road.

OK…..so I did not eat over the stress. Today should be another ball of fun…..no school for the kids, so drop them at the Y, physical therapy, work, pick up kids, get them packed to go to my parents overnight, parent teacher conference, drop son at football practice, 2 more parent teacher conferences, run the kids to my parents, then back home.  I am tired just reading this!
