| Stressed is Desserts spelled backward |

[i][b]Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.
~ Unknown[/b][/i]
I took a week off from blogging and writing in my journal at home. In the last two weeks I have let stress completely take over. Normally I am pretty laid back, just going with the flow knowing that what ever problems come up will be resolved eventually. Or, if the stress gets to be too bad, I snap at everyone I come into contact with, bitch aloud to anyone who will listen, have a bottle of wine and know that the problems will be resolved eventually. The past two weeks however, have been unusually hard to deal with. I think maybe because it all hit at once. I usually like my problems spread out.
[i]My last couple weeks in a nutshell:
~My love and I decided to sell our house , so we put our house on the market.
-we love the house, it's our perfect house, however, it's really bigger than we need and the monthly payment is killing us.
~My love, my girls (the Teen Queen and the Drama Queen) are looking at replacement homes
-so far we have looked at over 30 houses, it is to the point where we can tell who the builder is, what year it was built, what the floor plan is and how big the basement is just by driving into the driveway
~My parents and sisters quit talking to me
-other than always being the odd one out, I am not sure why this happened. I said something that may have pissed off my father, but it is so stupid that I can't believe it would piss anyone else off. Besides, they have never taken me too seriously before, why start now?
~My youngest, the Drama Queen started back to school
-not only did we have to buy $100 in school supplies, $200 in new school clothes, but we also had to pay $50 to the school for book fees, calendars, calculators, etc. And to think we passed up private school because we couldn't afford it. I am beginning to understand the home schooling better and better.
~My oldest, the Teen Queen registered for her upcoming year in highschool. I can't believe she is a junior!!! (that thought alone took 3 glasses of wine :lol: )
-Cost: $45 school pictures, $50 parking pass, $125 yearbook, activity pass, and book fees. And we haven't shopped for school supplies yet!
~My love's birthday
-normally I am awesome at birthday presents and parties. This year, I choked. I invited both our families and a couple of friends over for his favorite dinner, italian sausage and peppers, and thought I could handle it as I have in the past. Nope, my family was barely speaking to me, I couldn't get my love's family to shut up, the icecream cake didn't fit in the freezer and proceeded to melt at record breaking speeds, the only movies my love asked for on DVD were nowhere to be found and I was so hung over from the night before that I could barely drink a martini or a glass of wine. barely :D
~My parents' cat (my cat's brother) was eaten by a fox.
-he was more than just my parents cat, he was everyone's cat. He was so friendly that the entire neighbor hood was out looking for him. He used to go to different neighbors' houses at different times of the day and they would feed him, play with him, sit with him depending on who he was visiting. What's really sad is that my mother is not a pet person, but she loved Tucker and has been so down since he's been gone. It's just sad.
~I lost my sex drive
-I'm not sure why I let this bother me so much, but if I am not having sex, then I am overeating and now my pants are tight. Damn it!! [/i]
Now, taken one at a time, it seems stupid that I would let these things overwhelm me, however, this all happened within a week, one right after the other. I think I just got to the point where I just shut down. I am doing better, and am not stressed out anymore. But, we are going back to my hometown the middle of this week and I am just not looking forward to it. One, it is way to hot and humid in the midwest right now and two, my whole family is going to be there, and that is just a lot to deal with. I have stocked up on my Grey Goose Vodka and some stellar Pinot Noir, so I plan to be just fine back there. I'll keep you posted :D

Keep your sense of humour hun. There's enough stress in the rest of your life to let that go...and talking abt desserts.. we don't get ulcers from what we eat. We get them from what's eating us. Loadsa hugs sweetie :-*
