We spent a few wonderful days in Nashville hanging out with friends and family -- well the girls and I got to relax, Kevin went to meetings most of the time. We were able to see some family that were there for the convention as well.
The girls loved getting better acquainted with Uncle Bryant.
Then it was hurry home and get everything ready for school to start on the following Monday. H started 4th grade -- she has the same teacher as last year. R was a little more nervous, the 7th and 8th grade room has a new teacher. Plus moving up into a new classroom, even if you know the teacher is a little nerve-wracking -- at least for her. Any new experience causes anxiety.
All ready for the 4th grade.
Trying to be silly to stop all the picture taking.
I was busy with meetings and such the first couple of days as well, and then all the nonsense started.
UGH.....
There are some days that I can say I don't feel well and can describe it -- I either have a headache, my joints hurt or something else that I can put a name to. The last two days have been a frustrating mess. I can only say "I don't feel good." I have all of the above symptoms, but it's so much more than that.... Just to "BE" hurts -- I want to hit the pause button until all feels better.
It's like I'm at the point where one more thing just tips the scales. Putting clothes on, covering up with blankets, making a single movement, the list goes on and on.....Even trying to get the brain to think -- it's all so discouraging. Mostly because there is nothing that I can do about it, except wait it out...
Problem is -- I can't just wait it out. I have two little girls that still need a functioning Mommy. They are somewhat self-sufficient, but they are still little ones that need mommy. And then there's all the house stuff -- I feel guilty asking K to take even more on, especially this time of year, he's so stressed with school stuff.
So I just hang out and do what's absolutely necessary and hope that this bout goes quickly.
