I am completely surprised that I haven't stroked out this week. It's been that bad on the blood pressure scale. When the stress hits the fan like it has this week, I often think, thank GOD I don't have a full time job on top of my at home status. I don't think I could do it without some serious uppers or drugs of some kind. I don't know how my friends DO it that are Moms and Full Time Employees. My hat's off to you ladies!
The most baffling thing about the week is why it takes two weeks worth of work to go out of town for one week. We're going to Branson on Monday and I seriously have nothing packed. So what the heck have I been doing?
Well, on top of trying to keep the house up so my brother can stay here while were gone and not think he's staying in a pig sty, I am trying to get laundry done and caught up, sheets changed, towels cleaned, shopping done, and cart kids to Girl Scout Camp, Swim Lessons, Dance Lessons, and Recital Rehearsals. It's been ridiculous.
Then, tonight, the melt down I've been waiting for happened. Quinn finally broke down into a complete nervous mess about the recital tomorrow. She did fantabulous at rehearsal today and I couldn't have been prouder. But, seriously, at this point, it might be the last time I see her on stage. She is so worked up over it, she's trying to throw up. I am playing it cool, telling her how great she did today. We practiced again tonight, she did great! I showed her the video from rehearsal - she did great! She says there is going to be so many people and they are going to laugh at her. No matter what I say, it only adds fuel to her hysterical fire, so I am trying to just get her to sleep Praying and hoping tomorrow's a new day and a better one with her nerves. Truthfully, though, I think my odds are 50% that she will take the stage.
God help us!
