I am off to the mall to find a wedding gift for our friends..
I am NOT happy about this at all!!!
I decided to shower and put on some makeup and actually do something with my hair, that way if I feel good about myself it may make it easier... who knows.. worth a try...
My biggest fear is that I will be out alone with my Boys and that nasty unreal feeling will hit and I'll go crazy with the Boys with me.
I told me therapist this and she was understanding, she said that maternal instinct would kick in and allow me to get us home safely.. I HOPE she's right...
Talk to you all later...!
Heather

Just my luck!!
We go to the mall and I was doing pretty good, I was in Things Remembered and I was picking out some gifts, then all if a sudden the lights shut off. The whole mall went dark... it last about 2 minutes and I had to keep telling myself to stay calm. SO I made it through that... my hands were a bit numb but I was ok.

Then the Boys had to go to the bathroom so I take them down the LONG hallway and we go in, just then my best friend call so while we were in the stall I was talking to her for a sec... then the lights went out again BUT this time their was not a spec. of light. NOTHING.. it was pitch black. I grabbed my Boys hands and stood still. I was still on the phone with my best friend and she was talking to calm me down. I have a keychain from Weight Watchers that has a light on it and luckily my best friend reminded me of this, so we were starting to find our way down the hallway and their was some sunlight showing through, then the back up lights came on.
Well I got out of there fast, in my anxious mind I was thinking that it was terrorists of someone trying to hurt people.
Anyway I am home now and happy to be here!!!
What a day!!!

Way to go, Heather! That sounded like a xtremely stressful situation, on top of a stressful situation to begin with,and you handled it wonderfully! You should be very proud. (That flashlight idea really came in handy,reminded me that I have a light inside my cell, in case I ever get in that unfortunate and kinda scary situation!)
hugs, shasta

Heather, I'm so proud of you! I would have freaked out! Talking on the cell phone does keep me calm, I think I'm going to look for a little flashlight for my keychain. You just never know. I got stuck in an elevator at the mall once, took me years to ride in one again!
