my stomach drops

Hey all,

How are you all doing? Hopefully, everyone is doing well. My life has been so crazy lately. I am wondering if anyone could help me out. My little one has had a tummy virus for a week now. My oldest had it for one day, yesturday, and he is fine now. He went to school today, and he is fine. My oldest son is supposed to go to his friends house tomorrow. My girlfriend called and asked me if Zach was ok and I said he was fine, but the little one still had the virus. I didn't tell her that Zach had been sick on Sunday. I called her right back and decided that she should know that he had a little something, and that she should know all the facts to decide if she wants Zach over.

The long and short of it is that she was fine, and my son is still going over to the playdate. My stomach dropped when she called me. I was so worried that she was mad, or that she was going to cancel. She has every right to do that, too. I would want to know if someone's kid was sick, also. She just wanted to be sure no one was throwing up. I jsut read everyones tone the wrong way, and automatically assume that someone doesn't like me or is mad at me or doesn't want to be my friend.

I know I did nothing wrong, and I was upfront and honest. I still felt like I she thought I was lying. I am just now coming down from the anxiety of it all. Thank you all for letting me vent. The sad part of it all is that my husband is downstairs, and I could never talk to him about this stuff. He thinks I am nuts!

By the way, does anyone do scrapbooking? Lots of love, JD

You did nothing wrong & you weren't lying to your friend. Try hard to let this go. For some reason anxiety sufferers have a difficult time doing this. I know you will be ok. Good luck!


Here's the scrapbooking board that some others I know visit. I have never gotten involved in it, as

I spent over $200 on scrapbooking papers and trinkets & they, too, are stacked in my closet! How I wish I'd make the time to use them!

I think your honesty with your your friend is to be applauded, I'm sure she appreciates it as well :)

HI Jan,

Thank you so much for always putting things into perspective for me. I really appreciate it. Sometimes I feel like I am going crazy! with anxiety. It controls me, and I wish I had the ability to control it! I am trying. Thanks again for being a support for me, a total stranger. You are a good person. Jolie
