Update + Anxiety

Graduation was great on Friday. I received my diploma and my girls were able to attend. I could hear them screaming when my name was called and it was a good feeling!

And now I am coming down and it is not good. The anxiety is choking me, I can hardly breathe. I don't think it has really occured to me that I am done with school yet but my subconscious knows and its coming out! I am overtired and have a lot of new things ahead, plus a lot of laundry and chores awaiting me. Spring cleaning is overdue!

Today I got an iPod Nano for a graduation gift and it was frustrating me to no end! I couldn't get it all figured out and it was contributing to the anxiety, then I thought I messed up my internet and it really scared me!

I need to pull myself together or the depression will start in. I know my patterns and it is hovering along with the anxiety. How can I motivate myself and stay on track??

Tomorrow is mothers day! My girls took their loose change to the bank this morning to get me a gift...it was so sweet. I'll let you know what I get after I open it!

Lisa congratulations on your graduation I know your girls were very proud of their mom and just think of the wonderful role model you've been to them. Before you know it you'll be out there putting all your hard work into being the best nurse around.

It's so sweet your girls put their change together to get you a Mothers Day gift looking forward to hearing what they came up with to get you. I'm kind of hoping to just get a call from my daughter. I've already called my mom and we were on the phone forever. I miss my family but in my heart I know they are always with me.

Happy Mothers Day

Uh oh! Reality is setting in. Grr... I am sorry you're feeling this way, Lisa. Be kind to yourself & take an extra nap. Those 40 winks will give you the refreshment you need to face your future. Take a walk. I know you're short of funds, but maybe you could buy some boxes of nice facial tissues(puffs, kleenex)

Thanks Keitha! It's nice you got to talk to your mom today, mine worked all morning then left town to see her mother.

My girls cashed in their pennies and got me some chocolate candies, a notebook, and a magazine! I think they did a good job and it was sweet they used their own money!!

Thanks Jan,

It is all overwhelming! I just feel like I don't know what to do first. I plan to *try* and enjoy the rest of the weekend then Monday will start planning things out.

Happy Mother's Day,
Lisa

Well the girls woke me up before I wanted to face the day. The worst part of that was they woke me from a dream and it was a good one...LOL. Wanted to see where it was going! The little buggers! I plan to take the rest of the weekend off and start in on the important stuff on Monday!
