My mom's birthday is Tuesday so I decided we should get away for the weekend. I rented a condo at the beach. Well, I was very very rushed to get there Friday evening because I wasn't home Thursday night to pack & had to work Friday until 4, so by the time we left to go to the beach it was like 7pm and we could have checked in at 3. By that time I was exhausted & let my mom drive down there. I thought I was gonna have a panic attack on the way because my daughter & my 10 year old sister were fussing the whole way. I controlled it though. When we got there, I pretty much just got settled in and went to sleep. Then, Saturday, I have a major headache from my sinuses & I dealt with that off & on. It was really crazy but as long as I was outside, I felt ok. Every time we went back in the condo, I felt bad again and just felt like laying down. Well, a guy that I've been seeing rode down there Saturday, so Saturday night, we got out and walked on the beach for a while, and I felt totally fine. Anyway....

So, yesterday when I got back home & unpacked, I had to bake a cake for a customer. I didn't think I could get it done. I felt like I could just lay my head on the kitchen counter & fall asleep....& I was dizzy feeling also...I finished the cake around 8pm and by then it was time to get my daughter back from her dad's house. I barely got her a bath & got her to bed before I crashed! And when I woke up this morning, I felt like I needed a few more hours of sleep! When I get home from work today, I have to bake my mom a cake. I also have a cake to bake tomorrow night, Thursday night, AND Friday night. This is gonna be a busy busy week! AND the guy that I've been seeing has his son all week this week, so they will probably be coming over right much. His son is 3, so when he and my daughter get together, it gets a little loud in the house, which I'm not really that used to! Okay I will get through this!!!! Just HAD to vent!!

Sounds like you didn't get the R&R that you deserved. Somehow you need to carve out some time for yourself. Do something that relaxes or pleases you. That is so important for busy women. Be kind to YOU this week. Hope it all works out. (((hugs))) jan
