Feeling anxious tonight

Sat, 11-25-2006 - 4:31pm

Okay, it's been a good couple days. Today was quiet. DH took DD out to the park and to run errands so I could work on this massive amount of homework. (that I'm starting to stew over).

I started on studying Intermediate Algebra for my make-up exam on Monday. I made it through two chapters before they got home. DD is tired and cranky. DH is tired and no longer much help (although he did a lot today, can't complain).

But now everyone is just hanging out being cranky & restless. I had to stop doing my math and take care of DD. Suddenly I'm tired, wired and competely on edge. I'm worrying about getting all my school stuff done and don't have any patience with all the whining around here (including mine! LOL)

I'm getting a headache and just wish I could be alone again! I hate feeling so jittery and irritable.

Well, I'm off to face the family. Wish me luck.

(((Dee))) You have been through alot recently. You also have so much on your plate, that I'm a little worried. After dh's hospitalization, you still went through with Thanksgiving dinner. I admire you for that.


Don't forget about YOU, gf. Take it slow & easy. Don't be so hard on yourself. We are often our own worst enemies. I wish you lot's of luck & sending some P&PT's your way. jan

I know the feeling of being overwhelmed. It is really hard to take courses and be a mom and wife and housekeeper. Algebra is especially tricky as you need to be able to concentrate.

You have a sense of humour though which is great.

Hope you made it through ok.

I was reading thru some message boards and one person takes 5 htp which I am going to look up. I also take B-50 which is 50 mgs of each B vitamin which helps.

My dd is still sleeping-12 hours-which is good because a good sleep means less anxiety. She had a sleep over so is catching up. So there shouldn't be a fight to finish the homework today.

Take care, Arden

Hi Jan,

I wrote a response to you earlier and the computer ate it! Arghhh...

But thanks for the support & you're right about my being overloaded...I just don't feel like I can do much about it now. End of the semester crunch. ;)

It really helps to be able to talk with you guys.

Smiles,
Dee

Hi Sheri Ann,

Finally finished the math, now just have my two written assignments to finish tonight & in the morning.

DD's curled up on the couch watching "Cats & Dogs", when it finishes, I'm going to try and tuck her in.

Smiles,
Dee

Women are notorious for putting others first & neglecting themselves. We all have to find that happy balance between work & play. Good luck in finding it, Dee! Drop what you can. Work with what you can't. KWIM? (((hugs))) jan
