Is anyone else having a way emotional summer? Is my life as crazy as everyone else's and should I just learn to deal or is it a little over the top? Here's what's happened to me/my family in the last 6-8 weeks. 1) The Associate Pastor of our church left. She was my safe emotional haven and spiritual guide. I helped put together her going away reception. 2) The Children's Music Director at our church left (she and the kids put on a musical and my kids both had fairly major parts) and I helped plan her going away party. 3) Evan has been going to swim practice every day adn sometimes 2x/day. He had some great times and was close to going to state championships. His last chance to qualify the meet was cancelled (due to thunderstorms and lightening) the event before his chance to do so. 4) The same day as that meet, dh left for Ethopia for 3 weeks. 5) Some close friends of the family are moving to Scarsdale and leaving next Thursday. We're supposed to take their fish. 5) Just when we all got used to the idea that Evan wasn't going to the campionship meet and started to paint his room the coach called today and said that the 4 10 yo boys had qualified as a relay and asked if we were interested in going - ummm, of course. He's calling the other boys to see if they are interested. Now we have to finish painting and get Evan's room back in order by Wednesday night so we can leave Thursday if the other boys decide to go. 6) Evan is leaving for camp for 3 weeks on Sunday (the day after we would get back from the championship meet) so he needs to be packed before we leave. 7) The kids and I had a major "episode" Thursday night and were up past 12:00. I was at a Harry Potter bookstore event until after 1:00 a.m. last night. I AM JUST PLAIN SPENT EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY, AND MENTALLY and I still have 2 1/2 weeks alone with the kids! Poor Megan is getting left in the dust... We're painting Evan's room, Evan had the big meet last week, Evan and I went to the Harry Potter event, Evan may be going to the championship meet, etc. I've been trying to think of ways to let her do special things but I just can't find enough hours in the day! AAAAAAAHHHHH!
Is this nuts!!! Should I just be quiet, quit complaining and suck it up or is this grounds for insanity?

Girl it is called STRESS and ANXIETY!
