SCARED~

Have you ever been scared?

I mean really scared. Not from a movie, not from someone saying BOO.

I mean really really scared.

I was today.

This past week was an overloaded heck of a week for me. I seriously have had about 10 hours of sleep in 6 days. I have been burning the candle at both ends (THERE IS NO MORE CANDLE I WAS TOLD TODAY) getting fevers to go away, running errands, working out, grocery shopping, planning, cleaning, organizing, preparing for trips, itemizing..you know, being a mom and wife...... the list is seriously endless....... and it finally caught up with me and I ended up in the emergency room all day today. I was seriously scared. I know I am not invincible.... I learned that the hard way 6 years ago... apparently I forgot and had to be told to slow the heck down by two Emergency Room Doctors.

It is kinda scary to think that I am lying on this little gurney and the only things that are racing through my head are: Is my life insurance policy ok? Will anyone know when to pay the tags on my wonderful excursion?.. and Tommy better not sell it.. ... Jax has a book report and project due Friday, How will he get that done? Brinkley has art class... who will bring her home? Tommy .. I don't think he is in the mood to do any wife shopping so who will take care of that boy? and Pudgie has to start his speech stuff sometime soon. Who is going to coordinate all of this? and how in the world did I end up here? (Although Gilbert Mercy is an awesome hospital.)

Luckily for me, everything was fine. I am suffering from exhaustion and the possibility of a virus trying to settle in my chest walls. I guess that means I have a good immune system that is fighting it off..... So for this week I have been told:

NO GYM... GREAT.... I have no idea what to do with myself now...
RELAX.... RIGHT I have four children to care for. Yes Tommy, you are included in that mix.....
SLEEP...hmmm... I wonder what that is?
SLOW DOWN...... I have already started to go stir crazy.


I swear, God seriously picks some scary ways to slow me down and take a breath. (Seriously Scary and EXPENSIVE!)


I think I am gonna try YOGA....
