Blah.
That’s how I’ve been feeling. I’ve had an upset stomach since Friday. Which, in turn, means that I haven’t been to the gym since Wednesday. That sickens me even more.
I think that the stress of having two parties for Jada’s birthday and Christmas coming up, is causing my nerves to be just shot. It seems like the time and money are going away faster than I can go. I will pull it off, I always do but I hate when it comes down to the wire and I am running around like a madwoman to get things done. I do that way too often!
Oh well. Moving on. Saturday was Jada’s “friend” birthday party. She invited five girls, four of which made it, to lunch at CiCi’s pizza and then to a movie. The girls were all very excited and had a bunch of fun. I could tell that Jada was happy and excited so I was happy. We saw BOLT! in 3D. I’ve never seen a movie in 3D so it was really cool. I wanted to see Madagascar 2 but I we took a vote and the 3D won. Oh well, we might take the kids this week to go see Madagascar. Chuckie and I were the only two who voted for that one.
Yesterday was Jada’s “family” party. We had a Steelers/Birthday party. We did gifts and cake during halftime. It worked out well. We have done parties for the kids in the past when we do the birthday thing before a game then have everyone just stay for the game but that makes for a long day so we went for halftime and it was a good idea.
Jada is happy because she ended up getting some of the things that she really wanted, some things that she really likes and $44 and $15 gift card for Toys R Us.
I’m hoping that this week proves to lighten my stress and we can finish up the Christmas shopping. On Thursday, I have my work dinner out with all the girls and we do a gift exchange. I have one lady and she has me. The same thing happened last year with her sister and I. I hope that for those few hours, I will be able to relax and not think about all the things that need done.
After reading through this post, I think I may need to start back on my meds! I think the added stress of the season is kicking my anxiety into overdrive. Hmmm…maybe I’ll have to start tonight.
