We plan to stain the deck and paint the front door. I am going to take maddie to a movie, a little splash park I found, skating for family fun night tomorrow, and picnic lunch at the park - no specific order just at least one fun thing each day that is relatively inexpensive. Chores include grocery shopping, hardware store, laundry and more cleaning/organizing.
we just decided to go to my parents for the weekend, they live near a small amusement park, it's free admission you just have to pay for rides, etc so that works and won't end up costing too much. I am sure it will be mobbed but we decided we wanted to get out of the "city" and enjoy some time with my mom before round 2 of chemo starts back up next week. I am looking forward to it!
I feel like we are planning something for Saturday, but I couldn't tell you what! Sunday we're going to see if some friends want to come over for dinner. Monday night I'm meeting the girls from the bridal shop for a "good bye" dinner! I'm so sad to leave them! But I have to jump at the chance I've been given to NOT work retail until I'm 75...
I have Friday off now because my mom is sick and can't watch the girls. It is suppose to be hot! So either swimming or splash pad. Dinner at the beach.
Saturday I have to work all day.
Sunday Miranda is going horseback riding for the first time. Good friends of the family own a horse ranch so it should be fun.
Monday no clue...I do have to work at night.

No plans here other than clean my house and believe me it needs it. If I can get the motivation together I may work on getting our basement cleaned up....once again. I feel like I am constantly saving stuff. Addy's clothes for Kate, now Kate's clothes for Peyton....baby toys for Peyton...but the issue is we are OUT OF ROOM and nothing is organized. I have over 15 large rubbermaid tubs full of clothes for the girls and I need to get them moved to the shed and out of the basement. I also have a good 6 trashbags worth of stuff all ready to go to Goodwill. I just need to make the drive to drop it off.
It's my 30th birthday tomorrow! We're heading to the beach with my MIL. Some friends of ours will be at the same beach so we'll probably hang out with them some too. We'll stay until Tuesday afternoon. I am looking forward to it
I'm hoping I can snap out of this funk. My anxiety has been horrendous the last few days. Like a notch down from panic attack level. I was driving to my brother's house today and almost had to pull over. I'm crying right now for no reason in particular.
We need to get the deck and garage doors painted. We were supposed to do it a few weeks ago, but it rained. I also have a gallon of blackberries and a bushel of apples for canning. I did a batch of apple jelly already.
Friday Ryan and I took off and we spent sometime together.
Saturday, going swimming at my brother apartment
Sun/mon we are spending the night in Austin with the boys. mon we are going to salt lick BBQ place with some friends.

What's going on Shannon? You ok?
I have had anxiety pretty bad the past year, worse than usual. I make these big plans in my mind or set out to do something and get horribly anxious about it when it comes time to follow through and end up backing out. Between that and my health issues, my distorted body image and weight gain (+10lbs since surgery) I wonder if I should be on some kind of antidepressant or something. It's so bad I put off taking her to Soccer having DH do it the first 3 weeks, when I did have to take her last week I kept thinking of ways to get out of it, even hoping that it rained. It ended up being fun. Right now I'm freaking out about taking her to a water park b/c I'm not sure how/where to store my phone, keys and wallet while helping her in the water (DH is sleeping in and then working on the deck so I'm taking her alone - plus he hates the sun and water).
Nothing, DH is working this weekend. I have to meet someone at school to give them their registration packet; people keep dropping out and school hasn't even started yet!
I know what you ladies are going through, I have anxiety too. I hate going anywhere new; thinking about where I'm going to park and stuff makes me not want to go.
I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder when I was 13. I go through phases with it. It's not a situational thing; its not that certains things make me nervous. When my GAD gets bad (like it is now), I have nonstop anxiety. I get heart palpitations and nausea, I can't focus, I feel like I'm going crazy. I can't sleep well, I can't think straight. It's terrible. Sometimes I'm like this a few days, sometimes it's weeks. It's been years since I've been this bad.
Yikes. I'm suffering from high blood pressure since the thyroid storm. I'm on meds for it but it's not until i can hear my resting heart rate thumping in my ears that I realize it's affecting me. I wonder how much it has to do with the fatigue, anxiety, and other issues I'm having. My aunt says to see a cardiologist, others say endo, others say my obgyn. At this point I'm so tired of DR's I'd rather just hide out and wait and see.
