Stress - Life wouldn't be the same without it

Stress - who needs it! Not I, Not you, Not any sane person but then we all seem to have it ( If you don't are you really being honest with yourselves? ) It is how we live and work thru it that is the key.

I had a great birthday once it got going. It started with a bang! My X called and woke me up at 5am and got very pissy with me, not the best way to wake up! I managed to get the kids ready to go - dressed, fed, and snowsuited up without yelling then went out and the van wouldn't start!!!! I couldn't get the key to go all the way into the ignition. Ok now I'm stressed! I am not mechanicly inclined ( nor do I want to be! ) so at 7:15am I start calling people. Missed my first friend they had already left, My neighbor didn't answer their phone ( I only know 1 neighbor in this area ) Called my boss to let him know I would be late thought maybe I could convince him to come get us but he was at the gym so I woke his wife up. OK at this point I become female and start to cry. It was all to overwhelming to me. The kids of course are trying to calm me down and tell me it is OK which of course makes me feel like a heel. I try to explain that it is OK and this is just the way mommy deals with things. I manage to get another friend who is off for the day to come get us take the kids to daycare and drive me to work. He proceeds to go back to the house and with blowdryer in hand defrost the ignition and start the van. Thank God! Because I sure didn't have the money to get it towed to the dealership. My boss drove me into town at lunch to renew my drivers licence ( which I of course left till the last minute - not thinking I wouldn't have a van!!! ) My mom & dad sent money just to spend on me. One of my coworkers made cheesecake in my hounor and the rest of the day was great. By the way I am now 38. Not 29 and holding but a proud 38 - TWO MORE YEARS TILL DISNEY LAND!!!!

I promised the kid for my 40th birthday I would take them to Disney Land. Hopefully by then they will be tall enough for the rids and what a better way to spend a birthday! Yep I am a kid at heart! I have learned that you have to enjoy life to the fullest now! So between all the stress I try to have fun and enjoy things.

My X flew in and we picked him up from the airport. The kids are very HAPPY!!! They are having a great visit. Me - I'm enjoying the rest. I can go out at anytime do what ever I want and it is great. Just what I needed. It has been a bit hard too as he wants to get back together and I have said no. It has been a year and a half and I have changed too much and there is too much water under the bridge. He doesn't understand this but that is too bad. It is time to look after me! We will alwasy be a family - We have 3 kids we do not have a choice but we will live sepratly end of story.

Well I just talked to my mom who is still in the hospital. She is getting a little better. She is off the oxygen and walking with a walker and the infections are starting to clear up YEA!!!! She will probably be home this coming week.

I'm off the the gym! The boys are off rabbit hunting with their dad and Elizabeth has a birthday party so I am going running!!!! I can do about 5km at a time so slowly I am getting into shape! Now if I could just curtail my eating habits I might actually lose some weight!

Have a great day!

	SAAMwrote: I missed saying happy birthday to you. I havent been on Spaces as much since the New year. A 40th Disney Birthday will be fun. Why does the ex want to get back together? Sometimes I think men don't learn until after it is too late. Have a good day SAAM Jan. 23
	D.A.wrote: Wow I can certainly understand the frustrations. I like your blog you are so real. I have had so many days like that they do not even affect me so much anymore. Isn't that pathetic? I guess too many times of getting the shaft and you just get numb...oh well. I am glad that you are getting the chance to run. I just started the eating right thing and it is killing me. I feel like a drug addict needing the food. seriously it is that hard. I have not gone running, but hope to this spring. I have been doing sit-ups and leg lifts and side bends and walking our stairs ten times...the life we have to life to get into shape is pathetic. I like to blame food companys for making and or inventing all of this processed convienitent (spelling? sorry) food. Like yummy little debbies and cereals and cheesy bread and pastas and all of that comforting food that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and stress reduced inside (laughing) I think about you often and glad to stop in and read how things are going...take care Jan. 19
	Kimwrote: Okay talk about weight and stress. Stress is the reason we can't lose weight. I discovered this on Wednesday. I decided I was really going to watch what I ate and did a great job for a week and a half and then work stress, kid stress. I kept up with the excercises but the calming effect a bag of chips has on me is incredible. Hats off to you if you can curtail the eating habits and if you manage let me know the seceret pleeeaaassseee. Glad your mom is doing well. Also funny how when the X realizes finally what he had how they seem to want it back. Do what's right for you. Jan. 14
