On the Up

Monday was a     day
I started out the day doubting myself, and hoping I wouldn’t have one of my more serious anxiety attacks. I am almost surprised that something big didn’t happen. I had plans to take the kids with me to the “Y” so I could swim some laps, but Monster was extra crabby, and screechy, and just didn’t seem himself. I changed my plan to go after Husband got home, around 6:00, but uh-oh, last minute dinner with the in-laws. I swear that if they do bother to plan things in advance, they don’t tell us about it, or it is so crazy weird trying to accommodate every little thing, it is better to just get out of the way and hope you don’t get roped in too.

We went to Old Piper Inn, as usual, and spent a good long time there with the in-laws and SIL and BIL. Afterwards, all but BIL came over, FIL and Husband watched the season premier of Heroes, and MIL and SIL played with the kids and got them ready for bed. I on the other hand, went to escape the inevitable crazy, loud, chaotic back and forth. I took my laptop and went into my bedroom, closed the door and played some games. I was able to hide out the entire night, and was disturbed only to say goodnight to Daughter.

I went to bed feeling not too stressed, and not even thinking about Tuesday, and how difficult it may be. I am definitely doing better than the last three weeks, and it feels like things are on the up.
