Stressed out

Did you ever reach the point where you thought you were just gonna snap? Welp, I did today. I haven't been able to work out, my job is killing me, my kids are all sick at once and I just have had enough!! ARRGGGHHH My 14 year old has kidney stones, my 15 year old found out she was being deceived online by one of her so called friends...my job is like a tight wire now being that I might not have a job after January... Not that I can't find another one...but having that looming over my head all the time is just nuts. Calgon take me away.... Actually I feel more like this... So, I am taking a mental health week next week and I am gonna bust my a$$ in the gym. I am so looking forward to getting my head screwed back on and my workouts kicked up a notch. Every day baby, and maybe even some two a days. I want to be so sore I can't move! Man I need it. Ok, thanks for letting me get that outta my system. Have a great weekend guys! Val

Sorry to hear you are bummin. Sounds crazy for you now. I think that is an awesome idea, recharge the batteries for a week. Diesel roars again!!!

Thanks Mike. It's been rough, I mean, it could be worse, but you know it seems like a bunch of stuff hit at once. Well two glasses of white zinfandel later.... I watched Sideways tonight! MAN I HATED THE ENDING!!! I hate being left hanging like that! Curses! I wanted to see him get his woman! I LOVED the fact that for once there was full frontal male nudity! YES! Ok, I am a perv, can't help it. And he was actually big enough to see...woo hooo! It was a quirky little movie, but I did learn a few things about wines, and wine tasting. I know if I lived out there I would be a total drunk everyday! I love wine. I wish I had the opportunity to learn more about it. At any rate, yes the DIESEL will roar again! I have no doubt! Val

Awesome idea to take a week. You deserve it! I'm sure you will feel much better after. I find that bubble baths and movies are good quick fixer uppers for me. I do them at least once a week if not more. Sideways was a great movie. Pervs 'R Us Feel better

Yep that's me! I just got up and it's almost noon! WOO HOOO Great way to start my week off, and I am already feelin' better! Thanks! Val

Val, I know what you are talking about! I am so glad to be back at the gym. Friday we super set 3 different tricep. exercises and My arms are so sore I thought there was something wrong with me yesterday.....I was achy....and then I remembered....did some military presses behind the head.....achy shoulders too. I did do some legs and my workout partner told me that I am starting to get a little bit of a lift in the ol' back seat! Yeah! I thought I lost my butt for life. just the way the family traits go you know! working out has helped a great deal with my stress. You will feel like a new woman when you cannot sit on the toilet next week! It hurts soooo good! Tammy

Man, I will tell ya, I have really slept good the past two nights, knowing that I don't have to have work on my brain right now. It is giving me a chance to sort things out in my head, and when I work out I just don't think about anything. Today is lower body. I can't wait. That's my favorite to work. Yesterday, my oldest daughter was being nice and giving mommy a great back scratch and putting lotion on and said something to the effect of "Your back is getting huge mom! You are starting to look like a body builder!" WOW I have only dreamed of hearing that... ...then later on when Earl was working out, I was admiring my back side in one of the mirrors (yep I have flat butt syndrome too) and he said that I was getting s nice butt, and that I have really been redistributing my muscle mass and weight, and that it was definately obvious, and commended me over my 3 lb muscle mass gain.... Man, my ego was stroked a bunch yesterday and I likey likey I needed this week. I needed to get sore in the gym, and to clean out all the stress stuff in my head. I am feeling much better than I did friday that's for sure. Tweakin' the meds a little has helped too. I am sleeping much better and feeling rested in the morning...haven't experienced that for a long time it seems. Now I just have to get my baby girl feeling better. HUGS! Val

I pray she feels better. It really sucks when you are feeling bad but it is worse when your kids are sick! hope thing are going to turn around soon! Tammy

Thanks! She was having a lot of pain last night, but so far today, she has none...so I am hoping...hoping... that the nasty thing found it's way out. I talked to her about praying and the power of positive thinking last night. I think it may have helped! She asked me when we were going shopping today...that's ALWAYS a good sign! Val
