Night Elf Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I've been making some stupid mistakes today, including one that almost caused a car accident. I think I got up on the wrong side of the bed. I'm glad I'm not cooking tonight. I'd probably burn myself on the stove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 When I (or my dc) have a day like this we loudly pronounce, "Starting the day over now!" and then we proceed as if it is a new day. I hope you start your day over too. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Can you declare it a day off and settle in with a good book and chocolate? We "start days over" when necessary too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: Are you feeling very distracted? Overly tired? I like the start over suggestion. Declare you are starting the day over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 I was going to go out again this afternoon but I decided against it. It can keep until tomorrow. So I'm able to relax at home until I have to go pick up the pizza for dinner at 5:00pm. I'm just going to lay here and read! Maybe have another cup of coffee. Both dd18 and I are carrying stress leading up to her moving to college in less than two weeks. I'm trying not to freak out but it's just so different. I'm a worrier by nature. I'm a nervous wreck about this whole experience. She's scared because it's all so new and overwhelming. We're trying to be excited about all the shopping we have to do but it isn't helping. Instead her pile is growing larger and we're wondering how she's going to fit it all into half a room! haha. So yeah, I need to find a way to relax. I'm going to have to become an overly cautious driver for a while and give everyone a wide berth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'm finding I get overwhelmed much easier than I used to, and when I do I really need to take it easy in order to regain my balance. That might mean taking the day off, or it might mean going about an abbreviated list really, intentionally slowly. It sounds like you are under a lot of stress. I'm glad you can take it easy today. Naps are good, too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Χά�ων Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I just went back to bed. My stress is too high and I am very upset and hurt by the actions of one person and how they manage to have family make excuses to explain their actions. Pursuing the issue will cause more stress and make life hell for someone I love deeply. I am opting to take the high road and have put in place boundaries and limits to prevent further harm from the person. I am still very angry at the entire situation and I have a strong desire to pursue all legal recourses available to me and take them to the cleaners.

Not asking you to share details, just making sure you are safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Χά�ων Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Are you okay? Not asking you to share details, just making sure you are safe. I, and my family, are safe, there is nothing physical or any threat to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry. :grouphug: That does indeed sound rough. I hope your day gets better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
