What a week this has been! I have been sick for the last 5 days with the stomach stuff going around. I thought I was never going to get better! I went through the pepto like crazy this week. My mother-in-law ended up in the hospital because her sodium levels got so low it was dangerous. Now my five year old son has been up for the last two nights with a horrible cough. He grabbed his chest last night and said it hurt when he would breathe in or cough. I seriously believe that when it rains it pours! I sure hope this next week goes a little smoother. I feel like I am so behind on school work so that is a little stressful too. Not to mention, I really hope these spring storms are over soon. I am terrified of them. That is probably an understatement. I don’t have a basement so when it is going to be bad overnight I pack up my family and stay at my sister-in-laws house because she has a huge basement at her house. I love it! I hate that I am so afraid I have to disrupt everyone but it sure does help to stay at a place that I feel safe. I have always been afraid of storms but it got really bad when I was in the tornado back in 2001. It was horribly scary. To see what a tornado can really do is heart wrenching. Now that I have children, I worry so badly about them too. I need to relax a little because it is awful how scared I get. My oldest son has to take care of me! I know that sounds so bad but I literally get in a panic mode and lose track of everything. I need help! Ha ha. My poor kids. My family is always telling me that I need to go to the doctor and try to get something to help calm my nerves when it is going to storm. I don’t know what else to do. I wish I could just tell myself to chill out but that doesn’t seem to work. If I could make myself not get that way, believe me I would. It is not a good feeling, especially when you have two little boys to take care of. I have made my youngest scared to death of storms. That makes me so sad for him. I am lucky that my 9 year old takes after his dad and isn’t scared at all. He is so calm. I haven’t traumatized him. Thank goodness. It isn’t a good feeling to know that probably a huge reason your youngest child is so scared is because his mom makes him that way. If anyone has some good advice I’d love to hear it. I’m up for trying anything!
