after work

I was so frustrated after work today I had an anxiety attack! ( I was not upset over anything that happened at work just some "personal" stuff that was stressing me out and hurt my feelings) Anyhow, that had never really happened to me before. It was like needles pushing into the back of my throat and there was nothing I could do to make it stop. I was coughing and my eyes were watering and it hurt really bad. Yuck! I hope this does not become a pattern!

This week is a stressful one for sure. It is the Next Gen conference mon-wed. Which means I will be working 12 hour days AND skipping my days off this week. I also have to prepare for the Promiseland Conf. Which includes having my stage layouts done by Thursday. Stage layouts I make on a program I barely understand, Visio. Also, I have to prep for my weekend( the "real" part of my job). Emily is having her surgery Tuesday and I really wanted to visit her and Crystal at the hospital. Noah is leaving between now and Friday. I HAD hoped to send him a "pre" care package before he left but there is NO time to put one together and make it to the post office to overnight it.

UGGHHH...could this explain the anxiety attack...no, it was actually something else! But, I can see more coming!

Oh. My point! My point was....after work in an effort to distract myself from my self pity and anxiety we took Malachy to Chuck E Cheese's (where a kid can be a kid). Kim, Mark, and Dad joined in on the fun. We got a little more "fun" then we bargined for. The place was packed and pretty crazy. It was a good time though. Malachy enjoyed some pizza and all the "rides". Here are some pictures:

So sorry about your super stressed out day. I'm glad that you got to have fun with your family though at the end of the day.

I know you really want to be there for me and Emily when we are in the hospital and I really want you to be there too. But please do not stress about it. I want you to take that off your list of worries right now. I would LOVE it for you to come and spend time with me after we get home and you have the time to actually enjoy a visit with us.

As for not having time to send Noah a care package you really do have plenty of time for that. He already gets that awesome stuff from your parents and I am sure Lauren is making sure he has one heck of a care package. Plus you can always send one later because from what I hear these men serving our country love to get stuff all the time so later is good too. Oh and I heard it's good to send them cigarettes because then they can trade them or sell them for money. That's just what I heard.

OK well I love ya and I hope you have a better day tomorrow hangin' out with Third Day!! LUCKY!!!

Sorry Lauren the cigarettes weren't supposed to be for Noah to smoke but I understand that you would be afraid he would smoke them. Sorry.

Lauren you are probably talking to someone who hates smoking almost as much as you do. Almost my whole family smokes and it really comes between us sometimes.

I was only trying to be supportive and helpful.

I'm glad that you don't really want to hunt anyone for sport though.
