Oops, Oops and more Oops....

I think I boo-boo'd, and if I do, my apologies to my BLC team. I am so mixed up lately... I think I missed the first actual weigh-in for the new challenge.. hoping I didn't, but think I did. I'm so sorry, and I promise I will be there next week. I'm even leaving a post-it note on my computer to remind me. I'm usually pretty good about remembering the challenges too. Yikes.

It's been kinda stressful here - finances, daily life, kids going back to school this coming Tuesday and not having enough $$ to even get them school supplies, worrying about whether they will continue Kris' disability or deny him (which means we will be out about $500/month), wondering how we are going to manage and keep our heads above water (we're drowning right now - throw me a life saver someone??), and Kris saw his specialist - gastroenterologist - this past week and they are trying him on yet a new medication (hoping it helps). Wes and I had a very "heated argument" about 2 weeks ago because the tension has just gotten so bad. He hasn't heard about his disability except a short 'form type' letter from the lawyer saying that the papers for the appeal are being submitted and it could be several months to 2 years before we hear anything... ARGH!!! How much stress is one person suppose to take?

I have been retreating to my email, my PSP (paint shop pro), only talking to a couple of friends and playing video games as a way of escaping reality AND the stress. Nothing like killing a few "mobs" (monsters) in a game to help relieve some stress. I can think of a few other things, however... well that issue just adds more stress, not less as Wes' back is so messed up it makes things.. uhm... frustrating. I know, escaping reality is probably not the best thing, however if I don't do something to get away from it - in some form - I'm going to explode... or is that implode? LOL I'm not sure anymore.

Anyways, I hope you are all having a better time of it than me. Happy weekend everyone!
