Today marks the 7th day we have had workers/repairmen in our home in the last 10 days. I am SO grateful to my husband for working from home almost all of those days to be the one to deal with all of these people. The kids were gone last week, but they returned on Friday…

Buy a house, they said. It’ll be fun. I think I’ve been had. We’ve been living in our home for 17 years. Prior to that we rented. If something broke, we were dependent on our landlord to get someone out to look at it and wait for her to decide what to do about it.…

Last week I chaperoned my kids’ field trip, so I didn’t have therapy. So we spent about 20 minutes catching up on all that had happened in the last two weeks. I told about coming home from the field trip to find that my husband had done tons of work moving furniture in anticipation of…

Remember all that anxiety I’ve been having the last few days over the windows being replaced on Wednesday? Well, I don’t have to worry about Wednesday anymore. Instead I get to worry all the way to March! The windows were built in PA and apparently they haven’t made it here. If I understood correctly, they…

We have a hard time getting rid of “stuff.” We’re not quite “hoarder” level, but we’re close. Mostly it’s because we attach memories to objects. And sometimes it’s because we think “but I bet we could get money for that” and never do anything to actually sell the items. With the windows being replaced next…

Today I had therapy in my closet. I’d told the kids they needed to be in their rooms from 10-11, but at 9:58 they were still in the livingroom and I just couldn’t handle the anxiety, so I set myself up in the closet. I’d already been a little anxious about the fact that my…

So the school district decided around 10:30 today to go ahead and cancel school for tomorrow and Friday. Personally, I feel like it’s a bit premature, but no one asked me. So now I’m trying to figure out how tomorrow and Friday are going to look. I need to spend the majority of tomorrow pulling…

I’m doing it again. I’m building up worst case scenarios in my head. I know that all this does is make me more anxious, but my mind thinks that if I can think of all the bad things that could happen, I can prepare and be ready for them. But truthfully, it just makes me…

I’ve noticed I’m the least anxious when I’m doing things for other people. I may have mentioned that before. I’m not sure if the reason I’m happy is because I’m making others happy or because I’m distracted from my own worries. Either way, I decided to look at my to do list as how I…
