Hanging in there

David and I volunteer at  church on Tuesday evenings during the school year teaching CRE, Catholic Religious Education, formerly known as Cathechism or CCD.  Anyway, David works with a boy with issues, ie:  ADHD.  Several times this year, including on his birthday 12/2/14, David went out with friends and did not come home.  We have had talks about how much the school/church/the child count on us to show up.  Well, David was a no  show again.  I called.  He says "I don't feel like it."  He was slurring his words.  My guess he was drunk or high.  So I kicked him out.  HUGE argument with Paul.  David is back.  But he has been doing school work and cleaning the house.  so for now, things are ok.
I am so freaking busy at work and the anxiety is bad.  I am so fatigued and burnt out.  No working out all week except yesterday I went to my personal training session with Patti.  They have a theater room, so after I lifted weights with Patti for 30 minutes, I jumped on an elliptical for 40 minutes and watch Fast & Furious 6.  I had gained a few lbs and now back down 1.  I am in the Biggest Loser contest at my gym.  $10,000.00 first prize.  I need to step it up.
The anxiety is back on a semi regular basis so I am back to taking Lexapro.  It's only been a few days so I am sure will be a few weeks before I get some relief.  I am PRAYING things slow down at work.  I've been on the road every day.  Monday I drove 3 1/2 hrs each way in the snow to a broken pipe claim in Mercersburg PA.  Tuesday and Wednesday I inspected one claim, yesterday 2 fire losses and today one claim.  All that field time leaves no time to get estimates written, document files, upload photos, return calls, etc.  So I guess I will be working this weekend.  Ugh!  I need a break.

Yes you infinitely need a break. The stress level must be over the moon!
