Surprise, Surprise!

You can say that again!  I had the most stressful week ever when it should have been the best week ever.  On Monday February 27th it was DH and I 24th wedding anniversary.   Well, they say things come in 3's... I had 3 and hope it stops!  

First, DH has been having some health issues.  We have spent time at the Dr's and lab... blood work, ECG, Holter... now we wait.  He seems to feel a little better until this morning - he thinks he is coming down with a head cold. :(

Second, my DD texted me in a panic or what seemed like a panic.  She is unhappy with work and she was telling me she was going to quit, get into something else... not sure if she wants to do that... but then really wants to do that... "can I talk to you about it?... yes"... then she never showed up...or I thought she was coming over but she changed her mind....

meanwhile, the third thing... There was a situation with an association I belong to and I wrote a brief 2 liner about a discussion we had at the meeting in our executive minutes (exec minutes go in the newsletter as a draft) and the business it pertained to read it and called our president and threatened to sue for slander.  *sigh*  She had incredible demands so we called an emergency exec meeting and I contacted a lawyer. Thank God, I was told I did nothing wrong she was just seriously over reacting.  We "amended" the minutes as the lawyer advised and now we wait to see what comes of it from here.  BUT in the meantime I seriously lost sleep, had migraines and felt terrible about putting the association in that position.  My stomach is in knots even while I write this!

Oh wait, maybe there is 4 things.. my son who is a wonderful boy has been, well, doing teenage brainless things... its not B-A-D in some sense of the word but he's pushing his luck.  It could be much worse...teaching responsibility is stressful!

DH and I did have a nice time 2 days before our anniversary - we went for a drive down a 21 mile scenic route in the USA.  We haven't crossed the border into the USA for a couple of years and decided to do something different.  We ate at Applebees - I had a very tasty meal, not sure the points but I ordered it using good choices.   On the actual day of our anniversary we went to the Olive Garden... its HARD to make good choices there!  But I ordered a dinner and brought over half home. 

I obviously didn't do much damage cause I lost 2.4 lbs... I don't think it will be hard to lose for next week as my stomach is not handling food well at the moment... it never rains it pours - why can't life run smooth?
