Did I put that annoying Annie song into anyone’s heads? Sorry…I despise the song myself, so I’m suffering with it too now!
This has been a rough week for me. Life has a way of throwing sucker punches sometimes. A loved one is very ill, my feet both have stress reactions in them, and Mr. Zippy has been away since Sunday. When you get into a position like this, you have to prioritize and let some things slide.
Making the rounds of blogs this week? Hasn’t happened (sorry). Making sure the kids have good meals to eat? For the most part, yes, but when they laid out a buffet of mostly junk at my son’s final Lego robotics class yesterday at 4:30 in the afternoon, I let that serve as their dinner. I did just post about trying not to be a food Nazi when it comes to my kids’ diets, so there was my balance, right?
This all leaves me very much looking forward to tomorrow, when I get to have an epic blogger meet-up! Barefoot AngieBee is making her way through these parts tomorrow on a train bound for New York. She has a three-hour layover in DC, so I’m headed there to meet her. Not only that, but Marine Corps Mama is going to join us. I’m really looking forward to this face time with a couple of my favorite bloggers out there. This all serves as a nice light at the end of this week’s tunnel. There will be pictures, for sure, so stay tuned.
Now back to my regularly scheduled (temporary) life of stress…
oh man! Have fun tomorrow!
Sorry about the stressful week. NO FUN. I always hate it when my husband is gone. I hope you have an awesome time tomorrow!!!
Sorry for the bad week. Glad you can meet some wonderful friends. We wrote about the same topic today: to meet blogger friends.
Sorry for this week
What fun to be having a blogger meet-up, though. Our Eugene bloggy dinner last weekend was a blast! Can't wait to hear all about it!
Hang in there!! I can't wait to meet you tomorrow. I'm thinking a nice *walk* around the mall might be just the ticket. And maybe a beer. Or two.
I'm sorry to hear about your loved one. Hope tomorrow puts a nice cap on an otherwise bummer week. Cheers!
I hope things settle down for you soon!
So sorry about your week!! And the stress reactions??? WTH?? Enjoy your time with Angle and MC Mama…I know it will be good for your spirit!
Sorry to hear about your week, hope your loved one recovers ASAP and things calm down for you. Have a great bloggy meet-up!
I'm a Marine Corps Mama too! Cool!
Hang in there. The week is pretty much done! Onward and upward!
Sorry about the rough week. I"m right there with you. My husband leaves town again soon and my kids are testing me like never before! But I did get a recharge yesterday so we'll see if it worked for today…so far I'm holding on. Have fun with your blogger meet up and hope those stress reactions turn out to be nothing too serious. uggh!
I'm sorry about your stressful week. I hope your loved one gets better soon! Bummer about your feet too…rest them and they'll get better too!
The best things about rough weeks is how great you feel when it passes! You can't eat healthy with Legos in the picture, wouldn't be right.
hate when life gets so crazy, but it seems it's always going to be like this. have fun w/ the meet up!
sorry to hear about your stressful week! hopefully things will calm down a bit here soon. so PUMPED for your blogger meet-up! woo hoo! those are my favorite
Hope the blogger meet-up relieves you of some of the stress from this week! Have fun!
You lucky duck! Meeting Angie Bee!!!!! What's wrong withyour feet??
Have fun tomorrow, sounds like so friends and R&R is needed
When my husband's gone, I always use my grandma's favorite Winston Churchill quote: "When you're going through hell, keep going." Good for running, too…
at least the week is finally behind you….have a great time with the ladies!
Don't let MCM Mama take your beer. Just sayin…
When I first read it (not carefully, I guess), I thought you said both feet had stress *fractures* and I almost had a heart attack! Stress reactions, though, I've done. I took about ten days off running for the same reason – too much, too soon. Um, is that the story of our lives or what??
I certainly hope your loved one's health issue is resolved soon and hooray for bloggy meet-ups!! Can't wait for the pics and wild stories.
I thought the same as P! Take care of those feet! The Cavemans been gone all week so I feel ya on that front. Here's to the end of a stressful week. Have a blast at the meet up!
I hope things calm down for you soon and that your loved one gets better soon! Enjoy the blogger meet-up!
I hate it when life happens… That has been my week..
I hope things get better in your world!
Hope things take a turn for the better for you – both with your feet and with your ailing loved one. Hoping the weekend brings you good vibes.
bummer about the stress! enjoy the blogger meetup, i'm sure that'll help make you feel better!
It does seem to all pile up at once, doesn't it? Sounds like your blogger meet up couldn't come at a better time – enjoy!
Hope your feet feel better soon! Sorry about the rough week you've had! Have a great time at the blogger meetup… I'm definitely looking forward to reading about it.
Have fun at that bloggy meet up!
oh, wow. I thought a stress reaction in my femur was bad. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with so much at once. Glad you have something to look forward to though; tomorrow should be a great time! Hang in there!!
All the stressful stuff always seems to happen at the same time. Why is this? I'm hoping your weekend is a major de-stressor and you get to have some fun.
You have sure been served more than your fair share of bad stuff lately. Only thing I can say is that bad things usually come in threes and so soon you should be on the upswing. I TOTALLY know how it feels when Mr. Zippy (though not Mr Zippy in my case (<;) is gone and the world starts caving in. Sending virtual hugs out. Have a great day tommorow-the start of the kick butt upswing!
Have a blast with your bloggy meet up!! Love those!!
No more stress!
What a cool bloggy meet-up that is sure to be! Have fun and hopefully, everything will be a little smoother soon. Hugs ((()))
Yes, you did put that song in my head, but since you are having a tough week I will let it slide! Have fun at the meet up, and hope everything else works out too!
Take pics of the meet up and your new hairdo
Sorry about the rough week. At least it's not a rough month. I hope your feet heal up quick. Careful with that b.f. stuff.
::sends hugs of comfort::
I can imagine how frantic life is, mine has been super busy too and a I have missed so much on everyones blogs. how have you been?
Hope you enjoy your meetup tomorrow – which I think is now today! Anyway, have a great time!
Yes now I have that Annie song in my head…LOL
Hope it went great today!
What??? Two stress fractures? Argh!! I was just going to email you and ask how it was going. And what the hell is Chris K talking about? Um…it's been a rough many months for you and ENOUGH, you have had enough!!!
Hope you had a nice visit with blog friends….just think, I will see you in about 6 weeks?!?!?
Happy Mother's Day, girl!! Hope you get outdoors for a little adventure.
Hope you had a great date yesterday with girls. Sounds to me it's just something you needed after a rough week.
I am so sorry you had a bad week. YOU ARE AMAZING and I hope today you are having the best Mother's Day EVER!!!
Hope things are better already. Take it easy. Really great that you get to meet other bloggers, super!
Oh, I missed you!! Hope you all had fun!
Sorry it was been a tough week, hopefully this week will be better!
I hope the blogger meet up was good! I can't wait to hear all about it. What I wouldn't give for a few moments with Angie. I'd love to pick her brain about a few things.
Sorry about your week. What's going on with your feet? Did you get more x-rays? I'm hoping for the best for you. I've had you on my mind lately.
Hope things start improving soon. It's easy to feel overwhelmed when EVERYTHING seems to hit at once. Best wishes and prayers to your ill loved one. Eeeks on the foot problems – injuries/illness are discouraging enough without all the other distractions. Keep your chin up!
Just wanted to send you a virtual ((HUG))
Yes – it's the mother of all meet-ups.
(( hugs )) your way…
