apparently i am stressed out.

ya. you heard it right. i sat down tonight and started thinking why i am feeling anxiety - here's what i came up with

  • my ILs are coming, but i have no clue when
  • our house needs to be scoured for their arrival
  • they were going to bring dogs, but now aren't
  • still don't know when they are coming....or leaving for that matter!
  • kids are headed with my parents this weekend - this will be the first weekend trip away from us, and oddly, i am looking forward to it
  • i have an alumni softball game on saturday
  • next friday a fundraiser dinner which i have to get all gussied up for
  • next saturday fun filled day of playing photographer :)
  • the following week a birthday party and wedding in the same day
that doesn't seem like a lot when i look at it written down, so i am going to chalk this one up to my issues with pmdd. yes, laugh out loud, but it is seriously true. i have it. I used to take YAZ but now i cannot be on bcp, so there is an agenda for me and my OB visit this month as i have every single symptom below and some are worse than others. I just want to be 'fixed' kwim?
