I’ve been going through some serious FREAK OUTS since the trip to North Carolina. I enjoyed the quiet and luxury of relaxing (when I could) and not having the stress of work. Then my private hell of realizing just how hard it was to be with your kids 24/7 for 9 days, 4 of which were in the car, started. This was followed by a 24 hour Girl Scout camp training the following weekend. Assorted school activities and doctor appointments for the kids. Preparign the parents and the troop for the Girl Scout encampment. Going to the Girl Scout encampment, recovering from GS encampment (which was mentally and physcially hard) and now back to a quiet week.

On top of all of this, we’ve decided to refinance our mortgage to a 4.something % for 20 years instead of the 6.something for 30 years that we currently have. Because we are gluttons for punishment. Or something like that.

All of this has gotten me freaked out. I am tired of working. But I need to work for my sanity and my paycheck. Sigh. I wish I had the winning lottery ticket. Not millions and millions, but maybe $100,000 a year for life. I could deal with that.

I have more to say on my stresses, but no time right now!
