the holidays are here…..I’m at a loss as to where our fall went. The older my children get it seems the faster time goes. I have been having anxiety issues for about 2 years now and went to the er last week. I felt like fainting several times during the day and then went in to a full on anxiety attack. Horrible!  thought I was dying. I checked out fine and they could find nothing wrong with me. Then it happened again a few days later, same occurance and right after I ate, just as before. This time I called the dr and they had me come right in. Turns out food was loding in my esophogus which shut off oxygen to my brain. Then my brain told me heart to race to get more oxygen and then comes the anxiety. I’m happy to say I am responding very well to some meds for my esophogus which should heal in about 8weeks. Dr. also gave me some xanax to help calm my body while it’s healing. Both drugs are working beautifully and I am sooooo thankful. Thursday will be the 5 of us here for Thanksgiving. I am so looking forward to no travel and no difficult guests coming. We will have a lovely dinner and most likely play our usual board game of Scrabble and Monopoly, with a lot of movies and football thrown in. I went early this am to the market and have everything I need for the dinner. Tomorrow I’ll make the pies……chocolate cream, pumpkin and apple. If I’m ambitious enough I may make the pie dough today.

Yesterday was spent cleaning out the basement for the local donation pickup today. I generated 13 boxes of unused,unwanted and unnecessary items just in the basement alone!  How freeing it felt to send it on it’s way.

I wish you all a warm holiday! 

Everyone, please go out and vote today. If you’re doing an absentee ballott then make sure it gets in today’s mail so your vote can be counted. It is soooooo important. Change begins at home and we can do a lot for the structure of this country if we vote in democrats in our city/state offices. They are the ones who go on to become Senators and President.

I’ve been away from blogging for a month now. I had decided to dedicate some time this fall to much needed projects around the house and also because my teenagers seemed to all three go into “high need” gear at the same time! gah! Well, some projects were accomplished while others remain untouched and at the moment all teens are somewhat steady. One doesn’t know what the hell he is doing now that he’s out of high school, the next in line is gearing to graduate in June and beside herself with fear of not getting into her college of choice and 3rd but certainly not least is the baby. He is 16 and it shows!
Having said all of that, I’ve decided I cannot compartmentalize life and ignore one thing while trying to get a grasp of something else. It’s one big melting pot and I give up trying to tackle each individually. So, I will be writing again and hope that it reaches someone out there across the globe who enjoys the readings of other lives as much as I do.
