My inlaws were down from maine... we have a very tiny 2 bedroom tralior that isnt very ventulated and keeps the heat in~! i didnt have my living room for the entire time they were down because they didnt bother to pick uop the air mattresses or blankets and pillows they used ( gees they could have at least folded them up and oput them in a pile)We had my daughters 7th birthday and shes upset that allthe Hannah montanoa clothes she got are too small an doesnt want to wait o return them for a bigger size. she whined all weel long getting up for scchool because she coculdnt wear them...my younger and only brother is graduating an ive been to awards night and baseabll awards night an senior night and all the other good meeting that come with graduation all week. the one day i didnt have a meeting or ceremony it was 103 degrees outside and my twins decided they were going to cry alllll day long... i had dishes piled in the sink for 3 days... i had a baby strapped to a snuggli on my back and one on my front... oh man that was rough... my daughter had feild day today and i was a chaperone.. only problem was i forgot... she came home all upset that i never showed up!!! Rent is due looking for a bigger plave to live and my husbands work had a processing error and he will have to recive his paycheck 4 days late!!

My stress this week was havoc. I'm a school custodian and Wednesday was the last day of school, As the weeks ends teachers are demanding and a lot going on, Tuesday had to move 800 lbs. of boxes, 75 lbs each from multi use room to the stage, help set up chairs for 5th grade graduation, and help parents decide what they need as far as every thing from
the p.a system, how to use and a lot of little things. on Wednesday totally busy, sweeping halls, washing walls, then had to leave for two hours for my daughters 8th grade graduation, luckily only 7 blocks away. had to be back to work by noon, so at 11:55 am wife told me I had to walk back as this would be faster for me! gee thanks, she took my mom and a few friends in wheel chairs and had to help load them in van then get out school parking lot. luckily I walked. Only 20 minutes late, wife got out of school parking lot at 1:45pm .

Thank you, I've got a whole month of vacation saved up.
Very Nice, But, I'm saving it as I might go on tour in another town, BOOK READING, and BOOK SIGNING. If they like me I'll get to do three days a week the rest this summer.
I'll found out June 30th.

That sounds super stressful. Try to leave the kids with somebody once in awhile so you can have some mommy time.
I couldn't cope with a situation like that it would absolutley drive me up a tree. The most stressful thing for me this week was that I had a colonscopy. I hated the whole thing from the prep to the experience. I'm in a medical study where I'm supposed to get one at the begining and one in about a year. I'm going to really think about that one in a year, cuz the whole situation was pretty yucky.

The thing that is stressing me out this week is the fact that my husband is losing his eyesight and soon won't be able to drive. I am not stressed because he is going blind, I'm already almost blind, and I know what it's like. I'm stressed because of his reactions to it. He needs to learn how to deal with it. I've dealt with it all my life, so I am used to it.

Awww that is heartbreaking. i am sorry to hear not only about your husbands eyesight but yours as well.. yes that would be something he would have to learn to get used to... but give him time.. he will have to deal in his own wya.. have you tried talking to him? what about informing him of your expierences as to when you began to lose your eyesight maybe give him some pointers? good luck! my best to the both of you

LOL I like how you said you have 4 kids counting your husband. I have the same. The thing that stresses me this week is the same thing that stresses me every week. and thats bills. My husbands check was not as big as it usually is and we have had to hold off on a lot of things. The whole time my kids are complaining about having nothing to do. I have been at my daughters softball game tuesday and that was a pain, I got into with her coach. it seems like I can't keep my house clean, and its freaking hot here too. LOL.

what stressed me out this week, was the shingles that
'seem to go on and on and hurt and hurt, taking tylenol
and mylotting seems to relieve a lot of the pain lol.
But the pain does get to you as it makes you over tired
and sleeping is really hard when you hurt. but the
doctor assure me it will run its course.okay but like
when? huh? sitting here is less painful than lying down
so heres where i sit. lol. you had your hands full with three
kids and a husband hope your weekend will be less stressful
cheers and good luck.

I had a very bad moment at work on Tuesday. I got confused about what I was supposed to do, which pretty much never happens. Went to lunch and all the way there and back all I could think was, "I'm not OK, I'm not OK." Stress at home combined with stress at work, I guess, usually it's just one or the other. Anyway by the end of the day it had pretty much passed.

Ooooh too much stress you got there. Mine's basically about just two things. Deciding whether to continue or cancel my application for Dubai. I got so confused, nervous and a lot was going on in my head this past week. Second worry that I had was about my birthday celebration on the 28th of this month. My half-brother just won't give me a budget for it. I mean, he went to Malaysia with his family and his daughter's boyfriend, their whole family went to Bora, they went shopping and all those trips were paid off by him and he couldn't even give me a budget for my birthday. Boo. My first worry is now resolved. Hopefully the second one will too before the day of my birthday or else I'll panic! I have everything planned and arranged already. All I need is the money that I'll use as payment.

My kids definitely stressed me out this week. I spent the whole week with them and guess what, I felt like I gained so many wrinkles! I have a 1 year old and a 3 year old and they can really be a handful.

Yours was stressful enough. What stressed me out this week? It's the 1st week of school here in the Philippines and I have to go to my kids school on their first day of class. Then on that same day, I have to attend to my stepdaughter who lives with my in-laws. She will be enrolling in college and I have to come with her. When we got to the school which she chose to enroll, the registrar told us that the course that my stepdaughter will be enrolling is closed and have to chose another course. She wanted to take Information Technology. So we decided to go and look for another school which offers that course. Gladly, we found one. Happy weekend!

This week has been somewhat busy for me. School just started last Tuesday, and I decided to work half time of my work, that means I'm working part time. School isn't that difficult yet, but I hope it won't be for the next weeks. I'm actually working on my grad school, cause I want to pursue the career I wanted and of course for me to have a better job in the future. So that kind of stresses me for cause I've been thinking too much about it. Well, I'm positive enough, that I'll be doing just fine. But at the moment, the traveling and waking up in the morning is kind of hassle for me, but I guess I'll get used to it. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. =)

I always deal with alot of stress in my life. I am so concerned about paying my bills and getting us out of debt as fast as I possibly can before my daughter turns 18 and my husband wants to retire. I hate being financially strapped but it has always been this way. We got what we wanted out of life and now it is time to buckle down and get rid of those debts. I hope that our stress doesn't hang on for long. I wish you the best in the future.

I am so stressed, I can not even sleep at night.
We are in debt up to our cadoodle, my husband does not work. He is trying to earn money from home, which isn't happening. I have a job which I hate, my boss is the wicked witch from the north, south, east and west.
She does not like me for whatever reason, and makes my life at work a living hell.
By being so stressed I sometimes make little mistakes, which she blows out of proportion, if it were someone else, she would laugh and say, you are working too hard, you need rest, with me, it's a different story.
She changes schedules, on me at the last possible minute, giving me little or no time to finish projects.
I can not afford to just walk out, and I am dealing with this stress day in and day out.
My intercom is beeping all day, I'm definitely not a happy camper.
