Life has been a little stressful for me lately. It seems like I can't get ahead in my finances no matter how hard I work and it is almost summer time so that is a huge worry with me not working in the summer. Eddie wants to take a vacation and then there are so many other things we need money for. I know it will all work out....it always does but I am known to be a huge worry wart. I have had some personal issues too that have caused me great stress and health issues. My cholesterol is still high and the doctor wants me to get it down with my diet. I am really working on that but it is so hard to stick to because you can't eat anything! I need to start exercising but life is so busy and hectic it's hard to find the time or energy. I know that I will do better at that this summer. I tried twice to go back on my anxiety meds (different ones) and both made me have severe side effects. So, I decided to wait for summer when I am not working to try and get back on those. I am trying to work myself through the anxiety and somewhat depression and good friends and family help me with that. I have faith that God will get me through all these problems.
On a positive note, LeeAnn is thriving. I love watching her grow up and experience life. She is a true angel sent from God. She was out of swimming for six weeks, but it started back up this last week. I think the break is just what she needed because she came back better than ever. I was amazed at how well she did after being out for six weeks. Today we are going to her awards banquet and she is hoping to get an award. I am not sure if she will or not but I hope so because she deserves to be proud of herself. Last night she had a youth conference at the church that was an all nighter. I am sure she had tons of fun. I am excited to hear about all the details of her time there. Also, she is still in Anderson Area Children's choir and absolutely loves that as well. We have an Awards banquet for choir as well this month. Then she has her final concert on May 2. She keeps us constantly busy (and exhausted) but I wouldn't trade a minute of that time with her.
Eddie is such an amazing husband and I wouldn't trade him either. He supports me no matter how crazy and stressed I get. He knows that things get hard for me and he does his best to help me get through it. He is helping me stick with my cholesterol diet even when I get upset cause I want to eat something I shouldn't. He is such a hard worker and he mows in the summer to help us make extra money. Lately he has also been helping me around the house cause I get so overwhelmed. Now, if only this guinea pig would learn to clean up after himself, all would be right with the world. haha
