Last week was a whopper. It started Monday morning with an unhappy email, then on Tuesday my husband extended his sabbatical by another six weeks, then I had to meet with the bank to work out terms to save my fathers house, then I had to get all of my tax stuff for myself and my parents to the accountant, then to end the week my sister threatened to commit suicide if I didn't let her move here the next day.
Hey, God - wherever you are - I am a little overwhelmed down here.
Seriously, I feel as if I have been run over by a truck, but there are no physical signs so everyone thinks I should be running along just fine.
So, what do you do when you have a troublesome time in your life? I swear, I never intended to be Crisis Central. Do you hide out in your house? Do you go about your business and pretend it isn't happening? Do you crumble into bed and not get out until the world looks a little brighter?
Let's say I had been run over by a truck - you would see that I was hurt, you would probably acknowledge and understand the pain - this stuff though isn't obvious and just too messy for most folks. I don't want anyone to go out of their way, but it is so hard to ACT normal when life isn't normal.
Let's just hope that this week is a little more balanced.
