I am going through a very stressful time.
In addition to the other medical problems I've dealt with this past year, something else has come up. I am going in to the doctor this afternoon for tests. I probably won't get the test results until Tuesday because of the holiday weekend, so I get to worry about it for 4 more days.
On top of this, we are having two remodeling projects done AT THE SAME TIME (inside and outside the house). I must've been nuts to schedule that. My beagles can't go outside in the backyard. I can't let them run loose in the house because painters have the windows open. Yesterday they were in their crates almost all day. Today I've barricaded them upstairs. There's so much hammering and banging going on, that the dogs are stressing out, barking and running from room to room!
My oldest son just came home from college last night. The kitchen is off limits because of the remodeling. Our other son graduates from high school 2 weeks from today. Which means I have a housefull of relatives coming in a little over a week.
My life is chaos right now!Can I just jump off a cliff?
If this medical problem ends up being serious, I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't believe this is coming up at this time in my life.
Any prayers or good thoughts you can send my way would help. I could use some hugs.

You have a lot going on!  Sending hugs your way....
At least these 2 projects will be done in a shorter amount of time by doing them together - right?
Can you take the dogs to a park or something for an afternoon, or just get out of the house??
Good luck!! Hang in there, this will all be over soon!

Hiya,
I am so sorry you are going through all of this right now, how awful for you!
I hope that the renovations are speedy... Once it's over, at least you'll have both jobs done and you won't have to worry about it anymore.
Congrats on your son's graduation.  I'm sure everything will go fine with them all being home, I am sending happy thoughts your way!!
I really hope that the medical condition you are worried about turns out to be nothing. You poor thing, all this stress must just be doing your head in. I can't imagine having to worry about another health condition on top of everything else that is going on in your life right now. I know you are very strong, and you'll get through this but just in case I am sending extra thoughts and hugs your way for whenever you need them.
Let us know how everything goes, we're thinking about you.
**hugs**

I'm trying to stay busy to keep my mind off of everything.
I can't even go to the bathroom without worrying about someone watching me! There is a painter (on a ladder) at almost every window, including the upstairs ones, which I have no window coverings on because I thought, heck, who would ever see me up here on the second floor???
I even walked into my closet (upstairs) ---and I guy was at that window (yes, there is a full length window in my closet---put there to even out the look on the front of the house.) I have a window covering on it, but it's a little transparent!
I'm ok ---now--- after a scare. The carpenter almost cut his finger off in my garage (with his miter saw). Then a big wasp wandered in through the open windows. The almost all-Hispanic crew has its boom box on so loud (listening to the Spanish-speaking station) that I couldn't hear my son when he called. I know they think I'm a very desperate housewife because I was pantomining "TURN DOWN THE STEREO."
And for some unknown reason, I'm now craving Mexican food!
Where is my husband when I need him? He better not be at the golf course!
Ok, think of the positives....my kitchen is looking nice....I like the new exterior color I chose for the house. Who cares whether they found another $500 worth of rotten wood to be replaced? It's just money, right?
I am getting all my projects done at one time.
My relatives come a week from Monday. This all better be completed in time for me to have my house and yard straightened up beforehand.
And what if this medical "thing" turns into a crisis? Who will hold the fort down?
Yikes! I am freaking out!

Oh BL, I'm so sorry, you sure do have a lot going on! What were you thinking when you scheduled all these projects together?    LOL!!! But, as Cara mnentioned, it will all be down twice as quick now! I'm glad its looking nice and I hope they are out of there in time for your relatives!
Please keep us updated on this new medical thing. I hope it turns out to be nothing! Love and Hugs!

You've got it! And you are not alone! Our family has TWO major medical problems involving two different folks (hubby and son) at a time where it seems more than we can bear or handle. Hang in there! God is bigger!!

You certainly have my thoughts & prayers. There sure is a lot of stuff going on at your house right now.
I am a little stressed, too. My dog, Rusty is 13 and has a carcinoma tumor in his nose. He is still doing OK and seems to be happy and having a good quality of life but he is breathing like a person that has a cold. I know that he will not get well and we will just try to make him as comfortable as we can until it's time to let him go.
We had some remodeling done right during the Christmas Holidays and it was a 3 week project mostly outside. I remember the hammering and sawing driving me nuts, too. There was no privacy because there were workmen everywhere. I had a very bad cold at the time and my head was pounding anyway. I remember one day I just broke down and told my hubby I just couldn't stand it anymore. Then I started reading a really good book and it seemed to help me not be so stressed out. I kinda got wrapped up in the book. Maybe something like that could help you.
Keep us posted on how everything goes.
Hugs
