Its been a stressful one

It is 1:37 in the a.m. and here I am unable to sleep. The restless legs woke me up even tho I took my meds. I contribute it to the stressful day yesterday. With 5 children there is always something and sometimes more than just a something. It started out with trying to get my youngest daughter registered for college and all the financial aid hoopla you have to go through. After about 4 hours it all worked out. She is so happy to be starting school. She also is wanting to get a new car - this one financed by her. But I will probably have to co-sign which I have no problem doing, but my husband does have a problem with it. So that has caused some friction. I may not have mentioned that 4 of the children are mine from previous marriage and 1 child is a stepson. That whole family blending experience is a whole other blog. Child #1 is almost 25 and living in Mississippi and trying to go to school too. She's calling me for money for school.

And with all this going on, my 76 yr old mom broke her toe the other day. She is stubborn and not a very compliant patient. She insists she still can do it all and won't ask for help. So we just have to show up without asking her and start doing for her. Another blog another day - she is my inspiration.

And through all that I am called a million times a day at work and it often difficult to get into a major "discussion" about all these things. So I guess all that has contributed to my inability to sleep and the onset of a bad attack of restless leg. I even went to bed early so I could get some much needed extra rest, HAHA!

As frustrating as it can be at times, I love my life. Tomorrow (rather today) is a new day and it will all be fine in the end.
