I decided I had better start something like this up, because apparently I have alot to say.

These past two weeks have been long and difficult ones. It began Saturday, the 11, when I came down with a cold of some sort. Being pregnant and having a cold is difficult, because I don't want to take any medicine unless I absolutely have to. Since my nose was stuffed up I had a very hard time sleeping, so I got about 4 hours of sleep every night for about a week. I also started working full time again. So on top of getting no sleep, being sick, and being very emotional due to pregnancy, by Wednesday I was just not able to function at all. I woke up Wednesday with everything hurting, and I was getting a headache, and I could hardly do anything. I couldn't get the baby to quit crying or eat anything, so Beth came over and we had a good talk about everything. So she took the kids home so that I could rest up and hopefully get better. I took the next day off as well, just so that I could hopefully avoid exposing the kids to the cold and so I could get some much needed rest.
Later that night, (Thursday, the 17) I was talking to my mom and she told me that my aunt had called her that morning and said that we should probably go see our grandma because it didn't look like she was going to make it - she has been slowly dying for the past year or so). We decided that Friday we were going to go up and see her. I called Beth and told her what was going on and she said that would be fine and to keep her posted. 8:30 Thursday night, my mom called to say that my grandma had died & that we were going to go take care of funeral arrangements the next day. So my weekend consisted of driving to Tripoli everyday, being sick, making funeral arrangements, having the visitation on Sunday night, and then having the funeral on Monday.
Tuesday, I had a doctor's appointment which consisted of a glucose test (to check for gestational diabetes), which I ended up failing. So tomorrow I will go take a 3 hour long test at the hospital. I have never been so worried about anything my entire life.
All of this has been happening these past two weeks, which is compounded by the fact that a rumor was spread about me over the weekend that I was not a good daycare provider.
I don't think I've ever been so stressed in my life.
