Stop the ride – I want to get off!

The past three weeks have been crazy busy for me.  Do you ever have those periods of time that make you feel like you are honestly going nuts?  Since my dad broke his hip three weeks ago, and my son got in the accident, life has thrown me for a loop.  My husband’s dear grandfather also passed away.  My husband hasn’t been feeling well. The Leap into Spring event currently going on is fun, but also quite a bit of work.  I think everything just hit all at once, and at a really bad time.

I have been helping my dad (he is now home), but bless his heart he doesn’t like to consolidate errands.  I don’t mind helping but I like to do all of my “outings” at one time during the day, and then be free to deal with other things the rest of the day.

I have been making numerous phone calls about  my sons’s accident, going to doctor’s appointments with the hubs and my dad, trying to do my posts, and answering about 4,000 phone calls a day.

ACK!  I could very well be at my breaking point.  I have to say that today was a bit better, and I am trying to stay positive. I am just ready for things to slow down!

This looks very appealing to me right now:

I would love to take a nap under these trees:

Or this.  Yes, this is what I want:

I know things will get better…but in the meantime, who wants to run away with me?

  1. I'm sorry Jen! Xanax anyone?! Seriously though, we HAVE to get away together soon – hopefully kid free! Let's try to plan something soon. I hope your days get better soon!

  2. I'm with you! Let's runaway together and let the men fend for themselves. Wait?! What am I saying? Speedy Cop and The Chad….RUH ROH!

    I lub joo…you know where you to stalk me my love, I am here for you. xoxo

  3. I would love to run away for a few days!!
    I hope your family starts to feel better and you get all your errands run so things will slow down!
    I have been enjoying your Spring event too, but I can't even keep up with your giveaways LOL.

    Hugs to you!!!

  4. XOXO Speedy! You are in my prayers. You need a break! Doesn't it seem when it rains it pours. I can't seem to catch a break either. My sister has been very sick. The baby is here every weekend (which I love) but I have no time to even catch up with you!
    LOVE you and hope you get some much needed rest!
    Hugs,

  5. I'm there! Let's run away together. All those pics sure do look relaxing! Hope things slow down a bit for you 🙂

  6. Jennifer I am so ready to run away with you!!! When shall we leave? Just let me know when and I'm there. 🙂

    I am so so sorry that life has been so tough so busy for you lately. You handle it all with such love and grace your family is lucky to have you at the helm.

    I'm here if you ever need to vent – send an email, text or phone call I'm here.
    Love you speedy! (hugs)

  7. Please take me! I am also about to lose my mind!

    Unfortunately, you have a lot going right now and I know blogging events can be so time consuming on top of everything else. Hang in there, pretty soon it will be smooth sailing and hopefully one day, you will be sitting on the beach with absolutely nothing consuming your mind!

  8. DEAR…you've been watching too many "I can't believe it's not butter" (insert Heavy accent) commercials… Yeah…I saw the pics. WAKE UP! LOL!

    GAME ON!!! I will have my Nike's ready to run…but someone might have to carry me! THAT OK?

    I hope things get better quick…life is a challenge. One thing that has been helping me is that another blog is doing 'Positive' thoughts and it is funny how you get those stuck in your head and it changes you if you can find a FEW SECONDS OF THE CRAZY DAY TO THINK!

    I see Melissa posted too…I dont know how you guys are doing all this…it took me half a day to cover and SORT of catch up on her blog…I sometimes wish for more hours in the day and then I am like WHAT ARE YOU SERIOUSLY CRAZY…it would just be more kid, laundry, errands, cooking, homework, cleaning, trying to catch up on the blogs hours ANYWAY! We just have to breathe when we can. Hope you get a few extra moments to yourself today. take care!

  9. I can't run away but you can run here and hang out with Eliana. She'd cheer you up and help you catch a breath. 🙂

    I'm sorry things have hit you all at once. Ugh! You're an amazing woman, speedy pants.

    I'm here if you need me. In the meantime, I'll be praying. (hugs)

  10. Vacations are healthy. I hope that things slow down for you and get taken care of so that you can breathe a bit even without a vacation!

  11. It seems when one domino fall….

    I know those times very much and I swear last week I was going to have a stroke!

    My BF called and we talked and i swear I started to feel myself calm down.

    Get a girlfriend and do a spa!

    I hope things are calming down by now. *HUGS*

  12. I am so ready to run away from home. We are hosting Easter for my Husband's family. Mind you he came from 9 siblings. Just counting one of his sisters, she has 13 family members coming to my house if you include them all its about 45-50. Top that off with rain and having them all huddled inside and I am going to be out of my mind…already am!

    Hang in there. Let's have a ladies night out!
