anxious

The worst part of anxiety is the feelings I get. When I am restless. Can't sit still. My mind is going a mile a minute. I can't relax. Can't sleep. Can't focus on one thing. I just need to move. My skin crawls. I feel like I am outside of my body floating around. It's hard to explain but if you have anxiety or have ever suffered from it, you get it. Last night I had this feeling. Was sitting on the couch with Little Guy watching Ed, Edd and Eddie (ugh) and I could . not . settle . down. I was getting up every 3 minutes which aggravated him. Pacing, Going to the bathroom. Anything to stay busy.

Little guy had the first dose of his new med last night. No allergic reaction or anything. He got sleepy in about a half hour and fell asleep with his head on my chest. So sweet. Hopefully when the dose is raised in a few days, it won't get any worse than that. He is such a trooper about meds. Doesn't argue about taking them unless he knows he has to have blood work because of them. I'm hoping that we can avoid any meds that require frequent labs. It only causes him more stress and it's not fun. For any of us.

I talked with the school about the bus situation and I guess they have someone who wants the aide position. Nice. It's someone who already works in the school system as an aide so it's a pretty simple hiring process. Lets hope there are no snags and it will go smoothly. We are all shooting for this to begin on Monday. I'm not holding my breath on any of it. I know how things work, but I'm hopeful.
