T - minus 6 days and counting...

This week needs to be over. I want to just do my race and have it be done.

Instead I have a week to...

• Put together a photo book as an end of year teachers gift
• Make 100 tarts for the "Queen of Tarts" cast party
• Attend the Kindergarten play "Queen of Tarts" and serve 100 tarts at the cast party
• Attend the 3rd Grade Author's breakfast
• Attend the kindergarden "Gymnastics" show
• Attend my nieces gymnastics show
• Make it to 2 doctors appointments
• Make it to 2 rehersals for said gymnastics show
• Make it to 2 skating times for the other daughter
• Attend a volunteer breakfast
• Work 2 mornings at the Y

I also have to hope that my Grandmother does not die this week. It's awful to say, but I have no idea how I would add a funeral (and all the drama) to the list. Boy that sounded a little cold, so let me add that it is my Dad's mom (who was really not good to my mom or us kids). My aunts are fighting about the care my grandmother has received (and beating up on the one who is healthcare proxy). My grandmother is 95 years old. She's tired. She's had a full life. She was admitted to the hospital Saturday night. She's not doing well. I say make her comfortable; she's not getting better this time. It's just a matter of time... Everybody dies and OLD AGE is not an illness that can be healed!

I will try deep breathing and self-hypnosis (a la itunes) to help with the anxiety. I will make sure that I am fully prepared for the race (I may even get some new sneakers if I can sneak a trip to the store into my schedule). I just need to make it through the week - and that's a lot...
