Time for a mental health post! Where I desperately hope that writing stuff down will help me figure out what's on my mind and help me CHILL OUT. 

First, I slept poorly. I guess my shoulder hurts and I thought using an extra pillow might make me sleep better than the night before but that was incorrect. I woke up a lot from discomfort. So I'm tired and achy which does not help. 

But also husband reminded me about A Thing I should deal with, then I got a text about a dentist appointment for the baby, THEN I got another text about my therapy appointment... I'm pretty sure we have health care through the month but I'm still stressed about appointments. Maybe I'll ask the office if they can file paperwork real quick so we can guarantee coverage... 

It just reminds me that I really should have made other appointments and makes me think I should hustle to make a few more appointments before the end of May because at least June we still can do COBRA (though I'm not sure how we're paying for it...) or maybe I should focus instead on looking into state funded health care? Or maybe I need to wait until he's officially on unemployment........... Ugh. I just keep thinking of all the things I should do but I'm achy and my baby is trying to wreak havoc, and I kind of want to make something yummy for the kids and I should probably make sure baby actually eats lunch...

I just remember the kids were like "donuts!" And what if I went out and bought a few? 😮‍💨 Probably shouldn't though. How much is a dozen donuts with a little variety?... Sigh. I am NOT making donuts (though it's not that bad with canned biscuit dough, I'm still NOT doing it). I think I have a dinner plan... Maybe I'll make rolls. And that tiny box of brownie mix. 

Idea! I hear trader Joe's is great for snacks and frozen food, maaaaybe we can try some stuff and it'll feel fun even if it's new and different. Bring the kids? Something to think about, I guess. 

Maybe I should have taken a nap during preschool 😥 this hasn't really helped, though I do like that idea. I'm just feeling STRESSED even though it hasn't been a week!
