It's a constant up and down.<br />The #1 thing that raises my blood pressure is probably the pets more, though. Skunk incidents and worms. We won't talk about that one.<br />And I get scared of doctor appointments which is where they check blood pressure!

Especially with the unanswered medical questions. I can't stand when that happens. And I hope that your daughter resolves her bully issue. It breaks my heart when I hear stuff like that happening.<br /><br /><br />Our last day of school is June 12.

I don't have children but I watch parents bringing their kids to me for after school music classes and it often seems that they are meeting themselves on the road. Schools here finish at the end of June and my work year fits with it and I too can't wait to see the back of this year. I hope you feel better soon.Filnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109556486849297351.post-12687184248255961262015-05-20T07:18:48.481-04:002015-05-20T07:18:48.481-04:00Well, at least now we know we are not the only one...Well, at least now we know we are not the only ones who will be gong for a few more weeks!

It's the positives that let the negatives vanish like wisps of useless energy. My daughter leaves her shoes in the laundry room. Sometimes there are seven pairs just sitting under the sink. That's a frustration to me. But the joy she brings makes that frustration evaporate.Val Newmanhttp://www.myvirtualvineyard.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109556486849297351.post-3600988906976996552015-05-19T07:24:46.448-04:002015-05-19T07:24:46.448-04:00My three girls are best of friends AND worst of en...My three girls are best of friends AND worst of enemies!

They definitely weigh up the negatives don't they! My daughter refuses to have her medicine (antibiotics) - it's hard to watch, and drives me crazy!
