I've been having some blood pressure problems, and I have scheduled a dr.'s appointment. I know some of it has been stress, but I also know some of it is because of my weight. It also runs in my family.

My duties as treasurer for the high school PTA ended June 30, but I am still finishing up the notebook for audit which is due to the auditor this afternoon.

Also, I am secretary for Roanoke District PTA, and that job doesn't end until April, 2009. We have a meeting this evening and I still have to type the minutes from the last meeting and get them copied. The meeting is at a school 1 hour from me and I had to mapquest directions.

So I won't be around today, but I could really use some prayers that my blood pressure comes down. I can tell it is up because I feel a little "panicky" and my head hurts a little, and I'm sure it is because I have so much on plate today. Once I get those minutes typed and the notebook finished, I hope I'll feel a lot better.

I also had a crying spell...well I'm sure you all know why.

Thank you.

Sending you prayers and a big {{{{{{{{{{{{{hug}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Even though you have so much to do, try to sit for a few minutes every hour and just close your eyes and breath.

You'll get through it ok. We're all sending you good thoughts.

Praying for you. I love Yvonne's suggestion. Take a few minutes each hour to just breathe and relax. You may need to lighten the load by asking someone to take over one of those responsibilities....I know how hard that is. (Been there) Don't overload yourself.....I'll be praying.

Thanks everyone. The minutes are typed (woo hoo). Now to finish the notebook. My heart still feels like it is pounding and my head hurts a little, but I am going to take a breather and lie down on the couch for a bit.

I am gradually stepping out of school PTA volunteer work...I'm not an officer on the PTA board at my son's school this year. Only a committee member with after prom party and passing all my knowledge (ha!) to the new after prom chair. We have a breakfast meeting in October.

I'll be really happy when April 09 gets here because my duties as secretary for Roanoke District PTA end, and I am going to Palooza!

Oh Jan....I'm so sorry. Sometimes I feel just the way you do, so I can understand what you're going through. I'm sending you a big hug!!! I'm also hoping that your headache goes away and your blood pressure goes down!!

Jan, sure hope your BP comes down soon! My mom has high BP and takes meds for it, but she does have days like you did today. Bad headache and all! I tell DH - see what I'm gonna be like in another 20 years?!

Sure hope you are feeling better now!

Jan, you need to take time for YOU! Would taking a walk help your BP? Exercise can help your mood and your BP! (like I'm one to talk...)

Felt a little better this evening. Hopefully some sleep will help and I'll feel better in the morning.

Jan thinking of you! Isn't it amazing all the little projects that we take on- we are woman-we can do it all.
Take it easy on yourself-it is probably a good distraction for you right now with your son being away.

How are you doing today Jan? I know we all think that we're wonder woman and some of our stress is self inflicted - at least that's true for me.

I hope you are feeling better.

Morning girls. This morning I think my blood pressure is down and I don't have a headache, but my left eye hurts a little. I called my dr.'s office and I have a 7:15am appointment Friday morning.

Thanks so much for your prayers. I left the meeting early last night (after doing what I had to do), and I finished the notebook. I talked with the auditor and she is in no big hurry for it, so I had a little more time to finish and will give it to her on Friday.

On the bright side, we received 2 letters from Jacob yesterday...one addressed to us and one addressed to our youth group at church. I will share these in a separate thread.
