[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 197059, member: 3419"] I know how you feel. I build in a vacation every few wks. This time I flew to MN and stayed with-my dad at his retirement home. Doesn't get more peaceful than a bunch of people with-walkers and wheelchairs repeating themselves all the time! The food wasn't half bad, either. And sleeping late is a bonus. I see on your profile that you are a single mom. (And how dreadful, the circumstances under which your husband was killed.) That complicates it; do you have friends or family who can watch your kids while you go somewhere for a day or two? Luckily, I am still married and can leave my kids with-my husband. I do not think that medications will zone you out, as long as you take a very low dose, and, the big one for me, is to always, always, always get tablets, not capsules, because you can bite them in half. You would be surprised how quickly Xananx works, for ex., and it will not zone you out if you bite it in half. (Yes, I've used it.) I'd also suggest staggering your kids' schedules so they are not all home at the same time. One could be in baseball, one in an after-school program, etc. I would even stagger their mealtimes if necessary. It sounds like they need to be constantly separated because of their fighting. I hope that helps a tiny bit. [/QUOTE]
