The school trip got home after midnight last night and my "vacation" is over. husband picked her up when the bus arrived at the school and brought her home. She asked to be woken up at 6am as she wanted time to shower. She got woke up at 6am, 6:20, 6:45 and 7. The stress has started and already in full force. She says she had a terrible time on the trip (which included two nights in a motel, a day at Six Flags, free time in San Antonio at El Merkato and River Walk. She was OK with her room mates and the people she went with to have meals, but I guess there are some girls she has an ongoing girl drama thing with. I got automated grade reports this morning and it took another dive. Was 3 D's, 1 C, and an A in music. Now has 2 F's, 1 D and I C- and the A in music.
I can feel my stress levels rising in just one morning. On the day she left for the trip I had an upper endoscopy and found that I have GERD and an ulcer and a hiatal hernia. The hernia is small enough that it probably won't need treatment. On new medications for the other two things. They also had to balloon my esophagus because of stricture caused by the GERD and scar tissue. Maybe having 4 days of "normal" will only make it harder to deal with our every day reality. KSM
