Waiting =

severly increased anxiety. So much so that I just don't want to do anything but wait for whatever it is that I'm anxious about. In this case, it's our upcoming trip. I've also noticed that the more people I travel with, the more anxious I get :) I believe "control" is often at the route of my anxiety. I'm in "just do what I say" mode...don't ask questions or try to provide suggestions, just do it. For example, packing, I want everyone to give me their stuff and I'll make it fit. That really doesn't make sense though since the husband is home and could really take care of most of this stuff...but I just can't let go of that. I need the control.

Add to this the fact that our seats aren't together and the munchkin is having "issues" and I'm one tired, anxious woman. The medication does help and I think I'll take one shortly before I get home. I just wish I could be home packing right now :)

So...the effort I'm making today (and tomorrow) is to be in the moment. Focus on what I'm doing right now, not what needs to be done by 9am tomorrow morning and remember that I have PLENTY of time to get it all done. Whew!
