I hate that more than anxiety of dreading going somewhere or doing something. That anxiety after doing something. I've been dealing with it all day today and last night. I got 3 of my grandkids and brought them home for a sleepover. They always have a good time and summer is almost over and we won't be able to do the sleepovers. They ate good this visit for a change. They brushed their teeth. They loved the new tree swing my son put up. My grandson did get a scraped knee, which I treated - but that one little drop of blood got my grandson panicked. lol So I played nurse and made it better.
I did get a little frustrated taking them home - they got loud in the car. Then they started arguing in the car. Then they decided they were hungry - and as anxious as I was to get them home and come back home myself, we stopped at...…..get this...….McDonalds. lol My granddaughter spilled her milkshake on her foot, shoe and the floor of my car and I kept having to go back and forth from door to door to fix something for them. But I would still have the post anxiety even if I didn't get frustrated at the end.
Don't get me wrong - I really enjoy my grandkids and I love seeing things passed along from me, to my kids, to their kids. When I picked them up they had a clue game waiting for me - had written clues to lead me to the next then the next until I found the moose pictures they drew for me. I love it!!!
But that post anxiety that something probably was off or I missed something or something has had me in a terrible state today, almost doubled over with mental pain. How do we stop that from happening??
