Blah

I'm not really feeling up to blogging tonight - it's been a day. The kids were great (which is actually something amazing since last week was less than great around here) but still - life managed to give a few good swift kicks. Not the least of which is Kelton seems to have developed a physical problem due to stress and anxiety. I took him in for lab work today which came back clear so they are saying stress and anxiety are the likely problems. *sigh* I'll share more on that later - I'm just too tired to go into all tonight. He's fine though - and he will be fine. It is just a slight bump in the road. Clearly we'll have to find a way to give him better tools for handling stress because, let's face it, it wouldn't be our life if it wasn't stressful these days.

I'm sure wishing the family and I were on a nice piece of oceanfront property though. Somehow, the ocean always seems to make things feel more manageable. It's one of the places the four of us love to go to escape. Escaping sounds pretty darn nice right now. Family time. It's a good thing. :)

But - since we can't get out of town right now, I guess I'll go do the next best thing and climb under the blankets and watch mindless TV. A virtual escape. Hey - maybe what I need is a continuous play DVD of the ocean. Then I can virtually escape any time I want! :)
