My body is having a mutiny!

Everytime I am under an unusual amount of stress, my body lets me know about it. It started back in the 4th grade when I just was NOT getting long division. Night after night I worked problems with my grandma until we were both exhausted and yet I still wasn’t confident that I understood it completely. The day before a math test I would be nauseous and my stomach would hurt.

Other gut wrenching memories include my first day of Junior High as the new kid, going on job interviews, moving to a new city etc. Heck, on my wedding day my neck froze solid and I could not move from side to side because of the pain!

Now people don’t know this about me by just looking at me. In fact I have had many people mention how calm I am in the face of stress and in a crisis and it’s true, I am. I remain very level headed and am able to act calmly- but I guarantee when it is all over I will have a stomach ache that will send me to the bathroom and then to bed!

I am having such a situation now! Last week my husband went to a convention for a few days and I was sorta cool with that. It doubles my work load but I was relatively prepared and didn’t think I minded until I woke up the morning he was leaving and my stomach reminded me otherwise. I made it through the week OK and he came back Saturday so I should be fine right? well apparently wrong! and now I think I know why.

This is the weekend my husband and I have to give the Spirituality Talk for our parish Pre-Cana Day. We’ve been working on it and I got a lot of help from Rex. I think we’re going to be OK, but WOW the week I am having until Saturday comes!!

So maybe if ya’ll wouldn’t mind a few prayers that this aching body of mine could just RELAX until then, I would greatly appreciate it!
