Something is wrong. I do not have any idea what it could be. But I woke up this morning with that horrible anticipatory feeling in my belly that generally means something is wrong.
I took the girls to school this morning. Everything was well. I kissed Sarah and she went off happily. Katie ran into her classroom and I did not get a chance to kiss her good bye, though I went back and looked in and she was happily huddled with her teachers so I assume she is okay. I pray that this feeling has nothing to do with her and that I do not regret not going in and kissing her.
Megan is fine. A little runny nose but fine. She is here with me and so I know I can take care of her. So I do not think this feeling relates to her.
I just heard from my husband so I know he is safely tucked into his desk. And as long as he stays there, barring some building issue, he is safe.
I suppose it could be finances. I did balance the checkbook last night and that always brings eternal fear to me. Especially since I am anticipating in upwards of $1000 on our electric bill. At a time when it is really inconvenient. Isn’t that the way it always is?
I don’t know. But I don’t like this feeling. To add to it, one of the girls teachers and I were talking this morning about when Megan would start preschool. I told her my gut said to wait until she was 3, like Katie was. And we got into a whole discussion about how our motherly gut instincts were generally right.
That added to my anxiety.
I feel light headed, like I could vomit, and like a crushing weight is on my chest preventing adequate oxygen levels.
I have had this feeling before and it eventually dissipates. I have had it and something has happened.
So, I guess I’ll just sit and wait for my gut feeling to explain itself. But the wait might just kill me!
For me, this feeling means that God wants me to pray. I don't always know/understand for whom I am praying or what's going on, but I pray anyway. I know He would have someone praying for ME if it were needed. Praying for you today!
I always love your blog!
Thank you Dianne! I am a prayin, trust me. For anything I can think of! But mostly for him to define this feeling so I can just deal with it and move on, ya know?
Thank you for reading! I appreciate it so much!

lori, you've done it again. i fell behind….you're the queen of posting!! so i'll comment on a few posts here.
i get gut feelings, too. usually in the form of a dream. some play out, some don't. i agree with the prayer, and i hope this turns out to be indigestion and not a premonition.
my house. i can't even go there. you are not alone girl, you are not alone.
can't help ya on the choosing thing. usually if my kids are fighting over something, i force them to take turns or i put it away entirely. they don't fight over tv…yet.
hope you're doing okay. i've been thinking about you.
Thank you Brynn for checking!! Sorry for all of the posts! I want to get back to my writing a little more and miss the contact I've had with gals like you! So, I have a lot to say! LOL
Love you much and thank you – as always – for being such a great reader!
yuck, I do hate that feeling…..I agree, pray it out!! I am sure all is well.
I hate that feeling, in my house it never seems to go away.
I hate that feeling, and I have it way to often!
I hate to have a feeling like that. Hope you have had a good day and everything turns out okay!
I get those feelings too and it makes me almost sick to my stomach. Fortunately sometimes it is nothing… so try to relax. And I hope everything turns out peachy!
I too, hate that feeling. Prayer helps me immensly. As well as talking and writing about it, like you are doing.
have you tried getting a checkup? General anxiety can be a sign that your body is telling you it needs attention.
For me, it's usually asthma related.
stopped by from the hop!
I hate that feeling. Sometimes I feel that way when I need to get organized or I have been putting something off. I hope everything has worked itself out by now!
