Ok...the panic is setting in...Thanksgiving is tomorrow which means an overabundance of stimulation with food, family and fun.
Not only will I be on the razor's edge of sanity, but I'm going to have to keep close tabs on my daughter to make sure she isn't falling into the ADD abyss: that point that we get to of extreme agitation and anxiety. We're having dinner at my sister's house, and she's such a sweetheart. She has a "quiet room" where Sammy and I can go to get away from the hubbub. It's at the far back side of the house away from all the festivities, and it's great for taking a break and re-energizing and re-focusing.
If you find yourself getting edgy and nervous, seek out a quiet spot to help you dial it down a notch...I've found this to be such a great alternative to tearing someone's head off.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
