Calm, Cool and Collected--yeah right!

As most of you may know, I have been training for the past six months to run in my first marathon. Since this momentous occasion is to occur this Sunday, all of my running coaches, the marathon newsletters, etc. have been telling me to take it easy, don't be stressed out. Easier said than done. This week has been made for stress!
Let me give you a little rundown of this past week's events (so far!)...
Sunday evening, I realized I could not find my precious wedding ring. After countless searches through the house and the trash (Yuck--thank you, Jason!) it was nowhere to be found. After many a tear was shed and a sleepless night was to be had, I luckily found it the next day under one of the candles on my dresser--I shouldn't say 'luck' because we prayed about it at Mother's Day Out that day. Oh, speaking of Mother's Day Out...I found out at school on Tuesday that one of the kids in the other 2-year old class (next to Layton's) had head lice. So (big sigh) after thoroughly checking their hair and scalps and washing their hair I declared my kids lice-free (fingers crossed!). Am I stress-free? Not yet!
Stressful event no. 3: Since we just recently had a cold snap, I decided to turn our heater back on. What happened you might ask? Oh, nothing--just a serious burning gas smell. After we called a technician to come over to our house, he said that if the breaker had not tripped a fire could have started in our attic. AARRRRGHHHH! The remedy? Only a few thousand dollars to have it fixed. Yes, all on the eve of my marathon weekend. Tell me this week gets better...
