Kids Have Stress Too

February 25th, 2010



Happy Thursday Everyone!

I have a kiddo home today.  He has a lot of stress going on right now.  He needs a day.

Sometimes we forget that our children are people too.  They have thoughts and feelings and stress and anxiety and fear just like adults do.  And while the things they are stressed out about aren’t a really big deal in the long run, they are the most important things in their life, which to them, makes it just as large, ominous and imposing as anything that might be stressing you out.

I don’t advocate skipping school, but given the nature of what’s happening for him in school right now and the facts that he tried to stay home this morning, then called from the nurses office “nauseated”, and they only have a half day today anyway, I went and picked him up.  I thought he might be faking the belly ache, but then I considered that when I’m stressed out, my belly hurts too.

Cancer stimulates emotional rapport between people.  Pinpoints needs, supports growth and nurturance.  Tend to domestic concerns.

That’s where the moon has been the past couple of days and I’d intended to rest.  I’m glad I went with that because that meant I had nothing else happening while I was in the school standing up for some pretty incredible injustices upon my son.  What a HIGHLY emotional day yesterday was!! For ALL of my clan.

But I do believe there was a pinpointing of needs and it was certainly a fantastic situation for some growth.  When emotions run high though, I find myself simply exhausted!

Having that beautiful moon today begin Her transit through Leo should help me recover from the exhaustion I’m feeling from such an emotional couple of days.

Today, Thursday (2-25-10) @ 12:48pm EST, the Moon v/c until 8:08pm this evening.

Calming rest and relaxation. That is what I’m ALL about on this beautiful day.  I had a pretty large snag in my morning, but I got a fantastic cup of coffee and went through my morning wake up time aimlessly on my laptop.  Then after everyone left for the day, I set my alter and lit a candle and prayed for relaxation and love and guidance.  I prayed for happy and peace filled days for everyone in my life and everyone in their lives too.  Most especially the ones I know that are in need of the peace. *winks@Annie

I’m REALLY sold on setting an alter every morning.  It REALLY has an effect on my mood.  If any other day had started the way this one did, I’d have lost the entire day.  Today, I laugh and move on.

When She rights her course @ 8:08pm EST, she’ll move into Leo where she’ll remain, from Thursday evening until 3:15pm EST on Saturday (2-27-10).

My almanac says: Leo draws emphasis to the self, to central ideas or institutions, away from connections with others and emotional needs.  People tend to be melodramatic.

Well, I intend to find some relaxation no matter what!  But it’s looking like overall, it’s literally not in the cards.  The seven of staffs tells me that I’m to be waging war.  I need to stand my ground and be swift and sure.

I’d figured we’d be dealing with the school for the rest of the week and I guess I was right.  I cannot allow injustice upon children.  Now, however, I know that I’m being fully supported by the Universe in this undertaking… Not that there was ever a question.
