The Kari Freakout is legendary. Just ask my mom and sister. It usually comes during times of being overwhelmed and feeling like I have no control. It includes crying and questioning and is followed by copious amounts of sleep.
My whole freshman year of college was a Kari Freakout.
I had said freakout last night. I'm overwhelmed with wedding plans, my job is super stressful, I'm stressed about Eli's business and I'm worried about finances. Which is dumb because our finances are fine, even great if you consider we're a young couple who are just embarking on our careers and have a new house.
But every day all I read and hear about is how awful the housing market is, how the economy is in the toilet, gas prices are up and the dollar is weak.
And I walk around my house and see things that I want to fix or do, but not sure where the money will come from to do it.
And I make wedding plans and see the bills pile up and even though my parents are being incredibly generous and paying, I can't help but feel some guilt.
And then Eli is reading all these books about finances and how to save money and he keeps talking about money and it's not helping. Again, Eli, it's not helping!!!
And all I want to do is just take a really long nap.
Of course this could just all be PMS.

Awwww! It's been sooooooo long since I really, truly experienced a Kari Freakout. I mean, yeah, I've been on the receiving end of phone calls (freshman year was, indeed, a doozy) but it's been nearly 11 YEARS since I really got to witness one. And ya know, I kinda miss it. Hang in there young grasshopper. We all love you and especially love to laugh about the freakouts AFTER the fact! You can call me anytime!
I hope you're drinking to combat the freak out, I hear that it helps. Or maybe you should try drugs? I think picking up an addiction is the only way to truly forget all of it--I mean I watch "Intervention" and it seems to work for everyone on there.
And especially don't email me. I've got no opinion or advice about ANYTHING. I'll just keep quiet.
