Anyone see my marbles rolling by?

The lady I share my office with is out for two week due to knee surgery. This means I am working with the boss’s wife. She is a lovely Belgian lady about 70 yrs old. She hasn’t worked here for years, speaks broken English and…well, this means I am doing all the work. This morning she asked me a question that was only half in English. When she saw the look on my face she said “Oh, Flemish just came out of my mouth”. Of course I immediately looked at my shirt, searching for phlegm!
I am not easily rattled but I feel like I may cry at any minute. My heart is racing, I am all flustered, and I feel like I am being buried alive. Is this what it feels like when you “loose it”?
