And I can totally put away a plate of cookies too, but then I feel tired because of all the sugar and too much sugar for my kids make them bounce off the wall which makes me tired. So that's why sometimes my house is dirty and we stay in our jammies sometimes all day. I used to feel bad about this but not anymore. Hope you feel less tired tomorrow, but you do have a lot on your plate.

Sometimes when I get like that, I try to look at my husband and do it his way - he's kind of worry-free. I know he doesn't worry about the dirty floor or the laundry or the dishes like I do. I mean, I know he worries about some stuff some of the time, but not all stuff, all the time like most women do. Then I realize that he's crazy and doesn't he know that there are 100's of things that need to be worried about? <br /><br />We worry because we care and have a nearly infinite amount of blessings that we're afraid of losing. Better than having no blessings and nothing to worry about...<br /><br />I'm tired of being a stepmom and worrying that I'm a bad one; and I'm tired of being unemployed and living on student loans and studying for the Bar exam; and I'm tired of worrying that I'll fail and never have a job and we'll never move out of our 800 sq. ft. condo; and I'm worried about studying in an un-airconditioned condo with no A/C when it's supposed to be in the 90's this week-end. That was just the worries I've had this past hour or so....Ah, got it all out - now it's back to the books.Hollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-8344856921435892672009-07-24T22:55:07.402-05:002009-07-24T22:55:07.402-05:00I'm sorry you're having such an overwhelmi...I'm sorry you're having such an overwhelming day.

We have decided to let each other have at least 1 night of quiet time each week. We are also calling to find a house keeper tomorrow to deep clean the house every two weeks.
