Aaaaaahhh!!!

So, I think I may have solved a little of my stress issues!

I have been taking care of a friend's 9 month old, my SIL's dog and my own darlings. It was really hard at first, but then I thought I had it under control.

That was until I wigged out on Aaron. He totally didn't deserve it and I owe him some big and fancy dinner or something to make up for it.

The night before last, I had had my fill of being mauled by children and dogs and I was completely stressed out. It carried over to yesterday and I blew up at Aaron. He has been working so hard at teaching, trying to finish his masters' degree and being a great husband and father, that he didn't deserve the added stress I gave him.

Anyway, I think a lot of what it comes down to is hormones and not getting chances to calm down and de-stress throughout the day. (Also, my current crochet project has been frustrating me. Crochet is a great de-stressor for me, so that just made things worse.)

Anyway, lately, I try to relax while the two little ones sleep and Luke has some video game time. The dogs have been wrestling, growling and barking like crazy!! I get so frustrated with them and I yell to try to make them stop and not wake up the kids.

But, the good news is that Daisy will be here in the mornings rather than the afternoons, so I can have some peace and quiet during the day!! I think I can be a much better wife and mommy, now!!

Note: I am usually not a stressed out person. I let most things roll off my back or sleep them off and I am great and relaxed again in the morning. Therefore, I don't think I handle stress very well since I've not really had to very often...
