You have accomplished so much! I, too, have been that crazy woman yelling like a banshee when I've taken on too much. We've all been there. Good for you for realizing it.

I know; I'm the same way when I'm trying to clean the house and pack before we head to the city for a week. The girls are always more underfoot (I think they're still afraid they'll get left behind!) and the more I try to get done, the more they seem to UN-do.... and then mommy starts yelling. It's so stressful, putting pressure on ourselves to be perfect. I mean really, if my house is never neat and tidy when we're at home, it doesn't make sense for it to be that way while we're gone!! So I've given that up. If my house is a disaster when I start packing up to leave, that's the way it stays.<BR/><BR/>You've accomplished SO much in such a short time, but I'm betting your family is glad to have the REAL YOU back! I hope you have a wonderful few last days together before you and the kids head out.tammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803890115567631062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-44405842603138492372007-11-29T03:35:00.000+03:002007-11-29T03:35:00.000+03:00Just you has always been just right for me!It is g...Just you has always been just right for me!<BR/>It is good to realize when too much is too much.<BR/>I'm proud of you, kiddo.<BR/><BR/>Leeann----> who apparently looks like a grandma.Leeannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529722995554495470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-46289790564720415602007-11-29T02:29:00.000+03:002007-11-29T02:29:00.000+03:00LOL!

I usually snap and then my husband calmly starts cooking dinner and taking care of the toddler. I found you from Valley Girl =><BR/>http://swanvalleytammi.blogspot.com/<BR/>My husband is lucky I have a food allergy. All our meals would be preservative laden if not. I'm going to go back and read your Better Homes and Gardening posts. I hope you are taking it easy now. <BR/>God BlessK Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426426742522502913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-6013911604961350952007-11-29T01:08:00.000+03:002007-11-29T01:08:00.000+03:00I'm proud of you for taking a deep breath and step...I'm proud of you for taking a deep breath and stepping back into the real world. It's great to have a plan, but it's not so great to have the plan run us. Believe me, I know. Been there, done that!! We put God over here in this neat little corner while we get on with the business at hand, all the while He's watching us and shaking His head waiting for us to collapse into His arms and plead for help. So, not meanly, but I'm glad you finally hit the wall and realized that you, in fact, are not super woman. But, I love you anyway!! Enjoy the last couple days with hubby before the trip. You'll be glad you did that instead of go insane. :-)Mylindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03815825491178384308noreply@blogger.com
