I never knew STRESS till now
Oh man, stress can come and go. Especially with two children running all over you. I always thought, "hey, everyone gets stressed out with life once in a while." But I have been stressed out for about a month and I can feel the grey hairs appearing. None yet, but they are right on the surface, I can feel it. I never knew how hard it would be to have a house on the market. This is our first experience with that and I thought, "once it's on the market, we are home free and can worry about other things." Wrong!!!!! Now I find myself taking the phone everywhere with me in the house, just in case my realtor calls me. I check my phone to make sure it's still working about every hour. I go online to realtor.com to see if our house is still on it, and oh my it's still there. I could only imagine the stress if I actually lived in that house. I would have to follow Donovan everywhere just to make sure that he doesn't touch anything. Looking at my current house, I made a list of all the things that I feel need to be done soon. It turns out to be over 20 items on my list!!! I don't need a new floor right this second. Nor do I need to set up the bed for the new baby (I'm only 29 weeks, I still have plenty of time). I don't need to peel my wallpaper off my kitchen walls. I feel like if I don't do it soon, the entire kitchen with self destruct. I need to just say to myself, "hey, just take it one day at a time and try to empty a box while Donovan is napping."But I know that this cycle will never stop and there will always be something there the stress me out, whether it's the kids, the new kid, my dog, my house, my neighbor, my calling, it will never end. But at least I have those things to make my life interesting. I would be pretty bored without them.
