Stress 101
What does it mean when everything stresses you out? For me it means I’m overwhelmed but it also means I’m off center, which is the same as overwhelmed in my book. I write this entry left handed because my thumb is in a splint from the one two punch of consumer electronics and constantly picking up a growing 14 month old. So even blogging – usually one of my least stressful items is challenging.
I think I believe that Lena Horn was correct when she said it is not the burden that wears you down but how you carry it – or even the more modern put the oxygen mask on yourself first before attempting to help others.
But right now even trying to figure out a way not to feel stressed is stressful.

Into every life some rain must fall, but sometimes the stress makes it more like a flood, but it always gets better–at least enough that we don’t quit trying. Being a mother is very stressful in itself even without all the other stuff. And you have to wait 18 years or more to hear those words, “thanks Mom; couldn’t have done it without you!”

The good thing for Tin is that in 18 years I’ll be senile and so he can say – “See what you did to mess up my life!” and I’ll most likely think he is praising me.
