Short fused...

Do you ever have one of those days where you feel like the littlest things make you want to snap?? Well, I seem to be having a lot of those days lately. Preston likes to call it "short fused"!
I hate having these kinds of days because it seems that the people that get the brunt of it...are the people I love the very most. My kids and of course, my never annoying husband!!
I'm not sure what is making me feel this way. Stress maybe? But what would I be stressed about? Money? Kayston and school?? Keeping the house clean and getting dinner made?? What my kids are going to be like when they're older?? Adding to our family? All of these things are very possible!!
I try to get rid of my stress by running, but sometimes I feel like it almost adds to the stress. Finding time to go, not wanting to leave my family and just getting my butt out the door is sometimes a challenge.
Anybody have any stress relieving tips that seem to work?? I'll try anything at this point!

Oh, and be careful not to look at me wrong cause I might just bite your head off!! =)

I just love you so much! People tend to think that there is NO stress when you are a stay-at-home Mom. Well, that's just CRAP!

I'd say make sure you take a good multivitamin, extra B Complex, and drink LOTS of water. And yes, chocolate really DOES make you feel better!

Start EVERY day with a sincere on-your-knees prayer, and when you have a moment, bury your nose in the scriptures. And do something nice for someone outside your home. Even just a phone call.

You amaze me with your drive to improve yourself! AND...I think you are doing a great job!

This really surprised me. You always seem so calm and happy. But I am so glad to know that you are normal! I definitely have days like that, feel stressed over a bunch of things, and feel like I need to be doing so many things better. Hang in there! You're not alone!

Becoming Buddhist has helped me...j/k. I actually do like some of their philosophies though. Stay attentive to what stresses you and start the process of elimination. Don't bite off more than you can chew?

I think you're doing great and handling things like a normal 'life is crazy and doesn't slow down' human being. :)

Oh Keri! I can't believe you wrote about this subject. This is exactly how I've felt lately!! I blame a lot of it on a new baby and the Winter blues. I think it's just part of being a stay at home Mom.

I love the way I feel after I run but I can't say I enjoy it. Exercise just isn't fun for me unless it's maybe gardeing...I'm such an old lady :)
