You know you are stressed when..

I had the worst dream last night. I woke up late, I had 3 friends (the girls from sex in the city -all except Carrie - that must have been me) come over and just sit on the couch and want to talk to me. My husband was home and trying to get ready for work while fixing the computer, my other friend came over with her 2 kids and was trying to chat with me, the kids were late for school and hadn't eaten yet, my son had peed his pants, I had 2 very large Christmas trees in my front room that were shedding needles like crazy and to top it all off, 4 teenage girls had broken into the house. Needless to say I was relieved when I woke up...until I realized that we had slept in by quite a bit.

The good news is that I fed the kids and got them to school before the 2nd bell rang. So that is way better than my dream!

I feel like I have things piling up around me. Now I know that it's not that bad, I have cleaned the house, and it's still clean. I did a bunch of phone calls for volunteers last night, I have the kids schedule written up. I think the fact that I have a bunch of overlaps in the next few weeks is making me a bit crazy. My husband has been working REALLY long hours trying to get a project done on time. The kids have soccer evaluations on the same day, and almost the same time as their piano lessons. They also have evaluations that are at the same time as a meeting that we have with the school board of trustees. I can get it all done, if I have help rom my husband, and if traffic doesn't get in my way! I used to dread June because it got so busy, but we are only in March!!

Most of the things we have going on are good things, I am not dreading any of them, so that helps. The kids and I have been asked to make a presentation to the School board of trustees about why our school is great, which I am terribly flattered by.

I just have to remind myself to calm down, breathe deeply and make sure I keep on top of things before they get out of hand. I also need to make sure that I schedule in a day for me to relax! That will help.
