Now that I have teen children I remember back to my wonderful teen years!! I was on the go from the time I got up until the time I went to bed. I always enjoyed being on the go, having a full schedule!! So now why is it so much tougher on me now that I am an adult with a family ?? And DON'T SAY it is because I'm old!!
I wonder if my problem is I let the added responsibilities of a household get to me? When I'm on the run all the time the house doesn't get cleaned (even though I have wonderful children that help me do most of it) and the meals don't get cooked (I'm working on that one with my wonderful children) and the laundry doesn't get done!! I am learning to take "One Day At A Time" although if you don't schedule your month out in advance, things don't get done or you schedule more than you can do in a day. I think if I had a maid and chef to take care of the cleaning and the cooking (I don't mind doing the laundry) then I would not feel as much stress!! But since I know that won't ever happen, I need to learn to be more organized and not feel guilty if everything doesn't get done on the day I think it should get done!!

Well...I won't call you old, but I AM old....yes, I know we are the same age, LOL, but some of us handle aging better than others. I think that I have a lot more stress now, of a different kind than I had when I was younger, AND I don't handle stress as well now. Dirty clothes and dishes stress me out more now than they did when I was younger. I hate for things to pile up.
Something else I hate is always feeling like I am in a hurry. I should never feel this way. I have more time than most people to accomplish tasks, but I always feel like I don't have enough time.
My mother admits to being old. ...older. Same difference. I'm hungry. Whats for dinner? I'M KIDDING!!!! I'll just be leaving now. *sprints away*

Mom of oh pink one that will doing dishes by herself for the next month if she doesn't behave herself!!! hehehe
Yes, I agree. You should start behaving. Now do your chores before you have to do them all by yourself.
It helps to read over comments before you submit.
