This is a throughly unprofessional, not even the tiniest bit scientific, for entertainment purposes only, list of signs you have too much stress. I will neither confirm nor deny whether these things have happened to me, personally. Here we go:
You may be too stressed and too tired if:
- You burst into tears when you realize you need to do the dishes, and it's already 11pm
- You stroll down the pillow aisle of a department store, and wonder if you would get caught by store security and/or your children if you climbed into the bins to take a nap
- The Daddy says he's going to go to bed now, and you make him a bottle
- Thoughts of doing the laundry make you break out in hives
- Your planner is so crammed full of appointments and reminders, you can no longer read the dates
- You think anything you receive in the mail that is NOT a medical bill is a present
- You can't remember how many days it's been since you last showered and/or shaved your legs
- Your toddler has been known to say, " Momma cwanky. Her needs time out!"
- Your teenage daughter tells you to go to your room and you not only MIND her, but THANK her as well
- Your only "dates" are the ones on the calendar, and they never mean dinner, movie theaters, night clubs, bars, or concerts
- You know exactly how much square footage one bottle of Nestle's chocolate syrup will cover completely
- Your name is Mom, Momma, Mommy, Mother, Mum, Ma, and/or any variation of the aforementioned.
- Getting a haircut more than once a year has not happened in at least 5 years
- You make lists like this and post them to your blog because you can't keep thoughts together long enough to write about it.

This is painful...because I fit most of these. Just don't have the teenager yet. Help.

#2 for me. I'm sure if I had kids there would be more. But I LOVE sleep and pillows always beckon to me.
I'm totally with you on the fun mail. I used to send friends cards just so they would get good mail... and hopefully return the favor. Now I don't have the time (or money) to spend on a card. I guess comments will have to do! (wink).
Oh, dear! Great list. I hope you enjoy a nap in the bins--sounds fun! :) And I hope you get a night out soon, too.
Thank you for the laugh and reminding me of my reality **laughing**
Yes the mail thing... I get so excited when I get samples in the mail. I embarrass my 16yr old. She now walks in with the mail and lets me know if I got a gift or not.
I have made a bottle for my hubby before too LOL...
I had to look up the word date **laughing** since like yourself we never get one. Heck a 5 min quickie in the middle of the night is as romantic as it gets and that is if I am lucky & actually stay awake for it…
