4/10/08 We complain when we're too stressed out. "There's not enough time to cook, do dishes, sweep the floor, change poopy butts, make lunches" !!! ETC, Than I'm supossed to take a shower, look good, like I'm put together or something AND work a full time job? What one woman can accomplish in 24hrs is amazing. I think this is the ONLY way that I can function. Under stress and pressure at all times. At home with all of my crazy kids and their demands at all times but also work and critical patients, death and dying. I don't think I know what "normal" is. What is normal anyway? Ok, maybe I should say normal stress levels. Well, I have had the last 2 weeks off from work and the stres levels definitely have decreased big time. Why? Well, because I'm not awake all night long and than coming home to do kid/family stuff before I can sleep. Now, now I just don't know what to do. I feel like a lost animal. My routine is messed up and I frankly just can't function under normal levels of stress. My brain can't function under normal levels of stress. I need stress. Lots of it to feel normal, so my brain can think again. I never thought that I would EVER be saying this. |
