So, I think I was just really stressed yesterday. As I've thought about various things today, I have come to a conclusion: Commitment stresses me out. I'm a huge home-body. Even though I like getting out from time to time, I'm most happy at home. I don't like having much of a set schedule or time commitments to meet (for the most part). I like my lists, but I like to do them on my own time. Having to commit to call someone on a certain day at a certain time is too much for me. Having something to do for others that hangs over my head stresses me out. Anyway, I don't know if that makes any sense, but whatever. :) Thanks again for all your caring comments yesterday. Hopefully I'll catch whatever you caught, little Miss Julie!

Better day & commitment phobia?
Today has been a much better day. (Teaching preschool drove me crazy, but that's another story. At least I don't have to do it again until the end of April.) I pushed through wanting a nap & got a few things done. Sydney's sick with the bad sore throat that Randy's had. She has slept a lot this afternoon & evening. She did keep me great company while I worked out tonight, which is always appreciated! She even told me I was the best mom in the whole world--without any prompting. I'm glad she thinks so...after all, isn't it most important that my kids think that versus anyone else? Oh, and a sweet friend gave me and my girls a month pass to Jumping Jacks & invited us on another fun excursion later this week. Thank you! And, despite the horrible wind today, I was outside for a few moments and discovered one little white crocus that has bloomed!

OK, your last paragraph that you wrote made me realize that we are twins! Everything you said, I know what you mean! Thanks for pointing all that out to me.
I'm very much the same way. I like getting out and having fun and having things to do, but only when I feel like it...and the truth is, the majority of the time I like to just stay home.
that makes sense-- especially with kids the time commitment really stresses me out too. Having to be at church every Sunday-- anxiety attack!! I do like to go out, but not at a certain time.
I noticed the little white flower, too! I also noticed that when I came over I had mascara under my eyes because i hadn't even showered yet at noon...
I'm the same same way!!! Thanks for your comments on my blog. I guess we all have bad days/weeks. I just got called to be primary chorister and it stresses me out so bad--being in front of people. Staying home is wonderful. And I'm glad you've got a crocus blooming. I'm still waiting for spring here!
Oh that stinks Sydney has a sore throat! And I'd love to hear the pre-school story!
I love crocus! I'm jealous you have some! Glad to hear things are going better. I think we tend to have the awful days so that the good ones stand out all the more. Not saying I like the bad days, but...I figure there has to be some balance to the worlds so if I have x amount of really bad days I am going to have x amount of really good days!
So did your house blow away yesterday? Mine almost did. Sheesh!
Keri, you are blessed with such wonderful friends!
