LO...Ok, now I am back with a little bit more sleep. LOL. <BR/><BR/>I was like this before we went camping. It took 4 solid days of getting away from everything. I didn't have to worry about too much while there. It was easier, because I only had to worry about the basics, food, clothing and shelter. Other than that nothing was important. I was able to leave all the other junk at home. I know that when we came home it was harder to get use to all the extras. I wondered why we needed everything. I don't know about you, but when there is alot of clutter in my house, my mind is cluttered and I just cannot function anymore. Man I sound like my mom. <BR/><BR/>I worry about my weight all the time. I want the girl that I see in the mirror to look like the one that I see in my mind. I also worry about the example that I am setting for the kiddos. I want to make sure that I am sending the correct example. It is a tough one there. <BR/><BR/>As for the financial aspect..I am not sure what to tell you there. I think that we need to find a money tree!

To top it off, since a heat wave hit, I have been fighting the tendency to be a b&*^% nearly all the time. I really don't have any advice except to concentrate on the things you can control-- like the simplifying, making manageable short-term goals, maybe a list of one room or area per week to sort through and clean. For some reason writing lists and plans helps me ward off insanity. Knowing I'm making baby steps toward solving problems helps too. And of course to try to carve out some time for yourself. Even a few hours of reading time in the evening, when the kids are in their rooms for the night, makes a HUGE difference. I like my mysteries. <BR/>:-D Are you getting any exercise? I'm not practicing what preach, but that seems to be the best thing for anxiety as well as for weight loss.
