Stress Stress and more Stress

So Summer has arrived and things around the house tend to get a little more free flowing. Of course my job is in HIGH stress mode. They are starting a new dept (of which I am part of) and out of 11 people four of us have been doing the job for the last six months and the rest are BRAND NEW. So it is up to us the four more expericnce to train the others. I want to change my name. I thought a two year old was bad but now I have two (sometimes three) people, calling my name and asking for help. Is not that I mind giving the help or answering the questions but its hard to get my own job done, not to mention I am being trained to do a new part of the job.... So Stress has become my middle name. And to top it off things aren't rolling along at home the way that I would like them to, so that is adding to the stress. I need a few days off and away from everyone. But that isn't going to happen any time soon. I just want to complain a little so here it is! Damn its not fair that I have to be the one to fix dinner after a long day at work, do the laundry, and the shopping. ::: stamping my foot::: But of course when I bring it up the DH and he just says that the kids can fend for themselves and it really doesn't matter that they dont get what I call a proper dinner. They will survive on cereal for dinner... he is right that once in a while its perfectly okay to have "snack" for dinner and not a real dinner but not on a regular basis. So if I want dinner then I have to cook it myself. It really doesn't seem fair but oh well, I am trying to find things that dont add more stress to my life and in some way may reduce the stress and I am still looking. I think I am losing it I can't remember what things I have done and what things I haven't done. I know this will all get better people at work are getting trained more and more each day. And home will get better also. Its just right now I need a sanity break...

OK, I see the problem here. You're being an ADULT. Mature and stuff. It's the number one cause of stress, being mature.

You could try doing only your own laundry for a while. Don't say anything! Just...do your own laundry (OK, maybe 2-year-olds, too), and nobody else's. Then when the horde starts yelping, you can sigh heavily and say, "Well, if ONLY I didn't have all this cooking, cleaning and shopping to do AFTER A FULL DAY WORKING, maybe I could wash your socks...I'll try to get around to it LATER, how's next Tuesday for you...?"

It's never really worked around our place, but it can be a fun way to let off some steam. "Hmm, out of underwear, how sad for you! Have you turned it inside out? How about a quick rinse in the sink with some dish soap...?"

BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
