When you don't have enough stress... create some!

I do not know how the rest of you do it. I just cannot find the time, or sometimes the energy, to get out here and post. I'll have all these ideas all day long, but when I finally sit down either children interrupt me 20 times, and I cannot work that way, or it is after they've gone to bed and I am just to doggone tired to do it. Eventually I have to pick and choose from several ideas and some just get tossed. Like my Purgatory series there. I was planning to keep going with that, because there is some really interesting stuff in that interview, but I feel like I've lost my momentum.

Part of my latest time problem is that I have discovered Facebook. Yikes! I am totally addicted. Like Mandy said in her post on it, Cassie has discovered that she cannot get enough of talking about herself in the third person. I have caught up with old friends and am staying in better touch with current friends too. It's so easy to stay in touch when you're just doing it in sound bites! But, with limited computer time, this new diversion is really keeping me from my regular task list. It's like how I had to stop using Seasons Pass on the Tivo because my task list got too long there too. It got so that I was stressed out about all the shows I had to watch! I really know how to make stress up when life doesn't give me any real stress don't I?

Well, I'll leave you with this. I've never published pictures of my kids before, but I am so proud to say that Johanna is really learning stress management early on:
