This could be/should be under the "what's bugging you" and prayer requests.... I had a melt down....call it stress, call it hormones, I don't know..... Between DD and the wonderful age of 4, DH leaving me at home 2 days before we are hosting 16 people, trying to finish up last min. DIY gifts....I feel overwhelmed..... I called DH (who is not home and at a friends house) bawling. He didn't make me feel any better....he actually made me MORE mad..... I threw my phone. And now the screen doesn't work. (this is not my usual behavior.) Thanks for letting me get this out.....

Hang in there, Quirky!! This time of year can be really, REALLY stressful, and I don't blame you for going a bit off the deep end if you feel like you have too much to do, not enough time, and no support. So don't be too hard on yourself. Just remind yourself that you're not Supermom, no one is, and that sometimes we as women put too much pressure/ expectations of perfection on ourselves and then get frustrated when our vision doesn't work out and the stress starts to build. We all do it at some point, but we should try to be more loving and easier on ourselves. And I know that I need to take my own advice on this!!! Hah! (HUGS)

Not to mention that around the holidays we're even harder on ourselves. We have this picture in our head of what we'd like, plus expectations of family traditions, gift giving, memories of Grandma's house growing up etc. etc. etc. and all of that is just not realistic!!!
