on a side note, Hendrix has been making this funny face when he wants something. He LEANS (and he's big, so it sometimes knocks me over) and sticks out his eyeballs.

thanks.
haha.. thanks everyone. hope it didn't seem like i was fishing for compliments on my motherhood. You all were so nice in your comments. i was hoping for some real suggestions like: waking up and saying "Happy, happy, happy" while spinning around 5 times or to eat 18 oz of chocolate every day. but thank you everyone-- thanks for thinking my house is always clean. and thanks for thinking i'm a happy/nice person. i promise to lay off the magazine quizzes for a while :)

I don't think I could stick out my eyeballs if I wanted to. That's funny.
If you wanted black magic you should have said as much. Here are a few practical suggestions:
1) Meth. You'll have to get used to losing your teeth and hair (and probably not living to see Hendrix graduate), but you'll get 22 hours of work done every day and you'll have a spotless house. Why do you think that Utah has such a high incidence of meth use?
2) Watch Oprah and do whatever she says. Although each individual idea might be bad, she'll give you a new one to try by the time you realize that her last suggestion was garbage. Think of it as yo-yo psychology.
3) Drive through a poor neighborhood or watch reality TV. You'll feel better by comparison.
Honestly, I think that a lot of people suffer from anxiety and stress. There are a lot of causes for anxiety, and just as many things you could do to fight it. As long as you don't put too much faith (or good money) believing in a silver-bullet cure, there are a lot of good things you could do to feel less anxietal. You could try yoga or stretching, eating more healthily, breathing exercises, or even getting a prescription for anti-anxiety pills.

Amber, after reading your last post, I'm a little...relieved to know that I'm not alone. Seriously. What would life be like without ups and downs?! When I have an "off" day, it makes me that much more motivated to counter it with an "on" day. I too feel like I'm a mostly optimistic person, but that doesn't stop me from feeling a little stressed when my kids are sick and off schedule (I'm a schedule-natzi right along with ya!) Just know that you are not alone! We all have to take this Mommy stuff one day at a time (and support each other with good play-dates and mall chats)!!!
