Somewhat Stressed

I have people coming over for dinner tonight, my house is a disaster, I need to be ready to take wallpaper off my dining room by Thursday, heading to Rapid on the weekend and have people coming on Friday night. As well as, Bible study, softball, committee meeting, hair cut, and 3 shows to close.

Why does it seem that in the summer things take twice as long as they would have in the winter??? Or it is just the 2 kids versus 1. Or have days grown shorter? Or am I slower?

Also, I feel much more stressed in the summer when it's nice and sunny and beautiful. I'm much more relaxed in the winter when its grey and cold and drab. Does this say bad things about my personality? Or is it the grey and drab that causes one to feel the need to be cozy and stress free?

I think summer makes me think I am superwoman. It's always in the nicest part of summer that I get these crazy ideas to paint and rip down wallpaper and have bbq's and play softball and join Bible Studies, and get my hair cut and have company over a LOT more often....etc...

I know this is almost heresy, but I {almost} can't wait for winter. Then I can bake without waiting for a "cool" day, find solace in the fact that I didn't make it out of the house that day, and drink coffee without ice.

My conclusions: I AM busier in the summer, and therefore more stressed. However, I'm not TOO busy, it's just that when I'm busy I still take the time to play outside with Kaden, and that gives me a few less hours each day. In the winter, I could be the same amount of busy, but easily fore-go outside playtime and not feel so stressed. But I'm not giving up my outside time!
