Finding balance - stressful or stress reliever?

Tonight, I was home by 5:00 p.m. even though on the way home, I made a list of 12 loose ends that need to be resolved within 4 days (new business opens in 4 days). Seeing them in writing and seeing what that list of loose ends consisted of, made them less overwhelming. I've been able to handle a couple of minor items since being home, but the rest of this evening (well, okay.... at least until the kids go to bed, will be spent with them - 100% engaged.)

A late night last night has us all tired and irritable. The hubby and kids met me at the new salon to do some electrical work. The kids are use to being in bed at 8:00 and it was 11:00 p.m.!! Super late night and tonight, they are both so ready for bed - early! Unfortunately, he is provoking them and causing tears and unnecessary yelling, screaming and stress. Ugh!This is theh hard part.... trying to support the kids without alienating him.

It has felt good hanging out for the evening...putzing around getting everyone ready for the day tomorrow. A fire in the fireplace makes a cozy atmosphere on a cold wet evening. Personalities have finally simmered down as we near bedtime. Peace and rejuvenating rest only a few minutes away for the kids. I hope to be able to find work to do on the computer, while enjoying the fire and coziness of hanging out. That's where I find my peace in the day. It's cozy, quiet, and focused or chilling out.

Sorry my thoughts today are all over the place. That's where my mind is. Hopefully, soon my list of loose ends will be resolved and tied up, so my mind can be more focused and quiet.
