I've noticed that the accumulation of seemingly small, petty things can cause me the greatest stress at times! Maybe because it's the simple things, which can be avoided with very little effort on my family's part, yet they insist on driving me to the brink of insanity. Here's the short list. ( feel free to add yours)
1. Waiting until I get in the shower to decide they need to use the bathroom! (I make a BIG announcement, and give them ample time to "go" before I attempt to go shower!)
2. I could go all day without a phone call, UNTIL my hands are wet from washing dishes.
3. Doing laundry is like a scavenger hunt because NO ONE knows what a clothes hamper is.
4. I'm never more popular than I am when I am BUSY! People only seem to want or need something from me when I'm doing something else.
5. People who call, but really don't have anything to say. (They'll ask a few questions about what your doing, then run out of things to talk about, but keep you on the phone listening to dead silence. HANG UP ALREADY!)
......I have more to add, but I'm being interrupted again......
