But, it seems so much more intense these days. Do you think it really is more intense? We certainly are expected to get more done in a day, but do we feel the pressure any more acutely than did our ancestors? I just wonder if our biochemical response to "so much to do" in today's world is the same as it was 200 years ago. Being stressed out w/ too much to do certainly isn’t a new concept.

I don't have to be a closet dishwasher any more! And here I thought I was the only one who likes to wash dishes. Another domestic favorite that helps me when I'm overwhelmed w/ too much to do is folding clothes. Putting them away doesn't do it for me, but give me a load of laundry to fold and I'm flying high. I guess it's has something to do w/ making order out of chaos-but who cares why it does what it does? As long as it works, I'm happy! Oh, yeah! I don’t have to be a closet dishwasher any more!

And, it came not a moment too soon! I had flashbacks of my mom when I was a little girls hanging up the phone w/ great exasperation. Then, the words, "Why can't I say no?" would always be muttered. I never understood what that was all about, but boy I do now! I am going to take this list with me everywhere and whip it out when I have one of those moments! Elisha, I loved this blog!
