Stressed out

I've been totally stressed out these days. First, I thought it was due to the time change and adjusting the kids back to schedule from Japan. Then, Pat thought it was PMS. After getting past both of these, I am still stressed. It's bad because little things that Pat does irritates me more than usual. And I make nasty comments which gets him upset. I really need to snap out of it. On the positive side, I lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks because of it.

So this weekend, it was good to take a trip to Connecticut for my friends' wedding. Before we went, I asked my friends if it was OK to bring the kids and they gave a nod. But I was surprised to find that there were no other kids at the wedding. Still, both Terran and Sierra behaved surprisingly well. They were both happy during the whole 5 hours that we were there. They ate, they laughed, they ran around, and they were sweet to the people around us. I am so proud of them!
