Why am I Trying To Stay Calm?

I had someone ask me through a comment why I am trying to stay calm. So here's the answer to her question... I am re-posting some of this for all my new followers that haven't see it before :)

My mom is always telling me "calm down my dear". Another reason, HELLO... I have three teenage boys :)

I just got called to teach the Sunbeams. After my first day last Sunday I really need to stay calm :) I am trying to take things minute by minute and some days second by second to stay as happy and calm as possible :) Hope you all have a great day! ♥ Hugs!

    I need to calm down quite a bit too! I love 'calms' an herbal sublingual through Hylands, it really works- my issue is teenage girls!

    Honey, don't try to be calm....embrace the chaos! It's much funner!
    Besides, the true joy comes years later when you watch those teenage boys carry their own screaming little ones out of church after a huge tantrum.....it's a beautiful thing, makes me warm and fuzzy inside!
    Love your blog!

    I can totally relate to the 3 teenage boys...been there done that, (just like Melissa said)
    I used to get so stressed out all the time. Now I hate to say it, but the empty nest gets a little boring for me.

    Of course I don't really know you, but you just seem so sweet and laid back...I'm gonna need some tips about raising teenage boys in a few years...At least all 5 of them can't be teenagers at the same time!

    I would never know that a stress ball existed behind your fun, happy, and relaxing posts!! You're like me, I'm constantly stressed out even when there's nothing to be stressed about, I find stress!

    I've received a few yucky comments over the years, but not too many. It's hurtful though. I say just consider the source and move on. There are too many nice people out there to worry about those that aren't.

    Hugs!
