the small stuff stresses

so while kathryn eats her breakfast still, and daniel chews on his toys before i feed him, i found a little time to splurge. i had no idea the little things that could cause so much stress in one's life. things you don't even realize are the cause for your stress. john and i recently moved the furniture around in our tiny apartment to make room for a couch. well, when john brought the couch over, the house wasn't quite ready to receive it, and so the couch just landed in the most inconvienant spot. i had clothes to do, and just general mess to sort through and put in a better place. but after the couch got here i couldn't get anything done. it was like i couldn't think straight, and i was extra irritable. come to find out, the placement of the couch was the root of all this stress and irritation. after i got super angry and had to take a "timeout" in the bathroom i came out and moved the furniture around in the living area. almost instantly, i had a sigh of relief, and the house felt more functional, and the house was so much cleaner it seemed!! wow. that was easy! and now, after 2 days of working through the clutter, the house is neat and clean again! YAY! i can move on to my projects. (i can't seem to get much done when the house is a mess). i am making a dress for me and kathryn, and i'm almost done with kathryns!! WOO HOO! i love sewing. it feels so rewarding. so, when i'm done i'll post pictures here. and when i get a chance, i'll post recent pictures of the kiddos. but daniel is hungry. and so my day continues.
