Craving Schedules - Written June 20, 2013

One of the things I loved about the years of continual stress is that normal every day things didn’t really seem to bother me. And now that I live with little stress and am taking steps to try and regulate my hormones due to stress overload – well the tiniest thing sends me into a total freak out now.  I feel very bad for my husband all the time.

I continually make fun of my family for their ‘rigid’ schedules. Certain activities take place on certain days, step daughter has to sit on a certain side of the car or she is thrown off – small things and I have realized that I too am a lover of schedules. I grew up in a tidy home where life was predictable. Dinner was served at a certain time. 10-15 meals were rotated, we cleaned on Thursday nights before E.R. and there was a rhythm. And without that in my adult life, I am completely thrown for a loop. This week as we prepare for the big trip without the scheduled things I crave I realize how much I need it. Oh and a tidy home. Schedule, tidy home and a feeling of everything in its place and I am good.
