And I didn't feel as aggravated or tired or put upon as usual :-). That reinforces for me that a fair amount of my angst of late has been focused around "scorekeeping" -- the sense that I'm doing too much and h not enough....if I can get out of that mode (as I did this week as I had no choice), things feel much better.
I'm ashamed to say that even without any kids, I fall into this trap quite often, and it is hard work to re-balance myself. In my case, I often find that when I drop some of the things I have taken on, NG either picks them up, or frankly they were not so important anyway. Granted, with kids this is less of an option. But just wanted to throw in the idea, maybe some of the tasks can be re-designed.
