Thanks again mizjjd! I agree, I need to get out of the house more often for some "me" time without the children, as I am a stay at home mother, and for sure I would be less "stressed" if I could get away more often. It's funny that my husband's complaint was that I was too "stressed", although what he is doing by working away in the basement is exactly what is causing me to be more stressed/not giving me the relief that I need.
