Does this sound familiar? Arriving home from a rough day at the office, you open the door to discover the kids are screaming, the house is a mess, the dog ran away, and the first words you hear are, "What's for supper?"
Or your boss just told you if you don't improve you might be let go. Pass the espresso, barista!
How about this one? You wake up at six a.m. to get all of the kids dressed, pack their lunches, then load everyone into the Suburban; you buckle their safety belts, then take your eight-year-old to the elementary school and drop him off, and then transport your three-year-old twins to daycare. Then you are 20 minutes from work and you are stuck in a traffic jam making you late for your 9 a.m. meeting. Then when you get to work you get a phone call that your eight-year-old is sick and needs to go home. Do you know stress? Pass the Advil. Where's the Wellbutrin?
