I also have the same style of personality and I don't know how much more of our busy I can take. My grandmother got sick toward the end of Feb. recovered a little then died. We weren't close so my heart doesn't hurt that way, but all of the drama from dealing with my aunt and mother concerning this and cleaning out the Grandma's house, which is down my street, has made me so "brittle." Still trying to plan for my daughter's wedding and graduation next week and the house needing some work this spring. I KNOW how you feel. I long for the return of routine. (probably way more info here than you really wanted to know…sorry….but my real life friends can do "busy" so well that I feel like a basket case for not being able to handle it well.)

Wow, you're a lot busier than I am! That's a lot of life changes all at once. I can imagine how stressful that would be. I don't do "busy" well at all, and sometimes I also feel like the only one in my circle of friends who gets stressed out at being constantly busy.
Praying for peaceful days for you, Christy! ♥

When I read this post it sounded like I wrote it! 🙂 I think our personalities are carbon copies of each other. Routines are essential to my life, as are quietness, and order….a total introvert. Change is SO hard! We're moving soon, so you can imagine how chaotic it will be 🙂
Blessings to you!

We do sound very similar, Sara! I just got home from being gone for 9 hours, taking a child to an appointment in a town almost 2 hours away, then squeezing in some grocery shopping. I'm thankful I can stay home tomorrow to recuperate!
I pray all goes well with your move–I know how chaotic and stressful that can be!
