1. Lately, I have been feeling a little irritated. I don't do well when life is not structured, especially since I was sick. I need to know what the day is going to hold so I can figure out how to balance my energy for the day. This winter break, when people are typically running around doing way too much is just killing me.
2. I am usually a control freak. I've had to learn to let some of that go, though. One thing my husband took over is the invoicing for our business. Giving that up has been a bit stressful. He's actually in working on that now, and he talks to himself while he is doing it. He's not doing it the way I would. That drives me crazy! In the end it's done and done right so I really can't complain.
3. Taking off my shoes is always the best feeling at the end of the day. I used to come home and take off my shoes almost immediately upon entering the house at the end of a long day. On work days this was especially enjoyable because I got to signal to myself a job well done. Unfortunately I am now not allowed to walk around barefoot as we try to build up the arch in my feet. The massage therapist wants me to have as much support as I can have as often as I can. Fifteen minutes in the morning and fifteen at night without shoes is what we are shooting for. Now taking off my shoes at night is REALLY the best feeling!
4. Going to the bathroom, taking my Synthyroid, and checking my email is the first thing I do in the morning. If I don't start the day in this order anything that comes after just doesn't feel right.

I'm a control freak too! I didn't realize I was one for a longggg time. Teaching my girls to drive revealed it!
I love to take my shoes off at the end of the day, too. Nothing feels quite as good.
Oh, I could not even begin to imagine what it would be like to teach my daughters to drive! When I was a teen both of my parents got frustrated with me, and my neighbor had to teach me to drive stick. The driving instruction will definitely be left to Dad or Grandpa!
I am MUCH grumpier when my life is unstructured too. I am a creature of routine and happiest when my house is clean--hmm, I rhymed :)
Ah, the clean house, Kristin. That has made a big difference, too. WHY can't my kids clean up after themselves?
I am a control freak too... Love that we share the taking off the shoes!
Thanks for stopping by Hilary. I've noticed a lot of bloggers say they are control freaks. I wonder if there is something to that...
I'm like you when it comes to #1... I like to have a "schedule" and give my day some structure... if I feel like my day is totally out of control I get very irritated. Trying to loosen up a bit about all that... but it's not easy. I love running around barefoot or in fluffy socks. Hope you get to enjoy that feeling soon!!!!
Susi, I've often wondered if I didn't become a teacher simply because it IS so scheduled. I don't know of any other profession that has such structure. When my girls were little some of my family and friends would get mad because we would only hang out if it fit into the schedule I had. It worked for us, though, so I was okay if others were upset! :)
