Counting my Steps

I think I am experiencing a bit of anxiety! I know that Heavenly Father will not give me anything that I can not handle. I also know that he expects us to make wise choices with our daily activities. I think I have gone over the top! Today I went to Provo, the poor customers at Sports Authority saw a pregnant women with two children running all over the place and she had lost it. For one simple return I had to wait in a line that look like a after Christmas special was going on. I stood in line, controlled my kids well until the man told me he could not return my item without my Drivers license. Before I left home I looked for my DL and couldn't find it. I had taken it out and put it with my quilting stuff when I went the the retreat.
Back to my story the lady behind me before I could do or say anything put her merchandise on the counter and he started to ring her up. I asked if I could use my husbands DL #, because I didn't want to drive all the way down again. Jack and Aiden at this point went crazy! I tried to call Brian to see if I could get his number then finally called my reliable resource at the Sheriffs department and got my DL number. I had to then stand in line again and wait! Needless to say, I had cramps from trying to grab my kids and keep them still, I was upset and frustrated that I had to stand in line all over again. I was not rational, and neither were my kids, I found myself saying things like "I didn't need my DL # to purchase the product, why do I need it to return it?" I was not happy. Don't they have a pill for people like me!
I am going to work on slowing down and realizing that if my yard doesn't get done... I will.... just....
work on it next year....
Move....
I am not sure but it will be OK.

On a much happier note:
Brian has been so helpful lately, I asked him today
"have you been trying extra to help me with the kids?"
He laughed and made some sarcastic comment about how much he has done etc...
I told him really, I don't know if it is because I am just so worn out but I have noticed little things that you have done that seem so hard for me to do and it has meant a lot!

"Thanks"
