ugh

I think I may be a little stressed out ...

The reason I think so is because for the second time in less than a week I have wanted to throttle someone for making me angry (neither person was one of my children).

I usually am able to get along* with everyone even if I don't like them, don't agree with them, or if they say something that bothers me. In general, I am difficult to offend because I can usually see things from multiple perspectives and understand what prompted them to say what they did (even if it was tactless, offensive, or inconsiderate).

[*Note: This does not mean that I am all sweet and sugar with everyone because although I do try to be polite and respectful with everyone, if I am anything, I try to be genuine.]

Anyway, after today's experience with one of my unfavorite people, I really wanted to scream, left the area with less grace & lots of frustration, and cried. This is definitely not like me!

Stress, surely that is the cause?! Yes?! (hopefully)

Sorry to hear that. I think you're right about the stress thing, because I know you're not the fly-off-the-handle type. Praying that the stress level gets better for you.
