Currently, I am suffering from SAH Burnout. Symptoms include but are not limited to: An inexplicable desire to run screaming from your house any time someone says "Mom!", daydreams of living in a soft white room with padded walls, visible twitching at the sight (and smell) of another pile of clothes to launder, an irrepressible urge to stay in bed and pull the covers over your head...all.. day.... long, breaking out in hives if you have to sweep up one more pile of crumbs left on the floor after breakfast, and a rash developing at the thought of having to vacuum up crushed Cheerios in your carpet for the umpteenth time.
SAH Burnout patients should be medicated with plenty of chocolate, put on bedrest for at least three days (more may be needed depending on the severity of the symptoms), given a maid service for at least a month, sent to Starbucks for some Chai Tea, and quarantined from all forms of laundry for three months.
I wish...

I think I need the same medication, just from overworking this week! Glad I came by so I would know how to treat myself! :-)

LOL sooo funny, and I can admit sometimes (or in my case, most times) true! Let me know if I can help at all, don't go cleaning crazy just because we're coming over... Love you, breath and relax!
I thought I was the only one who occasionally felt like crying and running when I heard "Mom". I always feel a little guilty when I get like that, but I still get like that. I usually start saying things like - "You know, you do have TWO PARENTS!" "Why do you like me so much, Dad's more fun." "Hold on I can only do 4 things at once."
The tell tale twitch... Oh I hope your getaway cures the twitch!

Awwww!
This gave me a smile. Although I hazard to guess none of it is tongue in cheek! :-)
