Stress, Stress, Go away!

Stress:  This is a word that is used too often!  What is stress? Something we can't handle, or events that we allow ourselves to get tangled up in.  Just today, I wanted to scream "Stress, Stress, go away".  I was guilty of taking on more than I could handle in one day.  The kitchen is one of my favorite places.  I love to cook and more than that, I love to bake.  I woke up this morning and was in the kitchen by 6:30 a.m.   This is something I do each morning.  Today, however, it turned into a seven hour job.  It was my job to supply the cookies at our regular Monday night bible study.  If I had just used the exact recipe for the cookies I was going to bake, I could have only had a three hour job.  Does anyone else ever decide to make up your own recipe?  I always have flour in my kitchen...Oh, but not today!  Quick trip to the store and I was back in the kitchen.  Flour everywhere, on me, on my grandaughter, the floor and then I remembered I had to pick up grandkids from school.  Stop, turn the oven off, head out the door for a ten mile drive and fight the after school traffic.  Now if I had just got out of bed this morning and made my way to the store to purchase six dozen cookies, I could have relaxed and been stress free.  Oh the choices we make!
