Reviewing my life

I was reading some of my older posts and realized that I have the same "stuff" going on that I did 2 years ago. Busy life, cranky kids, messy house...so... same life, different day, I guess. I don't know whether I should feel sad or relieved, really. Is this what it's going to be like, until my kids move out? Am I going to feel like a crazed, exhausted, overworked maniac for the next 18 years? Will I just move to a place of acceptance? I guess these are my choices to make. After reading several posts I did realize that, even though my situation has not changed much, the way that I deal with it has. I don't freak out as much, I don't worry as much and I don't "do" as much! I have gotten better at priorities (kids and family before work) and at taking time for myself and leaving the guilt behind. Still climbing, still trekking, still hoping!
