This is so relatable, Sally! It can really build up to the point that it is getting on your nerves so much, you can't even fake it anymore!

It sounds like such a nice, quiet time away for you. You've really taken on a lot and when you are stripped of your quiet time, it definitely doesn't end pretty! Glad you are taking care of you first, so that you can be there again for everyone else, like you always will. That's just in your nature but caretakers need a break, too.
