Well today it's DH sick in bed with bronchitis. Such a baby. I HATE it when he's sick.

But really for me it's the days that are too short.

Worrying about kids...not the kids themselves, though. They're great stress relievers at times

The end of a relationship.

School is stressful, incredibly stressful, yes, and I thought of saying school, but... once the exam is over (so long as you passed ) the stress is over. There are things that you can do to help ensure that you do well also. In a relationship ending there is a lot of pain and stress that doesn't just go away after a certain date.

sickness/ death
Divorce (I think--I hope I never know)

Clients who alway run late (esp. when they are booked before the ones who always come in early!! )

Worrying unnecessarily causes the most stress in life. I'm a walking advertisement for stress.

everyone's health

Loss of a loved one ....

 

[CamColt]

Definitely kids! (at least for me)

 

[Mamu]

I think seeing one of your children or loved one go through a terrible sicknesss and wondering if the treatments are a cure or not.

Well on my day to day schedule I would say:

1) My KIDS...messy, backtalking, need to be clothed, and take them here and there...

2) Health, mine and my kids...I am NEVER 100% well EVER!! I HATE THAT!

3) Money...too much debt
