mary,
You're so sweet! Yeah, I know I should and I know I possibly could, but I'd get bored. That's no better.

Spitfire,
Why not whine? That is, "whine" is such a negative term for saying, "Shit, I am in over my head, I'm too tired to think and my dog is eating my shoes!" Maybe if you juggle a little slower, you can still keep the plates in the air and take a breather.

Cass,
That's for damn sure. I really do think I am the Aries Poster child. I think I know why I do that to myself, though. I realized that if I don't keep myself extremely busy I get bored. When I get bored, I get pissy. I'm really difficult.

Gee, if you didn't announce it in the title of this blog, I would definitely know you are an Aries! We rams always take on more than we can properly chew, and more often than not either choke on the enormity of it all or start spitting things out. Prioritise where you can and just relax and know you are true to your star sign!

Well, thank you Medusa.
But we Aries can also be incredibly impatient. I'm also an Aquarius moon, so I over analyze my feelings constantly!

Hi Spitfire
I'm an Aquarian. I overanalyze the crap out of everything. I'm new to this site. Aries folk are strong leaders and fun people to hang with.

JJ,
You sweet man, you! Thank you. I know he will give me a raise and he's actually trusted me enough to loan me $1500.00 when I told him I'd pay him back within 2 weeks. He's a wonderful man but as far as the business goes, well, he can be a bit stingy and closed minded cause we're small. However, I do the books every night, so I know how much comes in and how much goes out. 
Again, thank you for your sweet comments.

Temple,
Thanks. But, I do get health insurance at work. When I got divorced back in 2000, Doc knew I couldn't live without my husband's insurance cause of my conditions. He made a point to tell me to get insurance for me through the animal hospital and I have had it ever since. But, yeah, the other stuff, yep. We're gonna have to have a talk. SOON. Thanks for everything. Especially listening to my, well, ya know.

Spiff,
Somehow I kind of knew you were doing that. You do need to do something to let pressure off. Don't spend your time off doing only have to do things. Spend at least a very good part of it doing want to do things. When you do have to do things, make them things that will relieve pressure from when you're not on a break--things that are different from your normal routine. As far as money/job things, think about how to best approach a request for a raise, if that's what you want to do. I can't imagine that a manager who has you as ''a right hand man'' is going to turn you down for at least something. I'm sure you are, at the very least, one of his most valued friends.
And if I start crying about not getting enough of your attention, I'll slap myself across the face.
JJ

It's like I said tonight, H, just breathe for a minute.
You need the time to rest so you CAN catch up. It's okay. Then prioritize....let the website wait, and even the webstore. Handle Stonci first, and your health is important. Then worry about the webstore and getting some extra cash rolling in, make a few minutes each day for emails. You know I understand because I'm over my head, too. Blogit is the last thing you should worry about, seriously. Your friends understand. Hell, you never comment on my stuff ya big hooch. ;) I know doc needs you, but I think it's time to move on to place with paid sick days and insurance and um, well, something else. Higher pay. It's time to start worrying about yourself and taking care of you. Tell him that, maybe you'll get what you need there, if not, then maybe you should go. Love you...

You're not alone
It'a an American epidemic - biting off more than we can chew. Kudos to you for admitting it and taking care of what you need to.

Oh, come on, Young Miss! Give yourself a break.
It's okay to be overwhelmed once in awhile. Your friends know what you're about and won't think the worse of you, although they may laugh at you for getting in over your head.
