Both Mr. Wacky and I are sick but I'm generally sicker than he is.<br />I find the biggest problem is the pressure I put on myself to make any holiday as good as possible. When I do that I'm almost guaranteed to flare, be cautious, and fall apart when there's even a minor oops because I 'ruined' his day.<br />Overall I find Mr Wacky much more easy going and calm about almost everything.<br />I have a lot to learn from him.Wacky Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13869515594850080903noreply@blogger.com
