This reminds me to pray for them without ceasing, but I often forget and let stress get me down.

On the bright side for me, whenever we go out to eat together, I get to pick the restaurant, because the fun of eating out has been lost to him :) That's funny; your irrational fear. I had the same thing when I was growing up; believing that I wouldn't live past 18, and later, past my kids growing up. I think it started because I grew up with such adversity and just couldn't dream that I would ever "live happily ever after." I'm so glad I was wrong. Because of the fear of dying before my kids were old enough to know me, I started a journal for them. I'm happy to say the journal today is 170 pages (in Word) and is filled with motherly advice, every funny/cute/sad thing my kids have ever done, and my feelings about being their mom. I feel very satisfied (and no longer worry :) Good luck on making it to 40 :) What stressed me out? Not much (other than money). Case in point: A student called me a "F--king bitch" yesterday. Thirty minutes later, at my annual physical, my blood pressure was 99/66. :) My husband travels, too, so I definitely recognized your worries there.

I try to pretend like I don't worry, but I do. I worry that we are doing our daughter a disservice by living in DC. I worry that we are not saving enough money. I worry about my sister who is now living in Malaysia. I worry that I share too much on the blog. And that is just a sample. Worrying really stinks. I agree with Tyler this is a great post.
