Feeling wierd

It has been a strange few days. We are getting used to the new summer schedule (or lack thereof). JJ is, of course, bored out of his mind and driving me crazy. Asher is really struggling with the loss of his "mommy alone time". Hannah just likes having more time to play with her brothers. I am having a tough time adjusting to the increase in volume, mess, and pestering. All this added on top of a great desire to become a hermit. I love my friends and family but sometimes personal relationships just seem too hard and I have to fight the urge to just shut down and hide out in my room for weeks on end. I guess I am a lot like JJ in that I don't deal well with change and when I have to deal with it I lose my ability to deal with everyone and everything else. Little slights or words said and unsaid become huge to me. Mentally I know I am being self centered and ridiculous but emotionally the feelings are there refusing to be hidden. I firmly believe that we all choose our feelings and therefore it is our own fault if we feel offended or sad. Although I believe that philosophy, I often have a hard time implementing it.
