I laughed at a lot of points on the list, especially “I will take back all those times I didnt want to nap” God I wish we could still nap during the day (I envy companies with special sleep pods with soothing music, where employees can catch a quick 20 minute recharge on their breaks!!)
I was stressed last night too, coming home after a long day of work and class. I did what you do- just ignore everything that isnt urgent (dishes/house cleaning) took a long hot bath and went to bed!

I love your list! While you probably were really stressed out to make that list, I found I could totally relate. I am a list girl myself, and yup dishes, laundry and mail are always at some point in the week backed up. But your list cracked me up. Pants never get dirty…cars keeping out the line jumper…I enjoyed the list. A good dash of humor never hurts!

This looked so good I came home and made it tonight for supper, with a few substitutions. I sauteed the squash and I used some swiss chard that I had cooked and frozen from my garden in place of the fresh spinach. I added some chopped avocado and left out the nuts and maple syrup, but the balsamic vinegar is KEY in this wonderful creation. THANK YOU for this wonderful idea!

Great post! Loved the adult truths – they are all spot on!

My six year old daughter picked out that grains blend at TJs on Saturday and we ate it with roasted acorn squash, brussels sprouts and a slow cooker chicken and apples with mustard/apple cider sauce last night, yum! Thanks for the list of “Adult Truths”, #8 is so true especially this time of year when it starts getting cold and dark early here in Nebraska. Also, I hate washing jeans and other pants because I always feel like I have to stretch them out when I put them on! Thanks for keeping things real and honest with this post, it’s certainly okay to put the to do list aside for 10 minutes of more and relax. As women we need to remember to take care of ourselves!

This post really helped me – thank you so much for those tips on stressing less! That prioritize one really rung true for me, and as soon as I read it I switched screens to my gmail and took literally a couple of minutes to send an important email that’s been hanging over my head…and now I feel so much better, and less stressed! :-D xyx

Your “Adult Truths” are almost all from Ruminations.com. You should give credit. Your recipe looks great though!

It’s also an email forward. Should she cite “email” as well? That’s not the point. She’s not taking credit for them, you dope. She’s sharing them. Big difference.
C 11.10.2011
My apologies. I skimmed over the part where she said she read them in an email on my way down to the recipe. I only noticed them at all because my friend wrote a couple. On the bright side, at least now credit can be given and you know where to go for more witty remarks about life. : )

nice run!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss 11.09.2011
Oh my gosh, those truths are SO true! (not to be Captain Obvious- haha!) but they’re right. I remember my mom used to get onto my for washing my pants after every wear…but now they go weeks without being washed.
Kat @ Sensible Lessons 11.09.2011
So needed this post today. Thank you so much Kristin. Love the 20 Adult Truths…made me laugh!
Laurie 11.09.2011
20 Adult Truths are the best! Thanks for the laugh and the lesson that I’m not alone in most things.

I have a lot of stress in my life and find it difficult to accomplish everything that needs to get done. I have finally arrived at the conclusion that sometimes I just have to LET GO a little. My house is not immaculate all the time. (Oh wait, actually it never is.) I do not cook a healthy, balanced dinner every night. Sometimes people have to wait a day or two for me to return their messages. I am ok with imperfection; I learned I had to be ok with it to maintain sanity!!
Iowamom 11.09.2011
Love the adult truths list! My stress is laundry. I do a load or two every day and then I feel better. It piles up so quickly with three kids and two adults. I also repeat “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff” to myself often. I tell my kids the same thing……..puts it all in perspective!
Jen 11.09.2011
The 20 Adult Truths made me laugh, becuase most of them are sooo true.
Your treadmill workout looks like a good one, I might need to steal that. I’ve been looking for some good treadmill routines!

Thanks for the stress tips! Those will come in handy with holiday season right around the corner for sure! Speaking of maple I have a question for you. My boyfriend recently went to Canada for work and brought home a bottle of the REALLY good maple syrup. It seems too fancy to use on a stack of pancakes, so I was curious if you had any recipe ideas I could use it with for something extra special? Thanks so much!
WendyG 11.09.2011
I would TOTALLY wear a shirt that says, “Lists make me happy!!!!” I also REALLY want the “I heart Sweat” shirt that CNC wears!!!!!!!!!!
Hope 11.09.2011
I love this list! It definitely added some humor to my morning! :)
Your dinner looks delicious! I’ve never seen that couscous blend at TJ. I’m going to have to look for it the next time I go there. I don’t think my fiance would be interested in this dish either. Looks like I’ll have to make it a night when he is not eating dinner at home ;)
Allyson Jo 11.08.2011
I totally needed these stress tips! I have recently just started a new job and training and everything is driving me crazy!
Storm 11.08.2011
