overwhelmed and stressed

Hello Blogworld,

Sorry I have been absent.  Just didn't feel like I had anything to say worthwhile.  I am feeling pulled in    a million different directions at once.  Everyone needs me all at the same time.  And I can't catch a breath.  I have tried to talk to Miles about it. But he takes it as me blaming him and that is not what I am trying to do.  I just don't feel supported at all.  At work I need to be in charge and at home I am always hearing what I need to do for somebody else.   Yesterday I blew up at Miles.  We had run a couple of errands and I got to fish while Miles enjoyed a beer.  But I wound up sending him away from me cause he kept critizing me.  I need to practice casting and it was my first of the year.  But he kept asking if I wanted him to do it for me.  That doesn't help me learn how to do it.  I explained that nicely a few times.  We were there for a couple of hours.   As soon as we get home He asks me to straighten up my kitchen.  Seriously just stepping in the house.  And I blew up.  How do I clean if I can't be at home?  He had me out running him around all weekend so he could get out for awhile.  And the topper is that I couldn't empty the sink cause He needed to run the dishwasher.  I could run it but he says He wants to do it.  I had Mt. Washmore to tackle because he wanted to do his laundry.  So last night I just jumped in and did it.  And this morning I asked him about the dishwasher since I did laundry last night.  (Can't run both at the same time)  I actually had him do it right then so he wouldn't forget and I can get the house back on track.  Hopefully he will fold and put his laundry away while I am at work.  I would do it for him but he doesn't like that.  It makes him feel helpless.  So hopefully things will improve.  I also dropped out of school.  I can't juggle it all.  I want to but 3 fulltime positions are just too much for me.  I can't live with the anxiety attacks I am having.  Thanks for letting me vent.
