Nugget... we tend to get easily stressed. Perhaps it's because it has all come at once. (your husbands daughter, the cowboy contractor, your dogs natural instinct for the food chain...) ... (sorry, that was a bad joke).
But it seems to me that your worrying for nothing. I dont mean to sound harsh. I like to call it "thinking outside the box". It's when you step outside your situation and assess it from another point of view, see the problem as it is and not how it is occuring. (follow?)
For example, your contractor has no right to say your nit-picking. If he had done the job properly in the first place, he wouldn't be back again. After all, you probably paid good money for his services.
I found this as a very good stress management tactic. I'd often go to bed, sleepless for hours, thinking of things that normal people would just dismiss. In the morning, I'd wake up very tired with my IBS attacks. (usually, after a nights stress, it would result in D.)
I took the hypno tapes. This also helped. for some reason, sub-conscieciously (sp?), I realised most the time i was worrying for nothing. The problems were never as bad I they first seemed, and it was all in my head. Call it positive thinking, but I very rare have my ibs attacks due to stress these days. I worry over more 'worrying things'. The more important ones.
I could ramble on and on - but then i'd confuse you even more. Hopefully I've said enough so that you understand where I'm coming from. Otherwise you have every right to tell me to "shut it!".
