Does Busy Mean The Same Thing As Stressed?

In spite of the fact that I'm officially only working part-time, I'm busy – busier than I've ever been. I'm not sure if it's just this season of life. Working, writing, being a wife and of course being a mom. Or maybe there's more to it than that.

It's 10 PM on a Sunday night, my son is in bed, and I'm just now sitting down to work. I still have to take a shower, throw in a load of clothes, and finish the dishes. And yet, I have to be up by 7 AM – not terribly early, but not exactly sleeping in either.
