Saturday morning

Does life ever slow down? Mike was up all night with his ulcer bothering him again. That is, after a full day at work and an evening boarding up the blown out windows at the rental house. Now after no sleep he is back over there (with Jonathan) nailing a tarp on the roof. Obviously the stress of the last few days is contributing to the ulcer problem (not to mention that he's been apparently drinking coffee at work and we had spaghetti & sausage for supper last night--when he finally came home from the rental house because more storms were blowing in!). So my question is...how do we slow down? Even when we try, circumstances beyond our control force us to keep going 100mph! Calgon take us away!!
