I would stand in the middle of the kitchen, with a brown paper bag over my head. There I would envision myself at a spa, near the ocean, warm, relaxed, ALONE. Of course, the five kids , all under 6 years old, would get the hint, "Steer clear, she's gonna blow!" Then we'd all regroup and get a grip, but at least they got the message loud and clear....and I got 5 minutes of peace. It most times started the giggles around the troops, and as you know, giggles create endorphines, and endorphines create happy people. Get endorphined! Bag Yourself!

Just try to get mad or loose your patience after a tough workout and it's darn near impossible! Besides, people tend to stay in line when they know you can easily throw their car into a ditch if they piss you off ;-) I prefer to deal with problems head-on, in the heat of battle instead of letting it simmer away in isolation... if you still get anywhere near the breaking point... it's time for a sabbatical or long vacation. A worn-out CEO is about as useful as a car without an engine. Jon http://dreamclue.com ...get the message!
