Should I worry more? I never stay awake at night thinking things over, I never wake before dawn and can’t go back to sleep for fear we can’t pay the bills or that my children will fail their respective school years. Global warming, international recession, redundancy, my husband leaving me, all these things are awful but I don’t worry about them.
Even when I knew for a fact that my car wouldn’t start the next morning, it didn’t stop me sleeping, and now I’ve got a scrummy, shiny new one that is no longer an issue.
I do occasionally wonder if… but then I just roll over and “do a Scarlett” as it was always referred to at home.
Saying that I’ll be glad when the speeding fine finally arrives so a )I can stop saving and b) I don’t have to dash to the letter box before my husband every day.
Is this normal? What do you worry most about? What can I do to worry more?
Perhaps it's in the genes, you're a worrier or you aren't, wonder if Brad worries? I would with Angelina!

“If a problem can be solved there is no use worrying about it. If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good.” - Seven Years in Tibet. Easier said than done, but I do offer this advice to my over-anxious child on a regular basis. Plus, it allows me to reflect on how attractive Brad Pitt used to be...

I worry about my kids though they are not kids anymore (22,19 & 17). I just can't help myself.
