Ever have one of those days where everything is slightly off kilter?
You can't quite put your finger on it, but something is causing everything in your life to turn to shit for a day?
I'm having one of those days.
Lately it seems as though I've been rushing through life, just running around with no particular destination in mind, and it's slowly killing me.
I can feel the stress in every inch of my body. From the tips of my toes, all the way up to my eyeballs.
I want to go home, I want to crawl into bed, and I want to sleep, uninterrupted, for days.
Basically, this is what I want:
That would be perfect.
But, as you know, I have an incredibly active toddler. And, as you may not know, because of The Hubs' work schedule, I'm pretty much a single mother 5 days a week.
So, my friends, I need your advice. What do you do when life just gets to be too much? How do you relax and de-stress? Please, please let me know!! Because if I don't get some relaxation tips soon, I just might lose it. Start flipping tables and calling people prostitution whores, or something.

i wish i had some tips for you...all i can say is i hope it gets better!!
Toddlers are tough. If you can lay down for 10 minutes and just shut your eyes and have silence it may help. If not their is always vino

Get pampered. You deserve it girl!
I'd say get a babysitter for the night and just have a 'mama by myself' day for your self if that is within reach ;)
i wish i had tips for you. i have been beyond stressed myself lately! =/
I listen to music that calms me down and try to meditate on my goals and the reasons why I live each day. It sounds kind of silly but it does help me out a lot. I have to do this every day at work just to get through. On really bad days I just buy a pint of ben & jerrys and watch funny movies. That helps a lot!
When the boys drive me nuts and the Hubbs schedule is the same as being a single mom. I try to find some quite time just for me. No phone or media. Sometimes I'll just close my bedroom off to the world and start reading or take a bath. A lot of deep breathing to relax. It is a hard time with a toddler! Just try to find it. =)
