I still hadn't made our stockings and there were so many things I wanted to do and I wanted time to relax at Christmas. I think the stress of working too much in a short period of time and not being able to stay on top of chores and not getting to cook or do other things I wanted just finally gave way. But yeah, I had my time to myself and recovered and got back into things and finished the stockings a few hours later.KelleyAnnie @ Over the Thresholdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376529562902628318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092327908759855115.post-80195729114132209362010-01-11T22:49:33.413-05:002010-01-11T22:49:33.413-05:00I certainly have days where I feel like pulling ou...I certainly have days where I feel like pulling out my hair and/or hiding from the world. In fact, I've had a couple of the recently. With a two year old to take care of, it's not really possible to just stay in bed. On those really bad days, I cuddle up on the couch and read to my son for as long as he'll let me, take a nap while he takes a nap, and occasionally let him watch TV so I can take a few deep breaths. At the end of a long day, I take a steaming hot bubble bath with aromatherapy oils and read some good fiction to "escape." I've also found writing (either in a journal or blogging) to be a great stress relief too. After writing my post about "worry" yesterday, I feel less worry already! I hope you have a better day tomorrow, Ashley!Carahttp://www.thepickyapple.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
