After a long few days with DS, the question this week just popped into my head.
What sort of things do you do to help you de-stress and unwind after having difficult days with DC?
My favorite thing to do is honestly sleep. I love to take a nap and I honestly feel much calmer and relaxed after I can catch some shut eye. I also like to read or be crafty when I have the time.

This is going to sound strange, but nesting helps me to calm down and de-stress. Also, reading or a long, hot shower!
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm having the bad day, I pray for bedtime :-) Then, it's straight into my pj's and into bed with a book or magazine. If it's been a particularly hard day, I'll talk with my mom (we talk every night). She usually helps me put things into perspective.
ReplyDeleteI agree with ugabrat! I like to nest. It makes me feel like I'm hanging out with a group of people who understand exactly what I am going through. So, I'll nest for an hour or so and I feel so much better :-) Strangely, I also love to go bargain shopping. I'll gather up my deal of the week at CVS or Target and bask in the glow of getting something for nearly nothing!
ReplyDeleteWhen I need some down-time I Nest and watch my favorite TV shows that my hubby will never watch with me like Jon & Kate, People Court, and Wife Swap. Usually all of those shows make me feel better about whatevers going on in my life!! LOL
