1/15/10 Friday Facts

STRESS:

-DH is stressed out at work..."worst day ever" yesterday.

 

-DD got laid off this week (and her BF of 3 years and she broke-up just before Christmas). She's also been sick as a dog for 3 days now (still running a fever...doc thinks it's a virus) "Mom, my life sucks". She's got a two year follow up procedure coming up on Monday (outpatient) and I'm hoping she's not still sick (and that the procedure can go on). Thank God her insurance goes through the month (yes, she'll buy ins. after that).

 

-DS1 called from college yesterday and thinks he has the swine flu (wouldn't get the shot, believe me I tried)...I'm waiting to see if he made it to the doc.

 

-DS2 is as happy as a lark...ski club trip tonight.

 

-Someone please tell me how to sleep better when you're stressed (DH and I are both not getting enough sleep)...and pray for me that I can stay up until 11:30pm to pick up DS2 tonight.

    Sleep better when stressed? Take a warm bath before bedtime (or sit in the hot tub). Chamomile tea. Or drink a bottle of wine...that usually helps, too. :rolleyes:

    Or - and this is the one that really seems to do wonders for me - get tired enough. Couple that with wine and you are really set...

    Screw that 1/2 pound. With a week like this - I hereby declare you...wait for it... "Normal"!

    Drink a smoothie for breakfast. We do mango, papaya, pineapple, strawberries, bananas and orange-pineapple-banana juice plus 1/3 cup of fage yogurt, and a splash of milk and dollop of flaxseed oil. Makes me regular as a....I don't know. But on weekends, when I don't drink it...not so regular. :ohmy: That and water water water...

    Congratulations on the Wii.

    And a few words to ponder...when life seems to be taking over - sit back and enjoy the ride...

    Best thing for sleep...(and for stress, and water intake, and constipation, and everything else)...exercise! But you already knew that. But for sleep dont exercise close to bedtime..and if you DO exercise let me know cuz I need the shame!

    Hang in there...D
