One of those months
Did you ever just have one of those months - not just days - but months when it seems that everything is just piling up and up and up?
I'm having that month so far and the entire year isn't looking too good either. I guess there comes a time in everyone's life when it happens, though in truth, I was sure those days were gone when I left the corporate workplace behind and my youngest turned 12. It looked like easy sailing until...
Da, da, daaaa
Along came a veritable cataclysm of events, largely of my own making (ie I tried to do everything at once).
#bigmistake
Between having a high school senior and all that goes with it (all those apps!) and my newest deadlines and the need to meet them, my plate might have been full enough but to it I added my family's relocation to Minnesota: househunting trips (4 of them!), offers, counter offers, inspections, failures.
I could give details but in doing so might provide enough evidence in my ranting to be provided a nice escort to the nearest padded cell.
Any solutions out there? Ideas?
My husband would only say "Fine, we don't have to move."
Men.
Perhaps the answer might be found at the bottom of a bottle of Pinot Noir?
Within the shiny brown wrapper of a Hershey bar?
What do you do to relieve the stress when you're at the eye of the storm?

I complain and rant and just act cranky etc. :) But, sometimes just a nap or some free time to myself, or just a nice hour walk in a park helps me to calm down a bit. Doesn't always work though since I panic first then become reasonable when it involves big life issues, but it usually helps me put things into perspective :) I also tell my husband how I'm feeling, since he can't figure it out (like most men). He appreciates my honesty, and then he helps out by trying to take on more of the burden of daily life so I can deal with my stuff.
Feeling frenzied myself...made a move from the Kansas City area to Colorado Springs, and I'm trying to promote my first book while planning a launch party for my second. My new office/studio is a "mancave" I'm dying to paint, and my son is in the hospital. I try to prioritize as best I can, get done each day what I can, and not worry about the rest.
