How Do You De-stress?
Every winter I get very patriotic because if I don’t I get really angry about all the taxes I have to pay. Also, I’m a small business owner which means I have to deal with irate independent contractors wanting me to under-report their incomes. Um, no.
So tax preparation + sugar detox diet + regular mommy crap (laundry, PTA homework, dinner, etc.) + shoulder injury + low income filing due + people yelling at me all day+ p.s. I’m turning 39 in two weeks =
I’M SO STRESSED OUT I CAN’T SEE STRAIGHT
On the plus side I do not have the flu. Also, clearly nothing is life-threatening. I’m just having a crap week.
Here are some things I came up with to lower my cortisol levels:
- Visualize person(s) driving you nuts. Insert kickboxing DVD and pretend they are the target.
- Take a break from taxes to fold laundry. (Yes, this is the single instance where laundry is the preferred choice of task.)
- Fantasize about selling your family business and moving to Costa Rica.
How do you de-stress?

Amen, sister hen!
Thanks. I’m feeling better today. Sleep is a really good cure too 😉
In case I forget to tell you in two weeks: Happy Birthday.
Thanks. I guess I better get used to saying I’m 39, since I plan on telling people that’s my age for the next 12 years.
GRR! I totally understand. I have no answers except ignore everything and leave for a few hours…I know that isn’t really a choice you have. But, Costa Rica is beautiful…I highly recommend this place http://www.lomasdelvolcan.com/ (we stayed there http://wp.me/p2uXwW-1t9) Talk about heaven! I am sure you can find cheap flights from Texas.
Oooh – can’t wait to check it out! I love living vicariously through your blog.
Hahahaha! Love the comment that folding laundry is preferable to doing taxes.
It’s true!
I must be the only husband in the world who actually likes ironing. Sorry, not folding.
Lift and lift heavy!!!!
Yeah, lift heavy until you pop your shoulder! Oops
Okay lift heavy smart! 🙂
