Hump Day
March 17, 2010 | Filed under: Stuff
I was at the lake yesterday at sunset playing with my camera. Because I don’t have a book due or too many teenagers to keep track of or a NEW PUPPY destroying my house.
Except I do.
But the good news, when I’d finished amusing myself, I was no longer feeling like I might wrap my hands around the neck of the next person to look at me cross-eyed.
So what do you do when you’re on the edge looking down? I usually turn to cookies but my sweats are tight. You?

Great picture.
I take a walk, hug my cat. The best is going to see my great niece. She is 3 and can brighten any day

Gorgeous picture!
When that happens, I tend to hide away,be by myself, just be alone somewhere quiet. No phone, no radio or tv, unless I need to laugh then I try to watch something funny. Perhaps a book. But get away from the stress and pressure. Sometimes I just need a nap to catch up on sleep.

Let me just say that this is the third day that I have gone back to see your new puppy. Every time I read that entry I get tears! And I am not even a dog person or any type animal person for that matter. But that dog just breaks my heart!
Being a stay-at-home, work-from-home mom, and not all of the kids are in school yet, I am on the edge every day! My escapes are grocery shopping, sad but true. Going to the gym (this is something for Lent) or soaking in a nice hot bath.

I read. I escape into another world for awhile. Sometimes whatever it is works itself out. I guess your brain rests & you can think straighter.

Love the pic!
Posted on March 17th, 2010 at 6:22 amWell, if I’m in my car, I turn up the radio and scream along! If I’m at home I clean like crazy!

Love the picture. I will either take a nap or read a book.

Jump. Haha just kidding. I really like the picture.
Nawh, I usually sleep.

I find someplace quiet with nobody around and curl up with a book.

I get the hell out of Dodge. I let every one know I’m going over the edge, get in the car, crank the stereo and turn off my cell phone. I usually end up down by the river and read a book(I always keep one under the front seat.(Since I have a house full of teens, animals and a husband this happens several times a month). If the weather isn’t cooperating I go a couple of towns over to the coffee shop and O.D. on coffee.

I usually grab a book and either jump on the treadmill or soak in a hot tub depending on if I’m anxious or exhausted while “on the edge”.

Well, I use to go to my friends house in the Sierras and since I am on the edge I think I need a visit. Miss you and hope to share some cookies soon. I will bring the junk food. Hugs

Carrie! I miss you too. But you lie on the junk food, you skinny minnie. Don’t tease me.

I go to the barn.

I need that lake. I used to try to read to chill, but I’ve been experiencing a huge reading slump, that’s hit me for pretty much over a year.
Posted on March 17th, 2010 at 9:48 amI’ve read maybe 1/5 the books I normally do. I’ve tried futzing around on my computer, watching tv… last week I was so bored I even worked out. O_o
Karin says:
Playing around at the lake seems to work for you. I love that picture. I generally hide away with a book or, if there aren’t any people in the living room, I play some of my favorite songs on the piano.

I channel that anger or whatever into working out, or if I can’t get to the gym-into cleaning. It really helps me calm down. Hope things are better now.

I’ve been on the edge way a lot lately. So I’ve been doing a lot of deep breathing, walking/swimming, and drinking a TON of tea.
Posted on March 17th, 2010 at 12:29 pmSadly, most of it’s not working, so I’m open to suggestions.

I have to agree with singing in the car!!!

Since I live alone I don’t get that way much anymore. Taking a walk always seems to clear my head. Years ago when things got bad a drive to the coast to see the ocean always made me feel better. There is just such awesome power there it never fails to soothe my soul. Even now when I just want to run away for any reason I want to go to the coast. A couple of weeks ago I drove over there to take my walk!!! It was beautiful and I just had to get out of the house. It worked. Of course since it was beautiful, everyone & their dog was there. Really!!
Posted on March 17th, 2010 at 3:32 pmBeautiful picture. Thanks for sharing.

I eat black licorice. Beautiful picture but need more of the new puppy, possibly interacting with the other two.

Naps do the trick sometimes.

I drink red wine. A glass or two usually does the trick
