I know I'm not the only stressball here lately.

It seems like lately, a lot of us are going through some major stress.

I have a proposal...this weekend, each of us should do ONE THING that helps us cope with stress.

It could be a ten-minutes long, or a full day of pampering. Whatever you can budget in terms of time and money.

Who's with me on this?

Personally, I'm going to make it a point to check out a new church in the city. It's very non-judgmental and I usually feel a lot better after I go to church. I don't go much, it's always a struggle for me...not to get to church, but to have faith...and I think that, after some talking with a chaplain, this might be the right fit for me.

What are you going to do? Mental health is just as important as physical health, ladies.

sounds like a great idea - haven't had a manicure in so long - I will have to treat myself!

I think I will buy myself a gift. Perhaps some clothes, a pair of shoes something. Spend a little to feel better? Why not!

This weekend is my bach. party so I'm definitely going to de-stress with a few drinks.

And I took today off as a day to myself, just to relax.

ita! Tomorrow night FH and I are going out to dinner. We haven't gone just the two of us in a while and when we do it's usually bc we're starving after running arnd doing wedding stuff all day! I told him to pick the spot - I don't even want to be bothered deciding where to go. Then Sunday - I'm spending all my $ at the mall shopping for the HM!

This is such a great idea. FH and I have been fighting alot lately. Saturday night our families are doing a dinner and I'm a little stressed about it.

On Sunday I'm just going to veg in the apartment and order movies. If the weather is nice, i'll be vegging in the park with my ipod.

This sounds like an awesome idea.....fh and I havent been getting along lately and most of it is bc of me (he even tried to be nice and buy me my own laptop with word on it, and im still bishy) .......I think I just need some time to step back and chill

Re: I know I'm not the only stressball here lately.

Totally with you Kris!!

I have been losing sleep the last couple of weeks, so tomorrow I am sleeping in late.. Tomorrow after I drop off the last of my invites at the post office, I am heading to get a mani & pedi.

And I am finally going to clean my bedroom. You don't want to see it, it is an F'ING MESS!!!!

Re: I know I'm not the only stressball here lately.

If it makes you feel better, H and I had the worst fights before wedding. We laugh about it now but it's stressful. A part of me is glad it's over. I hate to say that but that's also cuz I had a great day. I was so bad a month before....

You are normal.
