How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Too Blessed to be Stressed

in Everyday on 09/12/10

As I lay in bed last night I was dwelling about the hundred little things that had to be done before Monday!

The laundry from our vacation last week. Don’t judge, That’s how I roll.

The ever growing list of “must do items” for the PTA I got sucked into. Sigh. Seriously what was I thinking saying yes to this? Every time my blackberry goes ping ping new message I jump. I think I am developing a twitch!

It looks like a small bomb went off in the laundry room.

Don’t even get me started on the garage.

Blissdom Canada is fast approaching and I really have not given it a second thought. Must get on clothes shopping and a shoe hunt.

A birthday party for my little one next weekend!

My stupid cat needs to go back to the vet.

A charity event I’m hosting is coming up too quickly. I’m not ready!

The pool is full of leaves..oh I don’t want to close it already.

..and then I stopped myself, because I realized I am too blessed to be stressed.

Today I have:


One Happy daughter at Gymnastics.

A second at the Theatre with her sweet little friend.

A hot Starbucks in my hand and a new found addiction to Twitter. Umm yes, I may be stalking you right now to say hello!

Laundry, lists, party planning, PTA, it will get done. It always dones.

Tonight a fire, some hot chocolate and a game of scrabble while my Hubby’s is distracted by Football. I confess, it is the only way I can beat him.

I must be getting old because this kind of day, it thrills me to no end.

      Yep, aging does have its good sides – hot choc, solitaire on my laptop and jammies, in bed by 10pm. Perfection 😀

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
