How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Top Five Ways To Stress In The Suburbs

in Uncategorized on

Life is full of way toooo much stress.  Today I list my top five stupid stresses in the suburbs.  Why?  I hope if I just get it out there, I can let it go.  (and then make a brand new list of stresses next week)  After all, Blogging is cheaper then therapy right?

Here we go, my stresses this week: 

* Worry about what “they” think, say, do or feel.  Life is too short to worry about them.

* Concern myself with the “mess” my house is in.  Really?   What’s the point of cleaning if it just gets messy again anyway?  Besides as a good friend once told me; we come to see you, not your house. 

* That I look fat in those pants.  (I probably don’t)

*Retail therapy is not a real thing. Shopping is fabulous for stress removal in the moment, but has to be added to my stress list next week, when my VISA comes in!

*That I will be tired in the morning.  I know I will!  Just embrace it, I can sleep when the kids go to College.

Instead of all this stupid worrying, stressing and sadness I vote we band together, play nice, let the house go, switch to the almighty maxi dress (that is such a steal when you can find it on sale!) and meet some friends for a coffee!!  Hope you can find your joy today!

    3. The house thing is something I totally agree with – but I am totally guilty of stressing myself out over. Its so stupid to worry about people coming over to a less than perfect home. Especially when we have kids – its something you can’t control. Children (and husbands) tend to leave crap everywhere, and you clean up the same things 10 times a day. However, I can’t seem to get over it! For some annoying reason I find myself rushing around like a crazy person cleaning and tidying as best as I can before someone pops over. In recent years I have figured it out: #igetitfrommymama

    9. Get it all out there my friend! 🙂
      I’ve found that no matter how much sleep I get, I still look tired. I think that is just part of life and we’ve earned it.

    12. Definitely blogging is cheaper than therapy. And yes, you are right it’s better to just get them out and let them go.
