How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Top Five Ways To Stress In The Suburbs

in Uncategorized on 05/30/13

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!

      Yep, the messy house gets to me on a daily basis, pick up, straighten up, just to have the kids mess it up again.

      Good on you for talking yourself out of stressing about those things! I’ve been logging into my bank account online and watching the expenses add up as the due date draws ever nearer… Next month, we’ll start fresh, ya?
