Dont forget to destress!

Just what I needed after a crazy week so far. Just finished coloring my grays away and gave myself a manicure and pedicure, then a nice long shower. Just what I needed!

What do you do to pamper yourself?

Dont forget to do something nice for yourself today, the holiday season is too stressful, find atleast 5 minutes today and be good to yourself!

Mine are sad... I sleep or watch TV and sometimes I fall asleep in front of the TV he he!! ;)

Nothing wrong with that, if it helps you relax!

I play with the ponies but that is hard when it is this cold and windy.  Just the time at the barn each morning and evening destresses me.  It is good for my soul.

Exercise helps also.  I always feel better after the gym.

I envy you Price, those ponies are probable the best therapy ever! And they are so cute! The picture of you with your new pony was amazing, I dont think you could have smiled any harder!!

I know what you mean about the exercise, yoga needs to be a daily part of my life now so I dont get too nuts!

I don't do enough for myself.  Between work two little boys 3 and 6 and DH, I get lost sometimes.  I so want a YMCA membership but it is not in the budget.  After I pay off my surgery I can do it.  Then I can swim!  Exercise is difficult for me due to my knees and hips.  I was born with dislocated hips and they hurt if I go for a walk.  I can still partially pop them out (gross!).  Knees hurt just going up stairs.  But if I could swim, that would be great.

I remember those days, it goes by so fast!

I know the Ymca here has options and discounting for families that cant afford a membership, call and ask, also free memberships for those that qualify. It never hurts to ask, sorry to here about your hips and knees.

I can remember just being able to have the hubby watch the boys to be able to take a nice long hot shower when they were little, that was the only alone time I had.

Two days ago I started doing indoor gardening. I have lots of plants and many needed repotting and some grooming. Yesterday, I realized that I felt so good doing it that I need to make it an annual even. Really picked up my spirits. I still have some more to do today and then I should be done.

So cool, nothing like playing in the dirt to rejuvenate your soul. I garden outside, but never thought about indoors, I usually kill house plants, go figure?

I like to go bargain shopping alone at Consignment or thrift stores.  Just wandering and looking (with occasional buying of course) mellows me.  When in this type of store I know anything I like is going to fit in the budget! 

I have to go in and do payroll tomorrow for work, we are closed Monday and Tuesday, so I plan on hitting some thrift stores after payroll is done.
