It’s Friday! It’s Friday! Yippee, it’s Friday!

1. Obviously I have comment service ADD. I am now back to blogger comments. I started getting more and more complaints about not being able to comment and the customer service at Intense Debate sucks. So, back to blogger. But of course I can’t keep all my old comments. So if you can do me a teensy favor and go back and comment on all my posts, that would be great. Thanks much.

{Just kidding.}

2. I posted about Leprechauns this week.

3. And about Dr. Seuss.

4. And how I hate softball.

But I don’t hate Thin Mints. I love them. Too much.

5. I’m not good at stress; this is not new. But lately I feel like I need some wine and valium to quell the anxiety. (No Mom, not together. I’m not Lindsay Lohan.) How do you handle stress? I exercise a lot already. I’ve tried yoga but I have way too much time to think between downward dog and warrior. What else can I do? Deep breathing? Longer baths? Shipping my kid off to sleep away school?

6. I recently read a great book, Breaking Silence by Linda Castillo. Turns out it’s book three of a series. I hate it when that happens, but luckily you don’t really need to read these in order. (But if I was just starting out, I would. The other two are Sworn to Silence and Pray for Silence.) They are an Amish crime thriller series and are SO good. What have you been reading lately?

Have a great weekend everyone!  See ya’ on the flip side.

  1. I don’t feel particularly stressed these days, but I think I’m suppressing it into my subconscious. I’ve had all kinds of issues lately, so they have me on muscle relaxers. They do amazing things! I’ve had anxiety issues too, so I get it. Sometimes you don’t know how to fix it and you can’t identify the trigger. Dessert helps! I just started yoga too.

  2. Chocolate helps me!! Sorry you lost your old comments- if it helps, you have made me a happier commenter:). Have a good weekend.

  3. Unplug, my friend and walk away from the blog…We’ll be here tomorrow, not to worry! You do an amazing job, Dorothy! And, hey, it’s almost 5pm and so it’s cocktail time. How about you? 🙂

  4. Awwww…sounds like you need a big HUG…followed by a bottle of wine and night without the little one 🙂 Not that we don’t love our kids, but every now and then us parents need our down time to “reboot”.

    So, yes, take some deep breaths and schedule yourself some “me” time. Go get a pedicure and just chill.
