For the few that check in on our world I have a question for you. First of all sorry I don't post very often. I really don't have much going on lately. ANYWAY. My question is...
What do you do when you are having a bad day and you can't throw in the towel and quit. Your day is hard and you wish you could run far far away or even just get up and leave, BUT YOU CAN'T. WHAT DO YOU DO? ! ? ! ?

Okay well I really don't know what is best... but honestly I pray! simple but it really works take a minute out and pray, it helps you get a hold on things, even if it is just a breather. good luck I'm sorry that's all I have for you.
I plug the kids into the TV and either take a nap or pull out a good book for a little break. That is if I don't have a million things going on.... if that is the case.... taking deep breaths, remembering what is THE most important, saying a little prayer, and just getting it done. I usually realize that the world really isn't falling apart....
I don't suggest doing what I do...
-ignore children
-procrastinate
Hope things look up for you!
-Cortney
All great suggestions! I do what Cortney says often but if I KNOW I have to keep going I will turn on good dancing music (ABBA, The Beach Boys, Erasure, but the especially love ABBA) and get to it. Music can do wonders.
Okay Crystalyn, can't throw in towel? call a friend and vent cry i think crying is s great stress relief if your not a cryer go for a walk a very long walk or run if you feel like running run and talk t God He always listens--- then take life not so serious know next week will not be this bad, it always passes or beat up a pillow naw dosent sound like you.
Crystalyn-
Lena has very good advice about pumping yourself up with music. You can also relax yourself with music. When the monkeys are getting to be too much, I put some relaxing music on and either escape for a few minutes by myself to do deep breathing or some yoga poses and that helps me. Also, to help the monkeys, I'll put the music on and then we'll sit indian style and do deep breathing and some stretching. It helps to bring them back down to earth for a few minutes :)
Good luck!
What do I do? I call you? You cheer me up. I remember I used to lock the kids in the house and go for a walk. Seeing a new view helps me to mind switch. Mind switch is turning off what you are thinking and think about something else. That's why calling you helps me. I also feel more up beat when I read the scriptures. I think it's the spirit not the words in the scriptures that actually helps me. You are the best.
Come and visit your friends who live next door, we'll make cookies and talk and just hang out!
Is there anyone you want me to "take out"? ;) Hang in there, this too shall pass...
Everyone seems to have really good comments. I think I've done a little of all of the above. Put the kids in front of cartoons, go in your room, take some deep breaths, let a few tears fall, and go to your knees. Then come out. If kids are entertained, take a moment to yourself, if things need to be accomplished, turn on some primary songs. It really helped my day once, I never knew how much Scott would really love it. So I guess do a little bit of what everyone has commented. Know that hormones are crazy right now and it IS ok to feel off every now and again. LOVES-

PS-You are a wonderful Mama!!
You sure do have a lot of great suggestions! As for me, if I am totally at odds with life, I go and do something nice for someone else. Service for others always helps me to forget my woes and count my many blessings! I hope that today was a better day for you!!!! :)
I think you are an amazing person,you are a great friend. And I understand those days.I am grateful to have friends and family that i can vent to.
