Busy weeks so far but improving...

Monday started my week out crappily (is this a word?).  However, it has improved a little bit.   Getting back to the gym, lots of errands and events happening.  My school event is next week and I am preparing for that now.  My son is a busy little man 3 evenings a week with his after school activities.  Tonight we had a few of those going on all at once so we were spread a little thin tonight especially since dad had important business meetings.  Finally got a decent nights sleep last night so that has made life a little easier today.
I know I have stated this in my blog entries several times but keeping my mind and body busy is important for me.  If I don't personally keep busy, my mind wanders, I start thinking "If only", and of course I get a case of the "Coulda, Shoulda, Wouldas".  These ultimately lead to a spiraling and sadness sets in and then DOOM!  I have to keep myself going everyday.  I have to occupy my mind and do it with something that will keep my attention.    I can see how depressed people can become OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).  Tonight I was bored and have my house in order and cleaned!  (Thanks to my husband for helping me out)  I was trying to fill my time and started setting clothes out for tomorrow, sorting laundry, prepped the coffee, fed all my pets, fluffed pillows, etc.  I then started to set out all of what I will need for tomorrow.  When I got through with it I thought, "What am I doing?"  I need to just sit and relax.  I can't get into that habit now.  I like to make my TO DO: lists for the week and stick to those but setting out everything I need for the next day down to hat, keys, sunglasses - that is too much for me.
I realized I need to keep busy but also take time to sit and relax at the end of the day.  Put my feet up and just chill.  We all should do that.  I think we take our busy lives too seriously and I recommend loungin' in the evening.  It helped me FINALLY wind down tonight and I think it will help you too!!

(Woodchuck cider is also helping me unwind right now.......)
