FI is the same way. He has night terrors / nightmares everynight. I wake up to him screaming all the time.

And, umm. He smokes and drinks. A lot.

I pet the dog - she's always waiting at the door and it makes me smile how happy she is to see me.  I snuggle the kitty boys for a few minutes.  Then it's sweats or pajamas and a glass of wine or a Mike's harder lemonade (bigger can; higher alcohol % than regular Mikes).  Then DH and I usually hang out in our room - perusing the web on our laptops, or reading, or chatting.  If it's warm, we'll go out on the deck; if it's cold he will make a fire.  Sometimes I'll sew or work on some crafty stuff.  We rarely go out on weeknights, except to a class at the gym sometimes.

I have started doing yoga, but my favorite part is at the end when the chick does the body part relaxation rollcall. It's just really soothing. I wish the class was just all laying on my back and doing that.

Do you like to color? There is something super peaceful about being in charge of what colors you put where and staying in the lines.

I do this in bed before I try to sleep.  Otherwise I wake up wound up tighter than a brand new bedspring and in pain.

I love to color.  I used to have a coloring book and crayons but I think they got tossed the last time we moved.  I should get some more.

This is true.  I love to color.

MeaghanandMichael

And coloring is dirt cheap and can last for weeks!

So would it be fun and destressful for you if I started a fun thread?









You know, one where I pretend to be a newb and all that jazz. It's been awhile...
Yeah. Not funny.

My daughter has FINALLY started to like coloring. We love doing that together and the control of the colors is the best!

I watch TV and cuddle with Whisky, or H if he's home. Usually I write.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: How do you de-stress? : Sorta, kinda. I didn't know that it bothered people but it's been mentioned a couple of times. Sounds stupid, but I kind of took it to heart and got a bit paranoid. I don't want to be annoying, it's not my intention.
Posted by LessThanZero[/QUOTE]

Well I don't think it's annoying, and you KNOW I'd tell you if I did.

I haven't noticed you posting any more than anyone else here. Fuuck, someone has to post.

[QUOTE]I take a hot shower, throw jammies on, turn on bad reality TV, or go TK.  Sometimes it's easier for me to de-stress by myself so I don't have to talk to anyone about what is stressing me out.  That just gets me all fired up about it again.

Thanks J&K and Les. I don't want to do a whole "poor me" thing about it but yeah, it bugged me and made me feel like I was just all up in SB too much.

That's the socond time today someone has said that about something I've posted.

I don't know what I'm doing. Works for me.

J&K10910

Now, when I see your posts I open my eyes really wide, smile maniacally, and slowly tilt my head to the side.  I'm killing myself over here.

it's a good thing I don't really drink.  I don't need it.

You have no idea, the pure joy I get when I picture you doing that.

I release all my stress @ the gym!

J&K10910

It's like an automatic reaction.  I can't help it.  It happens without me trying.  I can't stop it. 

aprovencher21

I drink.......

Okay not everyday.

I typically go home and lay around with the dogs.  Simply playing with them, cuddling them, etc. helps some stress go away.  If I'm lucky enough to have FI home with me at the same time we'll curl up and watch a movie or some shows together.

Um possibly TMI but sex is one of the best destressors for me personally.

Call FI, work out, talk to my sister, watch mindless tv (Bravo)

zippityb

I've always considered Bravo to my cultured tv.

Million Dollar Listing is the best show ever in the world besides Jersey Shore and RR/RW Challenge shows.
