I'm here to tell you that cleaning the house doesn't fix it.
Staring at the computer because you don't have any words? Also not fixing it.
Taking a shower doesn't fix it either, but at least you'll smell nice.
Exercise helps, a little, as long as you're actually doing it, but it's not a solution so much as a temporary patch, a band-aid.
But do you know? Listening to 3 kindergarten-aged boys chatter over their plates of lunch (mac-n-cheeze, carrot sticks, apple juice and those pink-and-white frosted animal cookies with sprinkles), giggling and planning and plotting and snorting? That helps. A lot.
The best kind of remedy, I think.

ReplyDeleteI've been cleaning the house like mad today and staring at the computer screen at random intervals - wordless.
ReplyDeleteWonder where I can rustle me up some kindergarteners?
It also doesn't help when there's SEVERAL feet of snow outside!
ReplyDeleteBut yes, giggling over cookies. Now that's how I spell relief!
That is so sweet! I can't imagine what that wouldn't be a good cure for.
ReplyDeleteI totally hear you, Becca. I've been feeling like that for a while too. Unfortunately, I only get to be around elementary school kids twice a week- the rest of the time, I'm stressing about annoying college homework and tests. Ugh.
