Therapy…

Life is crazy.

Some kids are back to school. Some are home.

Baby is sleeping in 45 minutes increments followed by hours of screaming. HOURS

Thus, I am not sleeping.

Baby is walking…RUNNING..and into everything.  I have not a moment to work during the day.

Sales are awesome and I am busy.

My fridge is empty.

Eggs, pancakes, cereal or tuna melts for dinner?

Wardrobe fights not worth it.

Esther is asking for non-stop craft projects.

I haven’t dusted in 2 months.

I had to cancel my weekend plans for my other half’s on again, off again, on again, off again plans – lack of decision making. I am usually just generally just pissed off.

My only therapy is in my kitchen – usually at about midnight.  When no one is there to interrupt me.  No one is there to pull on my leg and whine.  No one is there to need something.

I can take my time.

Just solitude and my kitchen and me.  My therapy at midnight.

I know it must be bad because just this week I have made pickles, zucchini bread, cocoa zuccinini muffins, chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal bars, applesauce and now peanut butter cookies.

The best part is that I don’t eat them. I just want to make them for some stress release.

What is your therapy this week?

    My pickle recipes that I have been looking for!! Your pickles look great by the way:) Please send me a copy of my refrig pickles. I won’t call – it does sound a little stressful there right now.

    We’d make a good stress reduction team. You bake for stress, I eat for stress. OK maybe that wouldn’t be so good for me. Umm… baby may be sent after sleeping through the night. Bungalow’56 rule.

    You don’t eat them??? See, eating chocolate and online shopping would be my therapy. Both bad. Ugh.

    Wow, those refrigerator pickles look delicious! Mmmmm!
    I hear you on just needing a few moments of quiet. I guess my therapy is getting to sit down at the computer {uninterrupted} at night to blog hop & see what everyone else is up to…
    Crafty projects are also an outlet for me, but all of my supplies have still been packed in boxes since our move, so not very easy to get to.
    Also, just riding in the car alone & listening to what I want to on the radio, that is NICE!
    Hope that you have a good weekend, despite the change in your plans.

    I pretend that I live alone on an island. This is usually only effective after about two glasses of wine. It’s amazing how little you actually hear then. It’s like everyone is talking to you through a sound-machine haze. Quite lovely, actually.

    I bake too. Made vanilla and chocolate chip scones today. I eat them though.

    Call me when things slow down.

    You’re so cute. Lovely cucumber photos! Now, I want some pickles. How funny that your mom now wants her recipe back! :o ) My therapy~ wine. Reading books and blogs. Ordering yet another set of two bracelets from Kristi’s Etsy store. And, laundry.

    I have a new therapy…Woodchuck Hard Cider’s special limited edition Fall Cider. It’s like drinking caramel apples that give you a light buzz. You need to find some and enjoy.

    Well, food, of course. Generally, something with carbs. I had a lot of carbs this week. And wine is nice, too, but since I’m up everyday at 5, it just makes me fall asleep. And, finally, the gym. At the gym, I can be alone with some music and sweat, but lately I don’t even have time for that. Wah!
