    Usually when this happens it's because I'm home with nothing to do but be lazy so I'll plug in a video game and lose myself in it. :]

    I get a crochet hook and get busy. Not only is it relaxing, but my beautiful afghan not only gives me a sense of accomplishmet, but is cozy to cuddle up with my husband and watch a good movie.

    I tend to sit and brew about situations until I am ready to talk to my husband or sister.

    Lately, I've found that I can breath so much better after yoga. I've finally dusted off the DVDs, and kick myself in the butt during downward dog for not doing it sooner. I read from something inspirational (Book of Secrets by Deepak) before I go to bed to clear out all the stuff from the day. Last, I'm so grateful for everyone I have in my life.

    definitely eating comfort food, snuggling up in bed reading or watching something funny on tv, and hugging my kids

    The first thing I do upon arriving home from a stressful day at work is to get on the treadmill, it always works!

    Nothing works better than a slice of cheesecake while out with a good friend

    I work - since I work freelance at home as the www.digitalgrandparent.com, I can lose myself for a while and then find myself again when my regular life calls. It's a perfect solution.
