Is there something/somewhere you can do or go when things are getting crazy and you need a little bit of sanity?
Exercise.
That's it for me..... that's my "crack". My addiction that makes things alright in my world..... it can be going for a long walk (with the dog & kiddo or without) or going down to our exercise room to jump on the elliptical or the weight machine.
Exercise = Clearing the brain.
Exercise = Calming
Exercise = A few minutes of peace and quiet from a whining child.
Exercise = Making a fight with the Hubby end a little quicker because it gives me time to cool down.
It's getting a little more frustrating for me as I get farther into my pregnancy (I'm at 34 weeks today!!) because physically I'm having to slow down. Exercise is having to be pushed farther and farther aside because physically I just can't do it all...... My poor husband can probably tell you my temper is a little shorter these days. If I realize I'm being a major "B", I try to rein it in and calm down. Sometimes this works...... sometimes it doesn't. Last night, Lil Man was in a whiny mood due to not getting all of his nap in. I called The Hubby, "All I'm asking for is to be able to walk. Please come home on time so I can get out and get some exercise."

Well one good thing about being so far along, is that you'll be able to work out again soon and not have to slow down.
I WISH exercise made me feel that way. Instead it's the opposite - forcing myself to exercise makes me grouchy! Maybe some day I'll learn to love it?
I so can relate. When I do exercise, I feel the same way. Now, it's just a matter of getting back into exercising, because I'm in desperate need of that outlet, especially with a super whiny toddler of my own!
Good lord I need to adopt your crack! Mine would probably be wine!
