I too am a grandmother and teacher, though retired from the classroom. I now work with student teachers. STRESS...have lots less since I retired but still it's a part of life! Unfortunately one of my ways of dealing with it is to go on a sugar binge!!! That of course leads to more stress when I realize what I've done and the guilt sets in! Like you, I need to always be doing something and I love to rearrange anything & everything! I also love to sort! My husband seems to never stress...and that stresses me out! How can anyone not stress from time to time??? I know you must miss your sister terribly. How blessed you were to have her in your life...she's still there, just in a spiritual way.

I'm also a boomer with three 20-somethings still at home and a parent in a senior apartment, I truly do understand.

Usually, I head for the mall and walk until I am ready to drop. then I am to tired to think about what was bothering me. <br />My latest is giving up blogging !?? Sometimes I think I am talking to myself, or I don't post enough. I don't do the parties, and that might be some of the reasons why it just sits there sterile<br />Most, I find it is having too much on our plates and we have to prioritize -- easier said than done. I am glad you have friends who are there for you.Connie Lendenhttp://memoriesofthelake.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526860960622808594.post-25904825468140472332012-01-29T11:19:35.653-05:002012-01-29T11:19:35.653-05:00Bless your heart.

I also shop...thrifty and junkie...and I putter around my house...just playing with my 'stuff'. Of course that wine looks good sometimes also!

She told me I must carry all my stress in my neck and shoulders! Ha! Surprise! I do a lot of the same things you do I guess. And sometimes I scream or cry or stomp. But mostly I'm pretty cool. :) And my neck and shoulders are as tight as a drum and full of knots!!!

Reading is a great escape for me also, but I prefer light humorous books to get my mind off my worries.<br /><br />I hope the rest of your weekend is a little more relaxing.Vickie @ Ranger 911https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847126296813987337noreply@blogger.com
