Am I The Only One That Can't RELAX?!

Dear Moms,

I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off... here and there, hither and yon, toting bales and lifting barges!! LOL okay, maybe not all of that, but I have been "hyper busy!"  You know, on Star Trek/Star Wars (I'm a Star Wars fangirl, but I'm a trekkie too) when they would go into Hyperspace/Warp Speed, and the stars would shoot past the windows all fast and look like lines instead of dots- yeah, that's ME!

So, it occurred to me- well, it didn't actually occur to ME per se, my therapist (Yes, I am in therapy AGAIN!! lol) brought it to my attention. He basically said, when he sees me- since he's known me, I always seem very "up" always in motion...then he asked, "Do you ever just relax and sit down?" ~Cue stupid look~

Now I honestly can say that I looked at him, instantly chuckled and politely said, "Ummm, no- I don't know how." 

Don't get me wrong, I KNOW what activities can induce my relaxed state, and HOW to implement them. But, what I DON't know how to do is fit them into my chaotic, stressful, LIFE! I mean, a bubble bath sounds great, but the tiny fingers under the bathroom door I can actually lock are kinda distracting. Then, there's the other door of the bathroom that I CAN'T lock- and the smallish people that will barge in with questions, comments, requests, and or the dreaded, "I gotta go POTTY!" 

You are probably sitting there thinking, send the smallish people someplace else and THEN relax, duh!! Yeah- about that. See, the way my support system is set up, there are very few places that I can just do a drive by drop off, or even a PLANNED drop off. Then, there's the fact that I have SIX market research contracts with six different companies, my own company, my vlogs, my blogs, everythinggirlslove.com, and maintaining the social media presence for all of my entrepreneurial enterprises... Holy crap, I just realized I really need a personal assistant! LOL  

Then, there's the cooking, cleaning, refereeing disagreements, nursing boo boos, laundry, dogs, doctor's appointments, "Magical Creature" encounters (E.B., S.C., T.F. etc) and paying the bills, and buying all the junk! Sooooo, here I sit. Actually, truth be told when I am sitting to write a post-well, THAT is the longest time I will spend sitting still! Even when I am binge watching TV I am folding laundry, taking notes for a new post, making a grocery list or SOMETHING! HELP! I need a MOMtervention!

Dear Moms,  OMIGERD!! I have been swamped! Let me fill ya in: I am STILL in school full time, for my Graphic Arts Associates Degree.  I am getting the kids ready for a brand spanking new school year in an entirely new city AND state. I am getting my company: Essential Bath Elements off of the ground. I am working with the susband (soon to be husband) on both the ministry AND the cleaning company.  Oh- and did I forget to mention that I am MOVING?? AGAIN?!? Yeah, moving- once again. We have been in this house for a little under six months...but, the landlord was doing fraudulent things by renting it out during a foreclosure. Long story short, Fannie Mae purchased our home and then asked if we would like to continue renting, OR they offered us, "relocation assistance" to move. $$$$$ Cha-CHING! I was ready to pack while we were still on the phone with the broker! 👀 Am I alone?! Hands? Needless to say, I am scouting places for boxes and taking art...

Migraine and Anemia Rantings  Dear Moms, I recently had to face the truth about the seriousness of living with anemia. I have had anemia my entire life and never knew the true depths of how ugly it can get. I have discovered in my research, that living with anemia is wrought with hidden pitfalls that deplete the body's natural iron levels. Seemingly, every other thing one puts in their mouths on a daily basis is a culprit; robbing the body of iron. Soda, cow's milk, tannins in tea and coffee, and omeprazole (active ingredient in Prilosec an OTC heartburn medication) all deplete your iron levels. So, having an already depleted blood iron content (being anemic) and enjoying the ingestion of the abovementioned items... ¡No es bueno! Anemia is linked to restless leg syndrome and also known to be a cause of Anxiety and Depression. It causes insomnia, and even migraines! And all this time my mother just said I was "special" lol I was obviously being driven mad by ...
