How I Cope

When I'm feeling overwhelmed with life, frustrated, down in the dumps, etc. Instead of cleaning up a mess (which is one reason why I'm overwhelmed and frustrated), I just make a new one!!!

It's true. When I feel overwhelmed, I decide to make something new - I can't stop myself. I shut out what I'm supposed to be doing, and put my focus on a new project. (which includes cooking...)

I think, because I feel like there is so much in life that I have no control over (children's tantrums, husband not doing what I ask, scribbles on the wall - you catch my drift...), that I need to do something that I can control. To actually start something, and see it accomplished - like a craft or cooking a meal. Where I can use my brain to figure out something, other than feel like my brain might explode if a child yells my name one more time....

I mean, I could clean my room, but it just seems too overwhelming... so I'll just make something. :)

Here's my latest project that I'm SOOOO excited about!! Seriously, I'm so excited to use these!

Off to my next project... or cleaning the kitchen...

Hmmm....
