8/10/12........2nd stress entry

Friday, August 10, 2012

I have been squeezing the heck outta the stress ball i have @ work. apparently, the things i can't change are ganging up on my sanity and they have decided that this morning they will attack my stress level full force. i know there are things i have no control over. my mother has told me that all my life. however, since i am like my mother, i really desire to be able to control EVERYTHING and EVERYONE in my life (DH mostly). so, despite what he says to me (because many of the things i have heard many times before), i just simply don't believe him. i love him and i won't kick him outta the house. but, i just don't believe anything he tells me regarding looking for a job. i am so stressed about it, that i think i need to up my dosage of anti anxiety meds. otherwise, i will feel like i have to resort to drinking beer or wine most nights of the week. i really don't want to do that.
BTW, in order to try to keep my credit card paid off, and as a result be able to live on my income, i am cancelling/giving up some things that i enjoy but aren't necessities (Curves, Spoiling Pets For You, anything else i have gotten to yet). that doesn't make me happy, but apparently DH is who i should be focusing on and trying to make HIM happy??????????

    Keep squeezing that ball! Your mom was right -- the only thing you can control (or learn to control) is your reaction to the stressors in your life. (I just learned to consider that in the Stress Busters Challenge!!!)

My sister made me laugh yesterday in her response to her underemployed husband who swears he's running a real estate business: She gave him a choice -- which two days would you like to be responsible for depositing $xxx? The 1st and 15th or the 15th and 30th! He made the choice, and she went shopping for her daughters' school clothes! emoticon

Keep working, you can do it! emoticon
