What do you do when you're in a bit of a funk? These days I've been feeling blah~~~...I feel like running through a field of wild flowers and screaming my head off! I just feel...UGH!
-
Maybe it's time to let your hubby take LO for a night so you can get out!
-
this is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I wander target. I buy something cheap and fun to make myself feel better. cheap retail therapy!
I know that's harder with a baby though, I haven't been there yet. I agree with artbee, maybe your DH can give you a night or day off?
-
you definitely need some time to yourself. also, get more sunshine. now that it has been warmer and i've been spending more time out in the sun, i feel rejuvenated.
-
That's exactely what I'd do. Go for a run or something I know makes me feel better. Also use your supports (friends, husband, parents, etc)
-
It's almost spring, it's almost spring, it's almost spring.
-
i force myself to socialize, and i try to spend more time outdoors. it really makes a difference! try to be outside as much as you can!
-
Thanks you guys! I'm waiting for LO to wake up from her nap so that we can go take a walk!
-
i'm SO feeling like that now. i'm like 2.5 weeks to d-day (hehe) and i'm definitely feeling ugh. blah. etc. would love to get another massage, but the last one i got was so painful (couldn't get in a comfy position).... plus, it's a lil dreary outside today.
-
go outside, take a walk, take baby to the park if its warm enough outside...get a sweet drink (java chip frap from starbucks, if you're not nursing), retail therapy online or even take a quick trip to gap/old navy just to browse.

@Rubies: I am too!!! I told Rob Sr. so many times in the past 2 days "I'm so unhappy".
I know it's hormones but I just can't get control of it. My girlfriend just emailed me about how she is stressed out as well, and we're going to get together for a fun dinner out. I never really had to have girls' nights before, but it really helps now. Just being able to escape my reality for a couple of hours is just what I need. Since nothing in my life is really that bad, it's just a matter of disconnecting myself from this negative emotion.
A date night with Rob Sr. helps too, but not nearly as much as just laughing with a girlfriend. Too bad I won't be able to partake in the cocktails though
-
@Rubies: Oh noes..
I just bought a Bob stroller so I can start running with LO! Excited to start exercising. Exercise endorphins are natural happy drugs! Maybe you should start running/walking too?

@chopsuey119: hehe your comment reminded me of one of my favorite movies, Legally Blonde: "exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people don't just kill their husbands."
-
@mrs. wagon: HAHA. I love Legally Blond...
Seriously though.. I ALWAYS feel better after a good run/exercise! 
-
@chopsuey119: I LOVE "Legally Blonde" - it's one of my favourite movies - such a feel-good type. I just got back from a brisk walk with LO and I definitely feel better. Phew!
-
@chopsuey119: I HATE running. I NEVER run, even when chased. As a kid, I hated playing 'Tag'...But walking, I can do!
-
@chopsuey119: @Rubies: yay for feeling better! Have you guys seen the musical? It's SO AWESOME. I've actually seen it live twice. The first time I saw it starring Laura Bell Bundy. It's such a great interpretation of the movie! I think you can find it in chunks on youtube.
-
When I"m feeling down in the dumps, I like to just walk around the mall and look around. I"ll grab a cup of my favorite coffee drink and just browse. Maybe even pick up a yummy lotion or something. Or if you like to read, maybe head over to a bookstore, grab some books, plop down on a couch with your coffee and read. That's always nice and relaxing.
-
I get out of the house and have some alone time with my sister and our best friend. Laughing always works wonders for me! I'll also try to squeeze in a pedicure when I can, too.
-
@Rubies: HAHAHAHAHAAH so funny! I love running. Especially after I'm done!
Glad you're feeling better. 
@mrs. wagon: Haven't seen the musical!!!! Love the movie though. I'm embarrassed to say this, but she made me wanna be a lawyer so I could wear fabulous suits.
Not even kidding..
-
OMG there's a musical for legally blonde?? Darn!! I missed it! I wonder if it'll ever come to LA. I LOVED legally blonde!
-
Aw, I'm sorry you're feeling down. Do smooches help? I can send you some. Smooochies!!
Hope your walk with lo helped a bit. I usually pull the covers over my head or bake something delicious and ridiculous when I'm feeling down.
-
@banana: it is AWESOME. I listen to the soundtrack all the time. I've already determined which character I'd play if given the chance (the geeky friend who helps her study for her LSAT)
-
@Rubies: hope you are feeling better! I go running, shopping or people watching. Doesn't always work but at least I am not sitting at home stewing in my own juices!
-
you need some time off girl!
I know it's hormones but I just can't get control of it. 
Glad you're feeling better. 
Not even kidding..
