I'm having a TERRIBLE day and would like some internet hugs, please. UGH...Arguing with the hubs...Screaming baby who won't nap...Family photo session cut short because of screaming baby who won't nap...Had my makeup done and the lady spent 20 minutes trying to cover up my undereye circles...Feeling frumpy and gross...Tired...Spilled Coke in my car...Feeling achy and miserable.
We've all been there. How do you get through it?

Awww.. I love music so I'll just sit in a room by myself and listen to somethinencouraging and soothing and that usually helps me feel positive again

Have a good cry session? Not the most uplifting suggestion but a good cry gives me a release and makes me feel better.

Thanks you guys...Seriously, does Hellobee have to go public? I like you all alot like this. 
I'm leaving LO with the hubs in an hour to go to Starbucks with a friend. That's all I can manage today as LO is tremendously fussy.
Tomorrow? I'm taking a couple of hours.
SIGH.

@Rubies - that sounds great that you can leave the house! I hope your friend lets you vent a bit!

Painting usually works wonders for me. I'm an art therapist (well I'm a SAHM, but my degree is in art therapy). I'm a true believer in using art as my therapy! Whenever I have a bad day I ask my hubby to watch the baby for an hour so I can get some sort of craft or painting done.

We all have our bad days, and I hope today will end on a good note. Glad that you can get out of the house for a bit. That always helps me.

Awwww. Hugs! I lost it this morning because I didn't have time to walk to the hairdressers and had to drive. How stupid is that! Mostly I think the stress (read: mess) of starting solids is killing me. I remind myself how lucky I am to have these "problems"... after I have had a good cry. Starbucks therapy is always a winner - cheaper than retail therapy!

Hugs! I know for me I typically cancel any plans I can to simplify my day and try to just veg out at the house as much as possible. Put on some music or a favorite movie. Grab some chocolate and try to relax

What helps me is to stay calm! I know it's hard when you are tired, the baby wont sleep/stop crying and you can't get anything done, but it really does help from adding fuel to the fire. It also helps to recolonize that it is not your fault or the babies fault and that there is tomorrow to do X,Y,&Z. The other thing that is a huge lifesaver for me is that my mom lives close and helps out when she can, even if she is just with me, but I am still doing everything, it's a help!
Oh I hear you on the mama lack of sleep as well. I'm averaging 3-4 hours a night, and those are not solid hours DH is on a crazy work schedule so I do everything with our son. Makes for one tired, but fulfilled mama. **Hugs**
