How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Too Blessed to be Stressed

in Everyday on

As I lay in bed last night I was dwelling about the hundred little things that had to be done before Monday!

The laundry from our vacation last week. Don’t judge, That’s how I roll.

The ever growing list of “must do items” for the PTA I got sucked into. Sigh. Seriously what was I thinking saying yes to this? Every time my blackberry goes ping ping new message I jump. I think I am developing a twitch!

It looks like a small bomb went off in the laundry room.

Don’t even get me started on the garage.

Blissdom Canada is fast approaching and I really have not given it a second thought. Must get on clothes shopping and a shoe hunt.

A birthday party for my little one next weekend!

My stupid cat needs to go back to the vet.

A charity event I’m hosting is coming up too quickly. I’m not ready!

The pool is full of leaves..oh I don’t want to close it already.

..and then I stopped myself, because I realized I am too blessed to be stressed.

Today I have:


One Happy daughter at Gymnastics.

A second at the Theatre with her sweet little friend.

A hot Starbucks in my hand and a new found addiction to Twitter. Umm yes, I may be stalking you right now to say hello!

Laundry, lists, party planning, PTA, it will get done. It always dones.

Tonight a fire, some hot chocolate and a game of scrabble while my Hubby’s is distracted by Football. I confess, it is the only way I can beat him.

I must be getting old because this kind of day, it thrills me to no end.

    8. Thanks for the reminder to count my blessing instead of stressing over life’s little inconveniences 🙂

      I’m telling you though once the word is out that you are a volunteer for the school…they hunt you down. One year I was the “room mom” for both of my kids classes. What was I thinking?!?!

    12. The best way to deal with our never ending To Do lists. Just look around at the family we have been blessed with and enjoy the moments.
