I'm feeling better.  This can be because the tax season ends Friday or because I booked us a long weekend away at the end of the month or both. 

The end of the tax season most definitely doesn't mean the end of my busy work schedule but not seeing so many clients a day does help to reduce the stress level.  We are all going away for Jason's birthday at the end of the month.  He loves the place we are going to.  It's his absolute favourite place.  I even tried to bribe him into going to the sea but he would have nothing of that lol

Some things I'm doing to reduce my stress level:

• Say no
• I am trying to force myself to only think/worry about one thing at a time.  I have this thing where I have a zillion thoughts running through my mind, things that need to get done.  Now I am trying to teach myself to make notes of all the things and only concentrate on one thing at a time.
• Stop trying to force so much work into one day.  I push myself to complete whatever I'm busy with before I go home in the afternoon.  I set goals for myself and I work at it as fast as possible to get it all done in my time frame.  Which is most often only mine and not my client's. 
• Spend more time doing fun things with the boys.  It always relaxes me.  Instantly.
• Take my time nursing Zander as my time.  Where I sit back and think of nothing else but nursing him and stroking his little chubby hands.

I have an eye infection.  I wore no make-up today.  I wonder what my clients thought of me!  Well, I normally don't' wear much anyway, so maybe no-one noticed?  One can only live in hope hey!
