"What do you do to personally RE-BOOT?" When you're over-stressed, underpaid, overwhelmed and just depleted all all energy and enthusiasm, what do you do to get yourself internally re-charged and powered back up?"

Those who know me personally can confirm that I believe SLEEP is the cure for EVERYTHING. (Think Gus with the Windex from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding")

Having a bad day? Take a nap!

Feel like you're coming down with something? Take a nap!

The world and all it's inhabitants clearly have it out for you? You guessed it, take a nap!

When I am down and out, and feel like I am at the end of my rope - it is generally as a result of some sort of sleep deprivation. I am sure this applies to most humans, when I am tired - I can't focus, things get forgotten. Obligations are not met - this leads to me feeling completely overwhelmed and out of control, weepy and utterly without the ability to reason (Think 3 year old that missed their nap)

When I am well-rested, all faculties are restored. Mountains resume their existence as molehills, and I can think clearly again.

As I get older (wiser, better?) and anticipate what my life will be like when I have children, I imagine I will need to find a new way to reboot when sleep-deprived. In my experience, children are not generally keen to "Be good while mommy takes a nap".

Hello Again!

I have come out of hibernation to blog!

Shara proposed that we bring the blog project back! It's a little different this time around, we have some new bloggers added to the mix! Welcome Sara & Wendy to Topical Tuesdays!

This week's topic is courtesy of Shara, who asks:

"What do you like to do to keep cool on a hot day?"

Oh boy, Shara! I don't think this topic could be much more topical!

Well, the past few weeks in northern IL have been pretty darn hot! Today was no exception!

I wish I could say that I take advantage of the warmth, truth is - I HATE to be sweaty.

On a sweltering summer day, you can find me poolside or in my makeshift "meat locker" of a bedroom.

I am fortunate to have family in the vicinity with pools & my husband, Kosta, got so tired of me complaining about how hot it was in our bedroom and even though we have central air, he bought us a window air conditioner.

Yesterday, I got up a little earlier than usual for a Sunday because I knew it was going to be a hot one. I mowed the lawn, then Kosta and I went for a run - and I can't tell you how awesome it was to pop in the shower, then lounge on the bed for the afternoon in the delicious, crisp AC.
