Remember the beach picture from yesterday?
I'm so ready to dip my toes in the water. Actually, I'm ready to dive headfirst through a wave and try to keep my bikini on since sometimes doing that can cause it to get sucked into the surf.
I digress.
While I'm looking forward to the vacation, the beach and the time with Mr. Potts, I'm getting stressed out over spending that much time with his mother. Last year about the same time we spent a week with his mom and step dad in the Outer Banks. The recap you can read here.
While it was pretty and we had a nice time, it was stressful for me.
With the family arriving today and heading to the beach tomorrow (we're going tomorrow after work) we'll be spending 5 days with them.
While 5 days is not a full week, it is still a bit much for me. So I may just be a bit stressed out. And remember, I'm a worrier, so I may be working myself up over nothing.
I'm trying the calming breaths already, but I don't think it is working.
I had a snack-size bag of Lays and an iced honey bun yesterday.
So in order to fit into my clothes when we come back (I'm an eater - I eat when I'm stressed and as you can see, I don't make the best choices), any words of wisdom on how to deal with a mother in law who stresses you out or just totally ignores you?
