More of the Same Craziness

I’m sure you’re all sick of hearing my crazy ramblings that have nothing to do with the dogs. I’m pretty sick of it myself, but I can’t seem to get away from the spinning in my head lately. It’s definitely a habit that I’d like to get rid of. It’s not so bad that I like to sort through things from every possible angle and then I want to come to a decision. The part of the habit I’d like to change is that when I’m trying to sort through something, sometimes I get stuck and I can’t seem to shut my brain down. I just spin and spin and spin about it in my head. My husband, on the other hand, likes to think about things in his own time and he rarely feels the terrible pressure to come to a decision quickly. So, the longer he takes to get around to thinking about things, the more time I have alone with my crazy thoughts. As a result, the more you’ll probably hear more of the same ramblings from me. Ugh! Sorry!
So, while I wear myself out mentally running through scenarios that haven’t happened yet, and might not ever happen, he is much more productive. He is looking for work, but he’s also just catching up on things around here that need to be done, like an oil change for the car. Or looking into a tune up for the truck. Another day he worked on some cabinets for his mom. The thing I envy most, is that he has the ability to just set aside his thoughts and relax too. I soo wish I could do that. He can just watch some tv, or surf for information about electronics that he’d like to get, or read about random stuff like an Acura Integra, a car we don’t even own. LOL I can do that too, but while I’m doing it, I’m thinking about ten other things. I don’t know…I better watch out, he’ll be ready to send me to the Houston auto repair place for an overhaul on my brain. Anyway, enough rambling for now. I’ll get back to dog training stuff later on today.

Mom does the same kind of exhausting thinking that you do so she really sympathizes! Try to figure out a way to give yourself a break now and then – agility helps mom stop thinking for awhile!
Sometimes I do that too…but mostly here it’s my husband that overthinks things. I think it wears you out. I often find that if I write down the things I have to do or have to think about that I can relax a bit, because I don’t have to “remember” it all in my head. And I can refer back to the list and work through them one by one. Hope things get easier for you guys soon!
