  I wish that I belonged to a gym nearby.  I am impressed with your working out and using it as a good thing in your life!

  Me?  I eat and I cry.  Good coping techniques, huh?    Actually, when I am having a rough go of it, I do my best to get out of the house.  A change of scenery typically helps.  If all else fails, there is internet shopping!

  PS--I responded to your post below.

  I definitely take a long hot shower. DH works 2nd shift and when he gets home, I give him a moment to unwind and then I have him watch LO while I get a nice shower in. Sometimes it's nice to just relax and if I need to cry I can cry like a baby and I know that nobody can hear me. I never appreciated a hot shower so much before having a baby!

  Getting out of the house, with or without LO. And taking a long, hot, steamy shower. Going on a walk. Those are my tricks.

  I bundle up both boys, put them in the stroller and take a long walk.

  They feel better getting outside, I feel better getting some exercise, and if DH is home it gives him a break too.
