dealing with stress

Stress. I hate that word. It almost stresses me out looking at it!! I feel like i get stressed so easy. I am not normally a neat person. But when it comes to time management I have to have everything planned out. If sometime comes up I get flustered. I feel like I am always flustered... BUT!! IT always works out for me somehow. I think God works in mysterious ways and I think that is one way that I notice it. I notice it a lot with school work, if I dont have something done that is due, magically my class will  be canceled or we will get out early in another class so i have time to finish it. 

Exercising always helps me be less stressed. but, if you dont lke to exercise that could make you more frustrated. IF I just take out a minute and tell myself its not a big deal. I always sweat the small stuff. I feel like everything is the biggest deal. I have to tell myself it will work out like it always does. OR if i have something to look forward to at the end of the day it helps me get past all the other stuff that I do not like to do

relationships...

One relationship that I would like to continue is a relationship with my mom. She is my best friend. Our relationship was never that strong untill I got into college. I think it changed because she started treating me more as an adult that a kid. We treat eachother more as best friends than mother and daughter. I call her by her first name which everything things is really weird, but i tell her everything.

one things to strenthen that, is to call every night and when she comes up for my volleyball games to go out to dinner with her after. I try to call every night but sometimes my day is a little too busy. You would think its easy to call and talk for 5 minutes, but when we talk on the phone we talk for an hour at least. When she comes up for my home games usually I make plans to go eat with friends or watch a movie after. I felt really bad this weekend because I did not go out to eat with her at all. I feel like a part of my day is missing if I dont get to talk to her everyday.

I have never been so homesick as I am right now. I am SOOO excited to go home for thanksgiving and to be with my friends and family.
