I am a specialist for an engineering company. I have OCD. I do not like Bill Nye. I think Bill Nye is handsome.
I have a couple kids. My husband is a pastor. I went to Mexico when I was young. I enjoy Mexico. I will take my kids there on school breaks. My kids enjoy Mexico. I have a facebook account where I sell stuff. I think Bill Nye is handsome. I have a side hustle. I just landed a big client. My new client is a long-term prospect.
When will your husband return? He's supposed to be back in a few months.  This is the part of his job that I struggle with most. I'm sure it's hard to be apart, but at least he is doing good and important work. Do you stay busy with your side hustle? With him gone I stay busy with everything!  The kids are a handful and my side business definitely keeps me busy.  But I enjoy it better when my husband is home and can take some things off my plate.  What about you? Do you have any family? I am married, but we don't have kids. We have a cat though. That's a nice little family!  Do you have any plans for children?  I consider mine a blessing but there are definitely days when they challenge my love and patience. We don't have plans for children right now. My job is very demanding, and I'm not sure how well I would cope with the mess of kids with my OCD, haha Yes, that could be a real challenge.  Do you do anything to help with your OCD?  I know that mindfulness is suggested for people with OCD a lot nowadays. I see a counselor, which helps a lot. I've tried some mindfulness apps, but I have a hard time settling my mind. I guess I just need more practice, because I do think it could be really helpful, not just with OCD, but with work stress as well. Do you practice mindfulness? I'm sure it would be beneficial on the more challenging days with your kids! I've done a bit.  It's definitely something that takes commitment, and the help it provides isn't overnight or obvious.  It's incremental, but I do think it helps with stress and anxiety and all that.  I wish I could get my kids to practice it.  But I'm glad you're seeing a counselor. That's encouraging to hear. I'll stick with it and hope I get better at it! Maybe when your kids get a little older, they'll see the benefits. How does your cat fit into your OCD?  Does their hair drive you crazy?
