Back to Reality!



Isn’t it strange when you return from a vacation it feels like you never left?
Other things I notice when I come back from vacation is how busy a person I am. How do I handle this life day in and day out? How does a person juggle all of this? Why do I have to be in charge of so many things? And people? And have so many repsnsibilities? Why oh why?

How do I do this???

(sob here for the girl with the tan)
Don't worrry tomorrow I wil be in control again. Maybe?
Other observation is how habits don’t take long to form. Two weeks on vacation and my body is already programmed for certain habits I picked up while away. Today at 3pm a sugar craving hit me and I went down to the vending machine and bought a chocolate bar at work. I have not done this is 8 years ever!!! I reserve junk food for weekends or if out at a restaurant maybe a dessert here and there but never at work.

I think my body was missing our 3pm treats on vacation.

Also literally since 2pm I have felt like I could take the largest nap. Could have something to do with the fact that our plane got in at 1:30am and I had only a few hours’ sleep-but think more likely that my body is craving that cuddly nap that I took each day from 4-5:15 just before the sun went down.

And most of all-as much as I love being on vacation and being away-I am glad to know that I also love my real life too. I am glad that I take pleasure in both.

Tired, tired, thousand plus emails, 7 parent teacher meetings tonight, not a single morsel of clothing unpacked, a list of things long as Santa’s of what to get done in next 48 hrs….But so grateful and happy to have gone away…and to be home. Grateful that I do..and grateful that I can.

And immensely grateful for the Best Mom and Didi in the entire world who allows it all to happenJ
