There are no do-overs

But honestly..... That's one vacation I do not want to repeat.

Went back to work today, feeling almost 100%. Almost.

And today didn't really suck, if ya don't count the fact that it wasn't spent at home chillin.

I did enjoy my last day off so maybe that helped prepare me for having to go back to work this morning. Em and I spent the day together. Too bad we couldn't convince the guys to get the heck out of our hair for a few hours but we worked around them. We spent the entire morning watching Gilmore Girls and we pulled out the folding table, set it up in the living room and played with paper all day. Well, mostly I played with paper (4 pages done and a whole lot of long-lost supplies sorted and even used). I feel bad that Em just couldn't get into it which is usually my issue, not hers. I think maybe her very sore tail bone had something to do with it. Poor girl slipped on ice and fell a couple weeks ago and is still hurting.

I still have 2 days available from my 2012 holidays to use up before the end is April so I foresee an extra long weekend or two in my near future.

Maybe that is the way my holidays are meant to be spent.

My Spring Stay-cation

AKA

My Pity Party

So my holidays, the 6 days of freedom that I'd booked off work, that I'd been looking forward to so much. It sucked!!!

Since early December, we've been insanely short staffed and I'd waited and waited to take the last of my 2012 holidays until things had sort of settled down. I was so exhausted, and so excited and so ready to just chill at home. I had nothing special planned. Just take care of some things I've been too tired to do lately. I had a mental list of some much needed spring cleaning mixed with some reading, maybe some knitting and definitely some scrapbooking.

How much of that got done?

None. Nothing. Not a damn thing.

Between sick kids and sick me.... My stay-cation has been a big bust. And now, still feeling weak from being sick ( how can I be tired.... I spent 36 hrs straight in bed) I'm working on all the laundry from the massive puke fest this week has been and having myself a little pity party!

Hugs.

I Can Blog from MY PHONE?!?!?

How sweet is that and how did I not know this before?!?

The trick of course was remembering my username and password, which becomes especially tricky when you've changed Internet providers and set up new emails a couple times in the last few years. But I figured it all out and here I am blogging from my phone.

No excuses now, not to update the old blog on a regular basis.... aside from lack of blog worthy content, but I'm sure I will be able to come up with stuff occasionally.

So, setting myself up to blog on my phone takes care of one thing off my "things to do while on holidays" list and since I'm on a roll with that list (and nobody is currently puking) I'm going to go tackle some more of my list while I have a chance.

Hugs
