Wordless Wednesday: Off The Fence in Maine

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

So my husband cannot believe that I haven’t checked in while on vacation. “Don’t you want to write a post?” he asked me.

But the truth is, beside some Twitter and Facebook updates, I have been resting my fingertips. And my brain. And just enjoying my time with my family. You never get these moments back, so I have been seizing them.

We are at the beach in Maine. I have surrendered to cottage cheese thighs, loads of ice cream, fries and wine daily, tons of New England clam chowder (my all time favorite) and lotsa lobster. I’m feeling fat and happy and free. And oh how great it feels.

So to my husband who can’t believe I haven’t written, I leave you only with a Wordless Wednesday. I think it depicts my head space in the most perfect of ways.

Wordless Wednesday: Vacation Alert

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

I don’t think I’ve ever reposted a blog post, but this morning I re-read an old vacation alert on WomenOnTheFence.com, and I realized I’m in the same boat today. So… here goes… a re-post.

As of today, I’m officially on vacation until August!

And as much as I love my writing– (it’s my passion you all know), sometimes we need a breather. Maybe I’ll drop in and say hi, and maybe I won’t. I’m not sure. And me the planner isn’t going to plan much over the next couple of weeks. I’m gonna seize the moment, be with the kids, swim, go to the beach, give my husband some good lovin’, and as Julia Roberts said in Pretty Woman, “Be still like vegetables. Lay like broccoli.”

On Vacation

Friday, December 24th, 2010

It’s Thursday night. I just finished putting two little boys to bed, with fever, and Motrin. Funny how when your kids get sick, they ALL get sick at the SAME TIME, and then mommy gets sick too (I’m warm now). Today they were out playing, tonight they’re out of commission. Daddy just got home from the pharmacy with more Motrin, and BRING THE NIGHT ON!

But truth is, for the first time, I don’t care. We’re all sick, we’ll all get better. And as of today, I’m officially on vacation! For TWO WEEKS.

Yes, in the over one-year of Blogging, I have never unplugged. Not once. But I promised my family this holiday season, I’d give my undivided attention. No more Blackberry and Twitter addiction– well, I won’t quit cold turkey, but I will definitely ease up. No more churning out Blog posts. No more constant replying to emails. Just solid, good ol’ fashioned family time. Playing with the kids, sipping peppermint lattes and going back to the basics. We need it. It’s been quite the year.
