It’s always surprising to me – though it shouldn’t surprise me at all – that summer can get away from me if I’m not careful. Our “lazy days” with no plans quickly turn into a calendar filled with playdates, and commitments, and projects, and trips. Because I constantly battle busy-ness, sometimes I have to deliberately slow down, take stock, and breathe.
There are a couple of things coming up at church, and I need to plan. I need some uninterrupted time with Alex (the child? At Plattapalooza? Not a fan of waiting in line or taking turns. We need to work on that). I need to sit on my front porch and drink diet Coke and watch the moon creep up over the trees. I need to hang out with my husband without trying to fold laundry or make lists or blog at the same time.
In short, I need to get away from this computer for a couple of days. A girl can’t keep up the pace of posting sixteen times a day without an occasional break, you know. :-)
I’ll see y’all Wednesday-ish.
Good for you! You surely have other things to do besides entertain/spur on/convict us – so enjoy your break, and come back ready to entertain/spur on/cinvict us again. If all goes well here in computerdom I might be back about when you are. I was just thinking last night a good goal would be to sit down and visit with my husband without doing 99 other things at the same time – so maybe just maybe he’d think I actually treasured our time together.
Little ones don’t stay little long enough, and husbands need undivided attention, too.
Enjoy your break!
Am I the only one who votes NO on this proposition? You’ll be missed!
O.K. I’m with Lauren–my vote is NO! Is this open to discussion?
Enjoy your blogcation!

I know exactly what you mean, BooMama. I haven’t posted in a week because I have been so busy. I will try to post something tonight if Demon Blogger will let me. Enjoy your blogcation. We’ll be here when you get back to blogging. :-)
Enjoy the break girl! See you soon :)
:)
Wondered when you were going to take a little break. None of us likes it much but I’m sure we all understand. Good for you! But hurry back please.
Is it wensday yet?
Enjoy your time away and on re-focusing.
Bye bye . . .see you soon enough – Wednesday-ish comes real quick if your not looking. But enjoy your time!
I go through “blog-fasting” from time to time. The Lord spoke to my heart a short time back and said, “Don’t write so much about your life that you forget to live it.” It was an epiphany. So, I’ve cut down quite a bit.
Like you, I battle constant busyness and have to purposely make myself slow down and take a moment to just enjoy my life and family.
