How Not to Return From Vacation

How Not to Return From Vacation

I’m home. And overwhelmed.

~ Don’t fly home from vacation with a tummy bug. You will be miserable and the other passengers on the plane won’t appreciate it.

~ Don’t rip your kitchen cabinets down the day you return while you should be cleaning and unpacking. You will then need to paint your kitchen instead of doing laundry.

~ Don’t return to Florida from New York in August – you will die of climate shock.

~ Don’t go 7 weeks of letting email pile up and don’t take a zillion photos of everything for 7 weeks or you will get home and have over 2,000 emails to go through and over 3,500 photos to sort out. Okay, the photos thing you can do – but be prepared to be overwhelmed.

~ Do enjoy being in your own home, your own space, with your people where it is totally comfortable and you can make coffee in your underwear if you want to.

~ Do ignore all the things you have to do to organize and unpack and head to the beach (or pool or park) instead.

I’ll be back when I am done deleting emails, sorting pictures and painting walls.

    I am glad your back. I missed you – the kind of feeling you get when you drive past your friends place, and you know there is nobody home, and won’t be for awhile – but I’m glad you got to have a wonderful break also…

    Welcome home….Unfortunately, All good things come to an end . We live in one of those places that people LOVE to come visit in the summer. Right now I would kill to make coffee in my underwear. Oh, and ditch the bra too. Smiles!!!!!!!
