mwah to da sistahs who have not abandoned me

Sistahs!!  Ok, now I can blab.. I was so stressed this past week getting prepared to come here, finishing packing, packing for kids, stressing about flying.. whining etc.. that I just didn’t have the energy to post .   But now I am finally here.. sitting on a little stool (ok fine a BIG stool) with a little table and my computer in front of me.. on an open patio, looking at palm trees, feeling the breeze and finally seeing some sunshine and I am at peace.  We are staying with my mom and she has conveniently taken the kidlets on a LONG walk so now I am here writing to you.   On a personal note, I have to tell you that if I didn’t have this break, I probably would have internally combusted.  Ever have that feeling that you are running and spinning and spinning and feel like you can’t stop?  That’s how I was feeling.  I needed a break so badly… and I am telling you in my 40 years, (omg i’m forty?) I have never felt that way.  and i HATE to complain.  but I am.  And who else can I complain to but my sistahs right? LOL.  Ever have one of those weeks/months/years where you felt that you would explode or implode? LOL

I am planning on spending today with my art and stamping stuff near the pool watching the kids swim.. Can’t wait.

Ok enough complaining.  HMPH.  Let’s get down to some winnahs shall we?
