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?
