Hubby and I went away for the weekend.  It was for a wedding, but we made it a “trip!”.  Just the two of us for three whole days (almost) and oh-my-goodness was it ever nice.  Yes we missed the kids.  I had never been away from the twins overnight so that was a smidge nervewracking, but all in all it was a wonderful, relaxing and connecting weekend.  And to answer all your questions . . . yes, we found PLENTY to talk about other than our children! 

So I find myself Tackling a Tuesday this week.  A strange tackle to be sure, but I know I’m not the only mom who has major damage control to do after a weekend away!  It’s not just getting the kiddos back on track with their routine and home-life, but it’s the overwhelming catching up on laundry, cleaning and such after such a weekend that can be the “straw that broke the camel’s back”. 

I’m trying to stay positive and maintain the wonderful outlook on life and family that I gained during our weekend away . . . how long will it last?  I simply need to stick to the plan, maintain my focus.  I almost feel like I’m a player on a sports team (LOL) and have to “keep my eye on the ball”.   It is so easy for me to get distracted by everything around me and I simply must keep the focus I have established. 

I would like to begin making a schedule for myself each day.  I often end up feeling like I didn’t accomplish anything and that really stinks.

So this week I’m tackling coming home, getting laundry done (ha), getting everyone back on track with the routine, get my meals printed out for the next week (thank goodness I don’t have to completely tackle that task, it’s done for me woohoo!) and catch up on designs.  Oh, and I almost forgot, I also need to compose another review/giveaway to begin tomorrow!  Whew!  And when I’m done with all that I’m going to try to grab a cup of coffee and sit down to visit each and every one of your blogs so I can say hello to all of my wonderful readers!
