Having a Break

Well you may have noticed the distinct lack of posting around here lately. I have had computer free weeks, let alone computer free days! With sickness coming and going around the family these past few weeks, I have hardly had the energy or motivation to do anything. I was starting to think I might never blog again, or tidy the house, put on make-up or wash any clothes. But I am starting to pick up now thankfully, and I am hoping my normal activities will start flowing again very soon. Thanks for being patient with me, especially for my swap partners, it is truly appreciated.
Last week we visited my mom & stepdad in England for a week. It was so great getting away, even though the flight is less than an hour, just getting on a plane seems liberating somehow, like driving down an open road. It was just good to chill out and see everyone and they really helped me get some much needed rest by taking Emily out, playing and baking cakes. Thanks for everything you two.
Since I have been back I am still finding it hard to get motivated but I have been trying to do a few things. I took Emily on an Easter Egg hunt at the local church. It was very cold and we weren't dressed appropriately (my lack of hunt experiences!), everyone but us had their wellies on! But she managed to find two eggs so the mission was successful, albeit short.
I have also done a little bit more painting in Emily's new room, so its not far off ready. We really need to get her in there as the house is getting more and more cluttered with things that don't have a place. Her new bed is in the box in our hall, along with other bits and pieces for her room and our bedroom is full of homeless stuff too. We really have to do a 'life laundry' and get this place de-cluttered. Its so hard not to keep stuff when you have so many hobbies.
