Sigh - I want to go back

By about 3:30 this afternoon, after a rather unproductive morning & afternoon, I wondered why I was so unmotivated to do much of anything and why I was operating in slow motion. Despite my lack of motivation, I did manage to exercise, do a little yard work, watch Ben play outside for a while, shower, get dressed, make my bed, and feed the kids. But, it took me till 3:30 pm to do just that! My house was a mess and I had suitcases to unpack. As I questioned my lack of enthusiasm for doing the basic things that needed to be done, it occurred to me that I wanted to be back on vacation. We just returned from almost a week at the cabin late last night & frankly, I want to go back. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable time being together. We enjoyed being in the great outdoors, and every day was virtually carefree and lackadaisical - sleeping in, bird watching, chilling, and playing were common activities during the days last week. So - after that - who really wants to put away suitcases, fold laundry, and clean up? Not me!

Fittingly, the weather today rather suited my mood. We had a nice down pour (here's Lacey checking out the rain) - which reminded me of a couple rainy afternoons we had at the cabin.

Maybe tomorrow will be a little more productive . . .maybe not.

ps - sorry I have been a "bad" blogger once again. I have lots of pictures to post from our eventful last few weeks - so I hope to catch you up on the latest & greatest around here soon enough!
