In a few hours, I am off to the UK for a week for work, then on to Malaysia with H and the kids for a week's holiday.
And in preparing for the week away from home and the fortnight away from work, it has been a mad, mad day today. Work (our week starts on Sunday, with Friday and Saturday being the weekend) was just an endless series of meetings where discussions went round and round, never reaching a conclusion. Planning and delegating work for the next fortnight when I will be away is always unsettling because I am never sure if things will go according to the way I planned them.
On the home front, equally chaotic. Getting things organised for the rest of the family for the week that I will be away - clothes ironed and put away; getting school supplies ready; meals prepared in advance...
Packing for two trips and two climates - I am back at home only for a couple of hours between trips, so need to ensure everything is arranged for the Malaysia holiday beforehand.
In between the running around, I am stealing a few moments to sit here and write.
These pictures calm me. They remind me of peaceful walks along the beach.
Now, on with the packing...

Wishing you simultaneously energy and calm in the midst of your whirlwind of preparations! :)
Remember to stop and breathe deeply periodically. And what are those plants/blooms I see? How unique your photos. By the way - is there room in your suitcase for the UK trip?
Oh Sandy I was just gonna ask Kamana if I should carry her suitcase, but with you in it...well I'll go for it and we will have fun all of us together.
Kamana have a great trip to the UK and after that on your holiday with all the family.
Enjoy your time off!

Have a wonderful back to back holiday!. I have no idea what those phtots are, but they look like eyes watching over you, making sure wyou get everything done.
i know i'm a little behind, but safe travels!
i have always laughed at the the reality that one often needs a holiday to recover from the holiday and its preparations.
enjoy it though and especially enjoy the time away with the family.
thank you for your care and concern for me.
This photo perfectly suits your experience. See that circle in the center—YOU!
Be safe! I'm all done with the raising kids thing. Makes me a little tired just reading it!
