I find myself taking more time to chill lately. Whether it is the pool that is draining me (no pun intended) or that I'm just easing up on my old self a bit--I've been making some time in the evenings to just sit and relax. And I have to admit to enjoying it. No phone calls, no computer, no running errands--I plop myself on the couch and relax.
Unlike the rest of the world, we will not be traveling to some exotic warm spot for Spring Break. Colin has one week for break and Em has another, which is not conducive to packing up the family and flying to Florida. Instead, I'm going to take a few days off of work to just spend time with each kid individually. Maybe cram in some whole family time in there as well. Either way, I'm going to make the time to just breathe a bit.
So, if in the midst of this there are no stories of Stripey Goodness or Life in the Lap Lane, please just enjoy the 2 minutes of freedom that I have given you as well. It's one less blog you have to visit, one less comment to make, and 2 minutes completely to yourself to close your eyes, take a mini-daydream, or maybe just sit and do nothing. It's my new Spring Break from Blogging idea. Feel free to join me if you wish--it might be good for your soul as well.
Oh, I'm a big talker--I will probably be posting anyway, but I just like the option of not having to.

"...the option of not having to." You will find that to be liberating, totally. It is the option I have finally selected. I still post, but I don't have to! Enjoy your time at home with the fambly.
Have fun with the kids.
I'm taking a break tomorrow because I just feel behind all the time with working so much and trying to blog every day. I hope you enjoy your time with Colin this week!
Lin, whatever it is you do on break, may you enjoy it...the joys of not having to do anything is sometimes enough!
Me too...I write when I want to...Enjoy your kids...
Have fun, Lin! Our first term break for 1 week starts on Monday.
I've been taking more time away from the computer than usual lately. It's been nice to enjoy some other things
Whatever you do, have fun
I keep telling myself to take a computer break once a week, never seems to happen though.
No problem...you enjoy your break, you deserve to chill out for a bit! No worries....I never worry... i just post when I feel like it! :)
I was always really bummed when they had different vacation weeks too! Everything changes when they leave home---booooo!
But relaxing and hanging away from the computer is a good thing!
That is so true about taking some time for yourself and just chill. I find myself doing that too. I do get a little burned out on the computer but I do love visiting everyone. So keep doing that 2 minute chill time on the sofa. Glad you found me.
