adios amigos.

i have been physically, emotionally and socially swamped as of late and 

i am definitely starting to feel the toll.

playing with Cal on the floor and he's laughing hysterically thinking i'm pretend dozing off on him, but i'm really. dozing. off. on him.

Russ asking if we can please just stay in every once and awhile because every night he walks in the door, changes clothes and we walk right back out. over scheduled. 

and what usually rolled off my back, what i usually just shook off and said "oh they're just going through a phase" started to feel like "oh man, this is the new normal" with a several close relationships in my life.

new responsibilities, new relationships & dynamics, new normals and learning to say "no" to fun things have me feeling totally not like myself.

all this to just say that next week the Frame crew and

a big chunk of my side of the family are spending next week at the beach.

and good gracious do i need it. we all do. 

i've got scheduled posts all week so you won't see a lull in the action, but besides boogie boarding and bocce ball, and chasing babies down the shore, there will be nothing but lulls for me. sounds heavenly, doesn't it?

happy weekend!
