The last 2 weeks have been insanely busy. My daughter is playing softball and my son has friends he likes to spend time with. I’ve been feeling a bit of burnout as well. I’ve been working way to hard and needed a bit of a break. I’ve been trying to quit a 20yr smoking habit. I decided to join the YMCA and get some exercise. I think it would be good for me. I’ve decided to revamp my crazy schedule a bit and take more time for creative design and me. Until now I had been getting up at 4 am to start carding fiber for the store working until 3pm with store pursuits and pictures. From 3 till 6 was kids homework, running around and dinner then back to the grind until about 10 pm. I was enjoying it but working too hard. I had been reading 60+ blogs a week and scouring the internet on ways to improve the blog and my store. Quite frankly I fell hard. I’ve gone almost 2 weeks without getting behind the computer except to post to the blog and check e-mail. No twitter, no facebook, plurk or digg, I just needed a break. I sat and crocheted or knitted. I’m starting to get back into the swing of things again. I am wondering if anyone else, has ever fallen this hard. I would love to hear your stories and recovery techniques.
And because I think every post should have pictures, here are a few gratuitous farm pics.

Thank you for the lovely fiber! I got it today as I was running out the door for a business trip, so I didn’t really get to appreciate it as much as I’d like. It looks gorgeous though and I know I’ll enjoy spinning it up.
I’m glad to hear that you’re taking a little break. Your schedule sounds CRAZY! There simply aren’t enough hours in the day to do all the things you’ve been doing. Take care of yourself.
You are quite welcome Penny I’m glad you love the fiber. My schedule is too crazy. I need to learn how to tone it down and not expect sooo much from myself.
