I always have a difficult time getting back into the groove at work after enjoying some days off. I was lulled into a sense of relaxation, with no real discernible schedule. I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some quality (as well as quantity) time with the kids, and even that other parental unit that I'm married to. In other words, no worries, no stress (if you don't count the arguments between the kids I needed to break up). It makes it tough to even think about going back.

I'm fortunate enough to be one of those people who really loves what they do at their place of employment. I've said it here many times before; it's like I have finally found out what I want to be when I grow up. This makes actually returning to work a bit easier. It will be tough tomorrow morning to drag my sorry rump into work, but once I get there, and dig in to the ever growing workload and the regular shouts of "I needed this yesterday", I'll be fine.

In other news, today was a blustery, rainy and downright nasty day. My husband had to go into work for a bit so I took the girls and two of their friends out on errands with me. We needed to go back to Walmart to get some more lights for the house because our original estimate on how much we would need came up short. We then headed deep into the heart of the city, which was interesting due to the torrential rain and traffic, to pick up a leotard and tights that Chickie needed for the upcoming Tree Lighting Ceremony to be held downtown on Tuesday. They are first going to perform at the local convalescent hospital, and then go join the festivities, first in the parade, and then in the performance on stage.

On that note, I believe I'll shut down the computer and watch some more episodes of "Untold Stories of the ER" with the girls.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving (in the US), and for the others, a wonderful weekend.
