Reality Isn't So Bad!

I went to bed last night with something like a sinking feeling in my stomach. After I purposefully wasted the entire day yesterday doing absolutely nothing of any productive value [wait - does vacation photo editing count?], I figured today would present me a stack of mayhem higher than the front door.

I was wrong. I work with two girls who did more than an ample job of holding down the fort last week, and I owe them huge, huge thanks for not creating a debachle out of anything while I was gone. Elisa & Lizzy - thank youuuuu!!!

Anyway, it was almost nice [I've gone mad, I know it.... ] being back in the office today, finding my routine groove with a twist of Jamaican mentality [no worries, mon!] to tackle the duties of a Monday.

After work, I picked up Sydni, who I absolutely could not wait to see! Last week would've been like any other week really, with her at her dad's, but there's something about being out of the country that made the time feel doubled. I was more than ready to see my mini.

With Sydni back, our family at home is complete with Rob, myself, Syd and our dogs. It's chaos, yes, but I missed them all last week and am glad to have them back.

I even managed to get some meal prep done for the rest of the week! Jamaican eating has me spoiled now, not for its elegancy necessarily, but for the frequency in which we were fed. Now I'm lazy and don't feel like lifting a finger to do anything around here. Hah.. just kidding. Luckily for me, Rob had some initiative to fix an ailing screen door problem, which helped light a fire under my tail, too.

Here's to the first week back!
