Wow, I've been busy. And not the good kind of busy. The tired kind. The kind where things I enjoy doing get pushed aside and then I (sometimes) turn into a nasty person because I am taking care of everyone else and not taking care of myself!
Does that sound selfish? I hope not, because I don't feel like I am a selfish person. Sometimes I just need to do things for me so that I am a happier and better-functioning person for everyone else around me, including my family.
Some things I have let go in the past several weeks are: this blog, excercising, having a regular girl's night out with friends, reading, and getting to relax in the evening after the kiddos are in bed.
Why? Because of life. I have been doing SO much hair, the kids have had SO many activites, sports, and just plain STUFF that I have been running (driving rather) around like a chicken with it's head cut-off. I am ready for a break. LUCKILY, a lot of things just ended last week and I am getting my wish. My schedule is all of the sudden clear. Okay, well, not clear, but a lot less busy than it has been.
I hope to catch up on here with lots of fun going-on's in the Collette Household recently.... because we have been having lots of that, busy or not.
ALSO! I get to go visit my sister in Vegas in 1 week! I am beyond excited and ready for a much needed break. I can't wait. Until next time...

I COMPLETELY hear ya!!! Its been the EXACT same around here lately!! PS... Happy Birthday to Magnus today:)
I think everyone completely understands! A couple weeks ago, I insisted on getting my hair done one day because I just needed something for ME! Something to make me feel good! I can't even imagine all the activities! i only have two kids in activities now and it is already crazy. It is good for you to take time for yourself now and then!
:)
I hope Vegas is fun!! I hear you on the nights out...and the relaxing!
AMEN! It's so funny you just wrote a post on this because I was just talking about this, this week! I really don't know what I'm going to do when I have to run more than jut malarie around! I can't wait til you come, I really do want to drive down for the day to go to lunch! Plus, I've had an envelope sitting here for 3 weeks needing to be mailed to you...so maybe I'll just hand it to you :)
