A Little Relaxation

Every now and then go away,

have a little relaxation,

for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.

Happy Memorial Day.

I hope you got to enjoy some rest this holiday weekend!

The kids and I spent ours sitting by the lifeguard chair…

…making faces out of sand…

… getting sand on faces.

The water was (mind-numbingly, ankle-numbingly) cold but that doesn’t stop this crazy train.

‘Cause, you know. It just makes the sand feel so much warmer.

I really needed the space and the sunshine to clear my head, but now it’s back to work 🙂

How was your Memorial Day?
