Many Little Links: The Vacation Jet Lag Edition

We were away from home for 11 days on vacation. We have now been home for more than two weeks. But, you know what? I still feel like I'm on some kind of vacation jet lag. It's like I just can't get caught back up on things.

Do you ever feel that way after an extended amount of time away from home?

I thought I would catch up on some of my computer tasks while on vacation, such as emails and blogging, but, instead, I'm behind. (And, this feeling isn't helped by my constant yawning this morning.)

While I desperately try to wake up and really get going today, I'll share some links that I enjoyed from last week:

I hope you get caught up quicker than I did! My son made this comment about our laundry room last week..."If you fall down in here you wouldn't even get hurt!" It has gotten back to normal, but it always takes time!!!

We've been home for exactly one week and we still are not back to normal. It doesn't help that I ended up hospitalized and having laparoscopic surgery during the latter part of our California adventure.

That vacation picture is way too beautiful. Not fair! I'm going to look at it often and pretend that I am there.
