Have been struggling with the same problem too for the last years. It seems I am finally reaching a point though where I simply accept that is just the way it is and that I obviously am not made for a crafting and blogging routine. Gladly design team duties still bring that much needed schedule and at least a bit of routine. I think I just love too many different things and being social but also being alone in my studio - it just comes in waves. Seems I am the "waves" type. lol <br />Thanks so much for your lovely visit on my blog. You've made my day with your kind comment.

Sometimes we get so caught up in so many things, our minds and bodies need to step back,and just chill- do something for ourselves!<br /><br />So reading that hubby is off to cardio rehab,does that mean he is coming along and doing well? I sure hope so.<br /> Sending hugs and lots of love to you Tracey! xoxoJackie PNealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725240244358547846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144429987818843457.post-33335520188642480182019-07-01T20:15:47.443+01:002019-07-01T20:15:47.443+01:00Oh, Tracey, I understand, sweet girl!

Hope things quieten down a bit for you soon. I hope your hubby will benefit from his cardio rehab. My brother in law did it and it was brilliant. Thank you for your visit and your commiserations re my finger - horror story about your daughter!! Mine will heal eventually but it's going to have to wait for the nail to regrow and that is going to take weeks. Thank goodness for baby wipes because I'm finding it very hard to wash my hands at the moment and have a rubber glove that I can wear when doing things.<br /><br />Glad you approve of my "chariot" (much better name than a buggy which is what some of my friends keep calling it!!) and Lol at your Mad Max comment haha!! I read someone's experience with theirs online and he said he had to leave home 10 mins earlier each day because people kept stopping him to chat about it - they certainly do turn heads! My hubby is looking for an umbrella for me now. The new kitchen gadget is installed in its new home and I expect I shall cease to notice it after a while, but for now it looks huge! I've washed all the parts and read the book and I'm now ready to start. Should be fun! You can do so many things with it.<br /><br />If the weather is fine tomorrow and I'm not too tired, I'm taking a trip on my Mad Max machine on my own! I want to go down to our local shopping centre.<br /><br />Happy WOYWW,<br />Shoshi #28Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144429987818843457.post-26854067698302572202019-06-26T22:00:34.451+01:002019-06-26T22:00:34.451+01:00I hope you hang on to a little "me time"...I hope you hang on to a little "me time".
