lost in the sauce....

....that's how I feel.

I have a million things to do and not enough time to do them in. I forgot my dad's 60th birthday. I have a basement full of boxes that STILL need to be unpacked. I have a pile of paperwork with needs to be addressed. And my kids start school in five days, but have no school supplies, no new clothing, and no backpacks that are not in ill repair.

Ah, so why am I blogging? Because I need a break. Oh, and I have no energy because we are doing a 21-day purification diet and it makes me strangely ALERT, while physically sluggish. Weird.

You can read about how the purification is going by clicking here. But that's mostly a page for those of us completing it together to share recipes and issues, so it's perhaps not of that much interest to those of you scarfing on McD's and enjoying your morning tea or coffee. Ahhhhh......

I should give myself a break because I accomplished several things today that have been alluding me completely for a long time. I finally mailed those boxes that have been packed, addressed, and ready to go for roughly a month. I did four loads of laundry and looked for my cell phone (without success) for about an hour. I also cut about twenty million vegetables. Is that the daily torture of vegetarians around the world? I wonder...

I have a ton of pictures and much to update about. But because I decided to allot the week before the funeral to prepare Blake and Nadia and just do whatever we all needed, I got behind on the rest of life. I have learned that the world does NOT stop just because mine does. Eh, we are well. And I just have to catch up now! So, do look forward to some pics from blueberry picking, and some other stuff I can't recall because, again, I am lost in the sauce. I feel mentally detached. But I will get back on track... don't you worry.

We are going camping this weekend, so perhaps my next (illustrated) post will be when we return. Have a lovely holiday weekend.
