A Little Break

Hi guys. I know I haven't blogged since Thursday. Just wanted to let you know, I think I need a few days of blogging vacation. I'm still planning on doing the giveaway tomorrow, so if you haven't entered, please do! I'm so proud of what an environmentally conscious group you all are!

I'm so sorry for the temporary abandonment. I need to get my head in order. Ever get so overwhelmed and frustrated at certain situations that you just need to bawl for a little while?? I had one of those moments yesterday. Like a good audible, gasping, cathartic cry. Thank goodness my office has a door! I keep trying to look on the bright side and stay positive, as a NICE gal would, but it's almost like I couldn't withhold this burst of melancholy yesterday.

There are times I'd love to pack my belongings in a giant red handkerchief, tie it to a stick, and give being a hobo a shot. But I think I have too many hair care products.

Stay tuned, I'll be back!

That was totally my week last week. It's good to take a little break every once in awhile to get yourself re-centered! Hugs to you!!

Brandi said...

I've been there too, especially in the last four weeks. I've had days where I just get so overwhelmed, I feel completely unable to do everything. Take the time you need, relax, figure out a plan, and we'll all be here for support if you need it.

I COMPLETELY understand. You take your time, sweetie. We'll be here when you get back.

(And if you DO decide to go hobo, let me know - I've been considering that for YEARS. Heh.)

So much love to you! And if you decide on the hobo thing, give me a ring. : ) j

Heidi said...

You poor thing! If that cry wasn't cathartic enough, perhaps this?

When you feel that nobody loves you, nobody cares for you, and everyone is ignoring you, you should start asking yourself: Am I TOO sexy?

I don't know where it came from, but it always makes me smile. Feel better!

Katie said...

I know how you feel! I always joke to my hubby that I'm moving to an island and painting sea shells while drinking cold margaritas. Hope things go better for you soon!

Melissa, I had a similar "moment" this week but for different reasons (health issues), and I decided that I am ONLY going to focus on what makes me happy. Nothing else is allowed! Take your time and take care of yourself. We love you, and just remember when you're down, that you inspire so many people to be NICE everyday that otherwise may not have. When you do I hope that makes you smile. :)

I love it when people are honest like this. It reminds me that I can be human too. Thank You! Love Love

Paper Squid said...

I completely understand! I had a big big hard moment of intense emotion & crying (I was just very overwhelmed) a week or 2 back. But they're honest and necessary sometimes! And now it's better.
Love your blog. :)

We're pulling for your Melissa and sending you our virtual smiles! Just remember, when things feel overwhelming and too big to conquer, you can overcome it one step at a time. :)

Aww, I'm sorry you're stressed out. Life can be really hard sometimes, I've discovered. I sometimes wish I could just drop everything and get away, too. Maybe do get away. I go to my favorite bookstore when I feel like that and immerse myself in another world with a book. It's a nice break.
