I think that's normal, especially when you've just had the most amazing time. Cheer up soon because those sunflowers are some gorgeous beauties. And I betcha that Alex and Max will come home from school soon bursting with excitement from something -- maybe a new friend, a new project, or maybe just because the school burned down and has to close for a week or two? :-) Just kidding, but hopefully they'll get used to the back to school routine quickly and this will all be a vague memory.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kind words, as always it's such a treat to come over here and visit.Tamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06655631671353374029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-25597816991723874472007-09-11T07:51:00.000-07:002007-09-11T07:51:00.000-07:00*Blushing* So glad you're so happy with your strawberry totebag, dear Natalie! Your kindness and gratitude here warms my heart more than I can say--thank you, my friend! This is such a SUPER NICE post. Great to hear all that's happening. Back-to-school is always tough...hopefully by Christmas the boys will be sulking less ;o) And yes, you mustn't forget yourself in all this. I love your analogy with alley way flowers. Think sunflower, think butterfly even...think love... :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))Tracyhttp://pinkpurl.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-27106984020917693122007-09-10T16:20:00.000-07:002007-09-10T16:20:00.000-07:00The Style Guide where I work advises you NOT to hyphenate "anally retentive" if you say, "The principal at our school is anally retentive." BUT you should hyphenate it if you say, "The principal at our school is an anally-retentive son-of-a-gun." PS I wrote the Style Guide based on the style of medical textbooks and journals. Naah, I made it just like the last place I worked so I won't forget when to hyphenate. You are VERY nice, why do you hang around with me???Anna Bananahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10824356086811880655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-8008492984167153502007-09-10T10:53:00.000-07:002007-09-10T10:53:00.000-07:00Hi Natalie...<BR/><BR/>A big congratulations on your "Nice Matters Award", and you know...nice does matter.
