Holidays - waste of time?

The past few months have been pretty stressful for us in one way or another. Come to think of it, there always seems to be something going pear-shaped or some narrowly averted catastrophe! It's just how my life is. It has always been that way and will most likely continue in that fashion.

It's hard, but also can be fun, thanks to the twisted sense of humour my entire family has which enables us to get through just about anything - and we have, believe me! There are stories within my family that are very, very true, but at the same time make us all out to be fantasists because things like that just don't happen in ordinary families, do they? Is your curiosity aroused? Well, I could tell you, but I would actually have to kill you!!! ;)

April came around and we were off for a week in England to see family and friends. Do you know, we had a great time! The ice hockey was good craic as always and the family were fantastic. We even visited an aunt I haven't seen since my teenage years and it was fantastic to get to know her a little. We went ten-pin bowling, cinema, out for lunch etc. You know how it is.

Then, today, I had to go back to work. I'm as stressed as I have ever been and am wondering if the last couple of weeks was a dream. Was it? Or was the holiday itself a complete waste of time? The only reason I know it wasn't was that I got to catch up with some people from my mission days. Oh, how I love them!
