The excitement of the weekend is over and so begins another week--and it's the 1st of June!
I am getting over the fact that all of the prom photos I took with my camera were overexposed and not as crisp as I would like because I did not double check my settings in the flurry of activity!
This summer is going to be crazy for me. We are putting our house up for sale, finding and buying a new house in a new town, a complete change in all of my medication that has begun with taking me off everything to detox my system and now to introduce a brand new cocktail. Oh, did I mention that hubby has not been home in 5 weeks! He will be home by the end of this week but the schedule is tight because we are listing hopefully next week, House shopping when he is away? Challenging, but with the power of the Internet and cell phones we are managing.
All that being said, I am going to take a bit of a break. Lack of design focus when my mind is going a hundred different directions and it is finally time I get serious about physiotherapy for my rotator cuff tendinitis. I am spending far too much time in pain. Which is why I am not leaving as many comments as I used to on all of your amazing blogs. So I am not gone just stepping back for a bit.
I had so many qestions about my daughter's prom hair, so here is the process..
I wanted to share this photo that my son took of his girlfriend on Sunday evening. He took it from his bike while he was riding along with her for a 20 km (12 mile) run. When I first saw it I really thought it was a Nike ad.

Take care of yourself Tracey. You definitely have your priorities in the right spot. And I would totally do the same thing with my camera. Uggh! The pictures looked beautiful to me though. What an incredible picture your son took!
You definitely have your dance card full, Tracey, and it's a good idea to take time for yourself every once in a while. I wish you luck with your house sale & hunt - are you staying within Durham? This area continues to grow SO much! I'm sure everything will work out health-wise too - I'll put in a good word ;-)
Wow ... you have a lot going on!! good luck with the sale of your home and finding a new place!! And also on the new meds!! LOVING the photos!!!!!!
Just wanted to pop along and wish you all the very best in your hectic life, and also with your health, with 3 auto-immune conditions, I have learnt along the way to have to look after my health, it's so important. God Bless you and your family in all that you do.
Take care of yourself, Tracey! I will miss seeing your amazing creations but I know you are doing the right thing. Best of luck selling your house and buying a new one. Enjoy!
LOVE you bunches! Big hugs to you, Tracey!
Tracey, take care and hope everything goes well with your new meds and house sale and hunt. Wow you have your hands full. We will miss you in blogland...
Wish I lived closer by so I could come and give you a big hug and help with something! Oh my!! You have a ton on your plate indeed! Can't be fun detoxing from the meds....but hopefully the new mix will more than compensate for it. Best of luck with the house hunting and way to keep your priorities in order - health and family first, always!!
Loved your daughter's hair and seeing the photos from grad :) Just a year away for me and I am already dreading it as I will be a wreck - a proud wreck, but an emotional wreck I am sure LOL! Hugest of ((hugs)) to you!!!
I wish you only the best, Tracey, and will be thinking of you, praying for you, and sending hugs daily.
Totally fabulous hair, Brooklyn ... which you need before a style like this is even possible.
Fantastic photo, Ben... cute girlfriend, too!

First off your daughters hair looks AMAZING! Hope she had an amazing prom! & second you certainly have to take care of your self! Take a deserving break and can't wait to see your designs when you get back:)
Oh a break sounds like just what you need. I wish you the best with your house and the new medications. Hope everything goes smoothly for you :) I thought the pictures looked lovely, but I totally understand. I've done the same thing many times ;) Hugs to you my friend! :)
Ah, if only my photo taking skills were as good as yours!:-) Loved seeing all the prom pics...thank you for sharing! House hunting can be stressful and fun, but please do take care of yourself! I'm sure all will understand. I hope the new medications will be of great help to you! I'll be thinking of you and lifting you up in prayer for improved rotator cuff and success with new medications! Take good care, hugs!:-)
So kick back, relax and take good care of yourself. We'll all be here and thinking of/praying for you. New meds can be hard, and especially so combined with stress. I know you'll find the perfect house for yourself. Rest that shoulder as much as you can too...comments can wait till you're feeling better and are settled. Take a deep breath, relax, relax, relax.... : )
Brooklyn's hair was amazing. I'm so glad you have photos of it. I'll bet she's still reliving that special night.
I'll be right here...Bev
Ugh. Good luck with the new meds regime — hope the pros get it right the first time. And yep, with all you've got going on, sounds like the perfect time for a break! Enjoy it!
Thoughts and prayers go out to you, Tracey, as you handle all these things that life is throwing at you. Take care of yourself and the rest will fall into place. We'll miss your lovely comments and wonderfully creative cards, but we'll have all that to look forward to when you're healthy and settled.
I'm so pleased to hear that you are putting your health as a priority in your busy life, Tracey! We all know that without it, well ... we all know. You do whatever you can to bring your body into balance and rest your injury. I am keeping you in my prayers and wishing you the best of luck with the sale and the move. That's a major life-stress all by itself, without everything else on your plate. Sending love and a huge fluffy warm hug!! Mwah! Darnell
You take all the time you need Tracey. You know I will miss you, be keeping you in my prayers and looking forward to any post you feel up to doing. I thought the prom photos looked great. But then again, you had a pretty little subject to work with! Her hair was amazing, what a talented stylist!
Take care of yourself, love! We'll be here when you're ready and want to come back. Great shares today ;). Hugs!
Best of luck to you and your family, Tracey! Sounds like a very hectic summer so just remember that you come first. Hope the house plans go smoothly and that your new meds work great for you. Enjoy your well deserved break! TFS the photos of Brooklyn's hair. I've never seen anything quite so intricate and beautiful!
Wishing you a wonderful summer and good luck with your house hunting. I can't even imagine all you go through but I am always in awe of what you are able to accomplish and achieve. Love all the photos you shared, Brooklyn's hair was a masterpiece in my opinion. And I have to agree with you about the photo Ben took, it really does look like an ad for Nike!
Take care of yourself Tracey! Thinking of you and hoping that, at the very least, those meds do what they're supposed to and the physio relieves the pain. Soon. Your daughter looks gorgeous and I am so envious of her beautiful hair! Good luck with the house!! As for the pic your son took, I didn't realise that it wasn't an ad until I read comments others have written! Wow! Talent abounds in your family! Take care!
Busy, indeed! Though, I hope you still find some time to enjoy Summer! ;) Best wishes with your house hunting!
Take care of yourself, Tracey! I'll miss seeing you around more, but completely understand. Lots of hugs! xo
Tracey, you know you'll be missed, but taking time to deal with all the 'newness' coming your way is exponentially important! As always, your ability to 'rise above' challenges is an inspiration! Wishing you all the best; looking forward to seeing you once you're relocated, rested, relaxed and rejuvenated! Mega hugs coming your way!
Hugs~c00
Well, I'm going to miss you very much, but you have your priorities in order, and that's what counts! Please take good care of yourself and your beautiful family while you go through the next few months of challenges!
