If only the paychecks kept coming, but alas they don’t. So vacation is over and its time to go back to work.
At our dinner table we usually take bets to guess how many emails are waiting for me upon my return. True to form my husband texted me with his guess–330, he was only about 100 off. Grand total waiting in my inbox 422! I was in mail jail yet again. That’s when you can read your mail, but can’t reply or create new emails until you delete emails. It’s a not a fun circumstance, because of course you don’t want to delete anything important. So it usually takes several hours upon return from vacation to get my out of jail card issued.
The only solution I see….is no more vacations…..do you think that would work for you….ugh….I didn’t think so…oh well I was only trying to help….
Love ya,

I totally understand the email overload. Even when I take the weekend off my mailbox is overflowing. I don’t know what will happen when we leave for vacation.
Happens to me too. The biggest problem for me is the thousands of spam comments that I have to filter through!
Haha- I shut off my email when I go away for a week. Imagine the horror on returning!
Ugh – I always hate that – I haven’t even been on vacation and I have an email jam in my inbox so I totally feel your pain.
It’s nice to take a break but can definitely be hard to come back from!
