Once you return from your vacation, how do you go about settling back into your normal routine? I'm finding it hard to even get caught up on the laundry let alone do everything else!

It usually takes me days to get through the accumulation of emails on my PC let alone anything else, and there's just my husband and me at home. If you have children it must be a nightmare as you have washing, drying, ironing, cooking and housework on top of that. Just do the basics until you get caught up!

I am the same way! It is tough, you almost need a vacation from your vacation. You should really plan 1 down day to get things done. You will have to grocery shop, do laundry, and just relax.

For me, when I get back from vacation I usually give myself at two days to get back on track. If my vacation is a week, then I'll apply for 1 week + 2 day leave from work. Get all the laundry done, put all the items back into where they belong and yes a trip to the supermarket. The first day home is going to be pretty hectic, especially when you're the only one running all the tasks. Sometimes I spread whatever needs to be done into those two days. If I manage to get it all done on the first day, then yahoo then second day I'm going relaxing. Another holiday.
