Gayla – that sounds like quite a mother.

But it also sounds like even more reason to take a break.

Blogging from the backyard sounds great. As soon as the weather gets a bit nicer, that's 100% my plan as well!

Ben ~ I grew up with a mother that fluttered around like a butterfly on acid. Even to this day, at 62 with a full lower leg replacement and serious head injury a few years ago, she can still run circles around me.

Every time I think about taking a ME day, I can hear my mom saying “there's plenty of time for rest when you're dead.” LOL

God love my mom!

I did just get a laptop, so in the near future I'll be blogging from the backyard in a chase lounge – that's probably the best I can do for rest.

Dave,

Coffee or Red Bull aren't a substitute for a break, but you can drink them while on a break, right?

And for BlackBerry users, it doesn't count if you turn off your email client only to have your BlackBerry buzzing right next to you when new email comes in. How sick is that? Working on the computer but checking email on the BlackBerry. And I consider myself productive?!?! *ouch*
