Yesterday, I spent the day at basket bingo to benefit my neighbors (If you haven't read about them yet, their house burnt down and they lost two of their 4 little girls to the fire.). Thanks to so many amazing donations, the bingo was looong, with tons of prizes, door prizes, and about 50 raffles as well. I did not win anything at all, but I was happy to support the cause. The bingo event raised $15,000 for the Lillard family relief fund, so it was worth every dime I spent.
Chris is off this week, and I am feeling the need to just get some Spring cleaning done. When I sit down to try to write a post, I feel like this....
tired, overwhelmed, and ready to crash. So I am listening to my body, and taking the week off from blogging.
Oh, and on a side note, do you see all of that ugliness in the background.... soon it will be no more. Not sure when exactly, but soon....
See you next week! Maybe by next week it will start to feel like Spring around here.

Glad you are listening to your body!! Hope you can fit in some R & R time in addition to the spring cleaning:)! Enjoy the week.
Girl--good for you!! We all need that from time to time! Enjoy! (Side note: I really LOVE spring cleaning..doing some today!)
Hope you feel better soon.
Cassie,
Get some rest, warm up, and come back rejuvenated! I also have Raynaud's and know that when you find yourself in the wrong type of situation, there's very little you can do; in the winter I carry "hand warmer" packets in my purse / pocket, just in case ... they don't prevent an attack but they can get the circulation moving quicker. Take good care. Robin
You look kinda pitiful--do you want me to come take care of you? I make a mean chicken soup!
Rest up, Cassie! You deserve it. I've been thinking about the Lillard Family a lot lately. You have such a wonderful community! I'm sure they are receiving so much support.
Good for you! Enjoy your break!!
Good for you Cassie! My hubby and I were just talking about how important it is for me to remember to take care of myself and our home. I think that since I work at home painting furniture, I often feel guilty if I'm not painting or blogging about it. I hope you get a lot accomplished this week - even if the biggest thing you accomplish is getting a lot of rest!
Take care of yourself my friend and enjoy your week! We will be here when you are ready to come back. So exciting about the changes a comin' in your kitchen!
Enjoy the break mamma!
Aw, I feel the same way too! Get some rest....:)
I can't imagine working two days at the barn. I am pooped after just the one day!!! Feel better because we are on for Wednesday.
rest up lady! sometimes you just need to!
You do look tired! Get some rest friend! So glad to hear that the benefit went well and raised some good money for them. Enjoy your time and excited to see what you do with the kitchen!
Good for you Cassie! Have a wonderful week!

I knew we had more in common then painted furniture. I too have raynauds. I am so glad that you r taking
week off. Dont spring clean. Have fun with your hubby.
So happy to hear that so much was raised for you neighbors. I can't even imagine what they are still going through. Have a well deserved rest. For some reason I'm extremely sleepy today. Like I took something, but I didn't!
Enjoy your week off, my friend!! You are a trooper. And very kind to help support your neighbors. I hope the barn sale was successful. I had a slow Saturday at the shop. It was very cold.

Have a good break and take care of yourself Cassie!
Glad you're taking some time to rest--you amaze me with all you do! Enjoy your time.
So envious you're spring cleaning - seriously! Give me some windex, blast the music, open my windows and get the place back on track - it's so overdue! Enjoy your week off! :)
Hang in there, girl. Hope you gets tons done.
Enjoy your week off! That is an awesome amount raised for the Lillard family, too.

P.S. I have Raynaud's, too and it has been so bad in my right hand these last few weeks. Hope you're feeling better.
Rest well and enjoy your week.
I hope you get some rest, my Cassie! Take care of yourself and I can't wait to hear more about your kitchen makeover! Who-hoooooo!!!
Maybe you are coming down with something. Anyway, it's good to take some time off and just chill.
How sad about the family and the fire. My heart goes out to them.
XO,
Jane
Get some much needed rest....I have the same syndrome. I have mitts that I heat in the microwave for my hands & electric blanket for the bed.
Love your blog!!
Get some rest friend!
Rest up (or clean, whatever!) and see you next week :)
It's great to take a break when you're feeling that way. Once you're rested up, I can't wait to see the cupboard transformation (I have a similar project that needs tending to)!
Love you friend. You are always go go go and definitely deserve a break! Miss u!
Enjoy your time of rest! Then, I can't wait to see your kitchen! Life to the full, Melissa @ DaisyMaeBelle
enjoy your week off, get some rest and I hope warm weather is right around the corner.

Good for you! Make sure to put the feather duster for a while to watch an entire season of one of your favorite shows.
Enjoy your rest.....cause those cabinets are going to take it out of you....whenever you decide to tackle them!
Rest up. And by rest up, I mean get to cleaning your house and then head over and do mine. I'm a good blog friend.
I think you are so wise to realize that you need a break, rest up and thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it!
xoxoxo I am proud of you for doing the right thing and thinking about your body and how you feel. That is so important. Love you!
(& I didn't know that you had Reynaud's....boo on that :( )
Stay home, relax and rest!
Get those toes cozy and warm.
Take care and see you next week.
Glad you are taking some time off for yourself Cassie! You are on the go constantly! Hope you are able to get some R & R in between your spring cleaning.
Good for you! You'll get SO much accomplished without having to think about blogging! Enjoy your time off!
Good for you Cassie!! Rest up and you'll be all refreshed when you come back!! X
Here is to a wonderful week of rest and relaxation!! Take care, Caroline
Get lots of rest!
Get your must needed rest and enjoy your time with your man :) xo Kristin
Good for you for listening to your body and taking care of yourself. You deserve it!
I feel your pain. Rest. Relax. Breath :)
Enjoy some time off - I'll do the same...btw Stylish Patina store in Falls Church is great, hope you can see it some time soon.
You deserve the time off! I hope you start to feel better soon! :)
Sounds like you deserve a week to relax. You enjoy it and put those feet up! That's an order.
Girl you need a break!!! So good to listen to your body and slow down….for yourself and your family. Enjoy a little time off! (((hugs)))
I had the urge to hop in a rocking chair with you on my lap and sing Go To Sleep My Baby. Have a good week, and come back awake.
Bliss
I have Raynauds too! It seems like once it sets in there is so little to do to bring back the blood flow. Seems to take a while. Bah.
Rest up!
Good for you - enjoy your time off!!
Rest, rest, rest!!! That's an order! You better not come back and tell us the 101 things you did this week! Rest means rest! I'm not kidding girl!
Good for you! Enjoy your time off and we'll see you again soon.
Get some rest! Do nothing for a while!
Take care of yourself Cassie - see you in a week :)
You look cute even when you're tired! Have a great week off! I'll miss you!
That's completely amazing, I'm so so glad that family is getting some help from the community, I'm sure they still need a lot more! I think you definitely deserve a week off lady, take advantage!
Have a great break!
That is awesome about the bingo night! What a great success! Enjoy your week off of course now it is almost over. Hope it is going well.
Rest up and take it easy...you have been so busy!
Cassie, when Barnara Barry spoke at the Design Blogers conference whe swept me away. One of the passages she read from her book had to do with the dance we do when we write...or paint or work on something creative. Makes the coffee, weed the garden, clean the sock drawer, putter around...all things which could be misinterpreted as "procrastination" but really are actually PART of the process, these seemingly meaningless actions lead you to inspiration. Inspiration does not come from staring at a screen. It comes from living. Just live your life and then the blogging will be an extension of that and the breaks will not even need to be explained....enjoy some Spring!!!
Have a fun week off - see you soon!
Kelly
Enjoy your week off! I think I have looked exactly like your picture before and you are so smart to listen to your body! Thanks for your sweet comment on my animal print chair, too, btw. I cannot believe that about your neighbors...how awful...is there somewhere where I can donate? We lost our house in a fire growing up...literally had nothing, but thank God we all made it out alive. My heart breaks reading about others who do not have the same outcome. I would love to help. ;) Jesse @ Scout & Nimble
Hope you were able to recharge and rest and catch up a little, Cassie! I'm just now catching up on my blog reading after being gone for a week, so I feel ya!
See you soon ~ xo Heidi
