Jumping in!

Why is it so challenging to get back into the swing of things when you have been gone? We need that schedule to keep things running well, but letting it loose for several days makes it hard to get back on track!
I need to jump right in like kids into a pile of leaves, but I sort of want it to feel FUN!!  Then I would jump on in and not miss a beat!  Help me find the FUN in jumping back into "real life"!!

What do you do to get back into a rhythm after you've been gone for a while? I think that I just need a drill sergeant! But, please do not sign up... I want to continue to LIKE my friends!
