I was on vacation for the last six days and my inbox is PISSED at me. It appears that there is no end to it. I was even allowed an hour a day to try sort things out while I was gone and pass on the most vital emails.........it didn't work.
So here I am on a saturday, in the office trying to catch up. If you sent me something in the last week and I haven't responded, it's because I didn't care.......haha!
Hopefully I will be able to dig out by Monday or Tuesday. I thought I would be refreshed but apparently Kelan doesn't understand the concept of a relaxing vacation just yet at one year old. He had all new stuff to terrorize and kept us on our feet pretty much the whole week. :-)
Friends, followers, and connections are the way of the future.

Sorry, Bob:) I look forward to hearing form you when you dig out - I am glad you got to go on vacation!
Good for Kelan! He's learning quickly! Hope you all had a great time.
Bob,
There's always Sunday!!! Paybacks from vacation are brutal...be comforted in this...how important can those e-mails be??? No Sonics have been traded to the Sixers...or have they??? Thanks, Fran
Bob - glad you had a vacation - you will catch up - I have been very good and have no issues :)
Sounds like Kelan got your money's worth on the vacation - got any pics? - oh, probably too busy!
Just wait Bob...it get's even better during the terrible 2's, then 3 yo. soccer practice, or little league, or football, etc...yes they do start them really young now...LOLOL...my question can wait until your more caught up. What's vacation? :-)
Vacation? Wow.....parents don't get vacations....they just take their traveling circus on the road....welcome home......
Bob- It sounds like Kelan is staking his territory in your life- Isn't it wonderful- He will set your priorities for you!
Bob, vacation? Real men don't need vacations! Just kidding. I'm glad to be able to take the day to go tubing tomorrow on the Shenandoah River with some friends. August has been incredibly busy. I thought everyone is supposed to be on vacation -- seems like everyone wants to buy a house! That's a good thing, not a bad thing.
Bob, I hate when that happens with my InBox. I'm the worst. I take my laptop with me on vacation.
What's a vacation? Hope you had a good one.
Did you come to Idaho while on Vacation?
Taking a one year old on vacation is a lot of work isn't it? I'm glad my baby is three......it's getting a little easier.
Working Saturday and Sunday? Welcome to Real Estate!!
Vacation, not when there is Active Rain to look after. lol. Hope you had a good time, now back to work.
Bob... I wanted to thank you for getting back to me. Not sure why it would take so long, when you probably only received 10 to 15 e-mails... I mean, 10,000 to 15,000 e-mails.
Seriously, and if you need some help digging out, I can help some... isn't that what AR is all about?
I can understand that! I have 3 little kids myself! 2, 5 & 8 years old.
I am still behind too on email and I was not even on vacation! IF that makes you feel any better.
Your Rainer in Tampa,
Katrina
Bob -- When the kids can amuse themselves and don't really care if you are around -- you know, teens -- your vacations will get more relaxing. When I got back from my very relaxing one last week, I had the post-vacation blues really BAD! I expect our family vacations to get quieter and quieter, though. ::sigh:: Revel in the noise, Bob.
Are you bringing the family down to DisneyWorld... I mean the NAR convention?
I hope you had a good vacation... and the only important emails are from me.
This is probably one of those times where you need a vacation from the vacation!
I am in that email queue you are desparately trying to get through...although I'm not pissed, just patiently waiting. That's the beauty of old age....you learn to patiently wait because you've raised your kids and they have taught you much...but definitely patience!
Bob that will teach you to take time off, what were you thinking ............ LOL
Seriously hope you got the rest you needed, and are fueled up for the rest of the year.
I hope you had a great time we are going to take a few days next week and where we go no computer access and no TV. What will I do?
Welcome back, Bob - or should I wait until Wednesday to wish you that in writing? Hope your vacation was good!
I hate when that happens! I remember the time I took a cruise and wanted to be reachable by my clients. I went to my cell phone company and they added some code to make my phone work globally. I checked to make sure the ship had WiFi, and thought I had everything handled. Well, my phone didn't work, the e-mail was sporadic, and I came to to find hundreds of messages waiting for me.
Even the best laid plans go go WAY off track! You have my sympathy.
I remember my first vacation with baby. Tina found markers in my purse while we were sleeping and colored the sheets. She was quiet...but messy :)
Welcome back. Listen to that email zero video a few times. That should get you moving in the right direction. Or better yet...forward them all to Jerry LOL!
I remember those "vacation" days with 2 little boys. I would be so exhausted when we returned home. Then the inevitable question would come from one or both of my little guys: "When can we go again?".
Now I wish I had those days back with them :-)
Welcome back Bob.
Bob,
I need to talk to you but will give you a few days to catch up before I add to your "laundry list".
I asked a question about a week ago but it's all figured out :)
I will trade you Kelan for son with college expenses. Baby terrorists are the best, just want you to know that and not figure it out 17 years to late :)
Well here's one more email for you PISSED in box! lol~ Welcome back!! :-)) Glad Kelan had a good time, it's really HIS vacation you know.
Welcome Back! I hope you had some rest and relaxation. I'll email you after a few days about a small issue.
Thanks!
Hey Bob hope you enjoyed your short lived vacation:) Good luck digging out of the hole.
Now you know how realtors feel that are on call 24/7. We feel for you but glad you got to go on vacation!!
I have not taken a vacation without my laptop. The thought of things piling up, will not allow me to relax.
Sorry Everyone! We hadn't taken a vacation in 3 years and I had to give him rules!! I know he missed splashin' around, so it's nice to be back. (Not to mention, it became slightly reminiscent of National Lampoon at points) Thus, I relinquish him as my hostage and turn him back over to all of you! Just play nice!
Good for you for going on vacation - but I feel your pain with the Inbox from hell! I'll be at a business meeting for the next three days and am CRINGING at the thought of what I'll return to! You do a tremendous job - sorry there are so many people screaming at you!
Take care -- hey - one day we need to finish that article! :O) Julie
Bob,
Do you use XOBNI? If not, you should really check it out. It's awesome!
Bob is there a light at the end of the tunnel yet? BTW- Isabelle is mad...she heard Kelan went away and didn't come to visit her...I would be on the lookout..she mentioned something about sending out the hitman on stewart.
No wonder you didn't answer any of mine...but heck...you just posted a post on the very subject...HA!
A Vacation....oh yea it is that time of year again :) Hope you enjoyed yours, and that little bit of time with Kelan non stop is precious, although going back to work is good too.....amazing that work can actually be a refuge from one year old antics LOL :)
I just noticed my comment above...I called you Brad...I am idiot...well, just sleep deprived...Either way, I edited comment to Bob now :)
