Time to stop and smell the roses

This month has been super crazy. Returning from my convalescence and getting right back into the swing of things has been quite the challenge. My turn around has climbed up yet again which I really hate. And I've been trying to keep up with convos and emails. If I have not gotten back to you, please be patient as I work my way to you.

I ran into a bit of a snag after my recovery. One of my incisions had reopened (yuck and ouch!) and I was ordered by my dr to slow down, but that just seemed impossible. So instead, I limited the amount of time and work I put into my business the past couple weeks. Working specific business hours instead of the usual working from the moment I wake and staying up late after everyone's asleep thing. Of course that makes TAT go longer unfortunately. Then I began to pick up the pace after recovering from that incident. Then last week we lost a member of our family, one of our dogs is gone and we have been devastated beyond words. Having 4 kids and explaining the loss to them was so hard. My 11 year old took it the hardest and is still having a hard time. It has now been a week since we lost him. Our other dogs are so sad that they mope around and are not even eating. Here we are trying to console ourselves, each other and our furbabies. Honestly, I don't even know what to do when the others won't eat. :-(

I think we tend to forget just how much of a life we really have. We tend to do the usual family thing, work thing and so on, but we forget to stop and smell the roses, look at the beautiful blue sky and spend quality time with our loved ones. 

Well, I finally got some help here so that I *can* stop and smell the roses per se, ;-) and we should be caught up by Friday. A few of you received shipping notices but the order hadn't left yet and that was why, my deepest apologies for the delay. Those are leaving tomorrow in addition to the others we've been getting caught up on. I have to say that I truly thank you for your patience. I am including little gifts in every order received up until this the 31st (July) to thank you all for your patience. You will not be disappointed!

Thank you all again for your continued business, Debaucherous Bath wouldn't be what it is today without you.

I hope everyone has a fabulous week!
