Siesta Time

18 Comments

Full time job + part time ‘job’ + shift work + family + very athletic kids + hobbies and other interests = very, very busy bordering on chaotic.

Thank goodness for decent time management skills!

After discovering what it is to be the parent of very active and athletic kids (our kids are both headed to the Provincials in their respective sports) and trying to juggle it all with both hubby and I as full time shift workers, I’m in serious need of a siesta.

And so, I am taking the summer off from blogging in order to spend more time relishing the gifts of my life.  I’m still working through the summer months and because summer leads to some pretty interesting police work I will likely have lots to share when I return to you in early September.

Until then play, train and work hard.  And above all, enjoy your summer and be safe.

Sandra

    Hi Sandra,

    I totally agree with the summer bringing our profession the most extreme an interesting experiences. I hope that you’ll still find the time to give body and mind the rest they need, and most of all: STAY SAFE and play fair! Fair is when us cops come back after shift unharmed.

    See ya on the other side of this summer season!

    Dear Sandra,
    I will miss you, naturally! However, besides being a busy time I think summer takes some of the sap out of people (that may be b/c I am from the South, tho.)

    Renewal is essential for a writer to write. Have a wonderful summer. No sense doing otherwise!

    Be here when you get back,
    Ann T.

    Enjoy the rest of your summer. It will be gone before you know it and then your demanding blogging audience will be here waiting for your fresh perspectives.

    I use to do some K9 Security work, and now do Mobile Patrol and Alarm Response work and find your articles and website very interesting and informative. Thanks for taking the time to write great articles. After graduating from Police Foundations 2 yrs ago, I also thought the K9 unit with the Police Service would be a good unit to join someday, and will still continue to pursue the career path.

    I look forward to reading future articles etc, on this website.

    Have a great summer!

    enjoy your time behind the thick squiggly blue line that always moves when pushed.

    Happy summer!

    Hi Sandra,

    Just wanted to say I can’t believe it’s going to be September soon! I am looking forward to reading your posts again! After reading your blog about the kong toys, I bought a Kong toy for my dog and he loves it!!

    Hope you are having a fantastic summer!

    I really hope you post something about the recent botched rescue of the hostages in the Philippines situation. God, that was so bad that it was agonizing to watch.
