I miss you, too. And I would like to have a vacation from responsibilities for a while. The kids and I are going up to the lake this weekend and next. My folks will be there probably both weekends. Rob will be there Labor Day weekend. I know it's a long drive, but if you have any interest in joining us, or combining it with a trip to see your sister or something, please do! We would love to have you stay with us for a day, or overnight, or for a couple nights. :)
You've had a number of vacations this year, but they were all filled with activity. (Well at least the ones I have heard about) What you need to do is sneak a couple days off w/ no big plans. The stuff around the house will always be there.
I didn't plan it, but today has turned into a day of slack and doing nothing (including taking a "sick" day from work). Slept in, took a nap, have colored some dinosaurs, surfed the net, and pretty much lack the ambition to do anything. But I sense the nagging presence of laundry, a messy bedroom, a stack of random papery things that need to be done. But it has been a faint nagging... and it feels good!
When you're on an airplane and turbulence is hitting it and the pilot releases the oxygen mask they make you put on your mask first.
Sometimes taking care of yourself is the only way you can make sure you are taking the best care of others. Give yourself the rest you need, Ann. Don't feel guilty about it.
