away

I am going away for the weekend to a retreat center in the mountains. I can’t wait! My children and dog have made me look all the more forward to it today with their unbelievable behaviour. Generally, I wouldn’t change my life but I do need a break from it now and then. I need a few days where people don’t need me. Where my efforts are actually noticed and even appreciated. Where I put something down and it is still there when I return for it. Where the Christmas decorations stay on the tree and are not eaten by the dog or smashed by the kids. Where I have adult conversation and don’t have to wipe anyone’s bum. Where I get to be me instead of Mommy or wife. I miss me.

So, happy birthday to me.

Yeah, I’m feeling sorry for myself.
