I'm looking out my window here at work. The sun is coming up, the leaves are moving slightly, it's just under 70', there isnt a cloud in the sky (as my son would say, "they're all hiding...sneaky clouds.") Anyway, can you hear the breeze and gentle music????? What the HELL am I doing here?!?! sigh. I can picture myself walking around a botanical garden or hiking somewhere just at my own pace and taking pictures of beautiful things. I need a vacation so bad. Did I share that recently one of my childhood friends (38 yo) had a heart attack and passed away 2 weeks ago? Yet again I ask.....what am I doing here? Sometimes it feels like you run the treadmill until you're time is up. I know this isnt all of it. I'm a mom and thats an important job and I LOVE being a mom, I DO enjoy what I do here at Childhelp, but all work and no play is making Amy a very tired tired girl. Somewhere, I forgot to play. I'm trying to get back to that.
SO, I said a break to daydream.... If I could snap my fingers and go somewhere, where would I be? Lying on a boat feeling the rock of the waves? Casually walking as I took pictures of beautiful things? Swinging in a hammock while the wind gently blows my hair? Most days I'll tell you I love my life, but right now (sitting here looking out the window longing for a day of relaxation) I'd take any combination of the above. I'd be content to lay in a field somewhere for a few hours. Maybe it's the need to take off the mantle of responsibility for a few hours that I'm longing for.
is a vacation feasible? possible? soon? I hope so!
ReplyDeleteI TOTALLY know the feeling. Though, I do get to get outside, I have to fight my kids to stay there (and they aren't even allowed to watch tv?! weird kids?) and of course it's not usually stuff I would be doing to relax. A vacation sounds SO nice....and to think we haven't even started the house hunt thing yet....yikes. I hope you get some down time soon (you so deserve it)....and let me live through you vicariously.
ReplyDeletelol :) which part would you be living vicariously? the house hunt or the vacation? Either way I hope you're not disappointed. Where were you planning on buying??
