A break from the house hunt to daydream

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.

  2. I 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.
