Vacation all I ever wanted - April 6, 2008
One of my favorite Go-Go’s songs. I need a vacation. I haven’t taken a real one since I can’t rememeber. I don’t mean a day or two in Tahoe or the coast or visiting my sister. I mean a get the hell out of Dodge vacation. I thought for a long time, why do I need one? I have a decent house, I have a pool and hot tub. Why do I need a vacation? So I can rest! It has finally hit me up side the head. This chick is tired and needs to get away. Like all of us, I end up taking care of the entire world before I take care of myself. I need some time without a phone, email, texting - anything. I need to NOT have to make breakfast, lunch, dinner and clean up the mess afterwards. So why don’t I go away? I can’t. I don’t have a job- I student teach for free for 5 months. That ends at the end of May but working for free is hurting my bank account. Actually, I have to pay to work for free. The only vacation I am going to get is unplugging the phones, shutting everything off, and ordering take out. There is no room service here though. And no one is going to bring me drinks by the pool. SIGH! I have to talk to honey to see if he will work OT so we can go away before I have a nervous breakdown. Of course, no going away until the end of May. I am tired of all the hoops just to teach. I am glad I didn’t know about them before hand or else I don’t think I would have done this.
I am going to rest my head. Good night sweet chicks.
Yep dear bobbie - you need a rest! Hopefully your man will be able to swing a little extra sweat and give you both a much deserved rest.
I’m glad you didn’t know either - you have so much to share and the kids would miss out horribly without you!

Man oh man, I’m with you on that one. I was just saying the same thing (sorta) on my blog. I haven’t been away in years, neither has my husband. We already work overtime just to get by. Really have to do some creative thinking. Hope you get your vacation soon!
xooxxo bobbie - right back at ya!
this wasn’t your average nacho. we’re talkin’ shredded chicken, extra white cheese sauce, extra guac. but hey - why skimp on anything? i had already spent 10 hours drinking beer.
back on the wagon today. thanks for your comments.
i hope you can get the hell out of dodge. even if it’s a day at the park, or a hike.

I too hope fervently that you get a break. If you can get the keys of an empty friends house, just buy some good food, drinks, maybe a book and crash there without entertaining any communication.
Or if afforable, go for a day in a spa.
Please think of something and run away and hide for a day at least. How about calling sick and staying home when your BF is away at work? That could be a little break too?
Please excuse my loony ideas.
Lots of love and a big hug,
iniya
Where you at Ms. Bobbie!
Time to come back! Miss ya!
