vacation
i have come to the realization that i haven't had a vacation since 1999. oh, unless you count the hospital and recuperation time from the stroke last year.
my husband takes little "trips" all of the time with his friends. today i told him that i was going to the beach BY MYSELF next week. he then had the audacity to say " well, that's when i'm taking off for that golf tournamant". i saId " i don't care what arrangements you have to make for ashley, i am going, and that's the end of it". he then says " well, i understand, you just do what you have to do".
SO, at the end of next week, i am pointing my vehicle south and heading to the coast. i will not have my cell on, i will not have internet access, and i will not be reachable. i will not answer any pesky work related questions, will have no clients to hound me everyday, no meals to cook for others, no house cleaning to do, no rides to give, no school projects to shop for, and no annoying husband to worry about.
i will take walks on the beach at night, excersize in the gym, swim in the pool during the day, and relax in the hot tob at night. i will sleep until i wake up. i will order room service and rent pay per views. i will keep the DO NOT DISTURB sign on my door. i will sit on the balcony at night and listen to the gulf. i hope there's a storm at night to marvel over. i will be at peace with the earth and myself.
it will only be for a few days, but what a glorious retreat it shall be. i am so excited about it that i can barely contain myself.
