Put a fork in me, I'm done...

I am exhausted.  I had completely forgotten what it's like to work a 30+ hour week AND take care of a home and family.  Two years of unemployment has made me soft.

I am relieved that the weekend is here and would probably enjoy it more if it weren't a holiday weekend where I still have to be "on" and happy and social.  Really, all I want is to curl up in to a ball in my bed and turn out the light and sleep for a week.

I'm dreaming of a vacation.  If my book sells, I am SO going away for at least a long weekend someplace and you know what?  I don't think it will be Disney related!  TWIST!  I know, shocking, right?  I think I would want to go someplace and just veg for a couple of days.

If only...

I hear ya. I'm still not working (don't know if I can) but there are several agencies involved with my kids at the moment. We've been having home visits several times a week for the last couple months now, it helps but sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming.

Good luck with the book! I tried to do NANOWRIMO last year, all I managed was one scene of about three pages and then I ran out of steam. Gotta keep plugging away I guess.

Non-Disney???!!! Just kidding. I understand. I love my family, and I love Disney with them, but I have dreamed about getting away somewhere quiet (cabin? beach? Hampton Inn?) just to read, write, and watch movies - all alone - just for a day or two. :)
