Vacation

Since having Max 4 and a 1/2 years ago, I don't think that it can be said that I've had a vacation. Certainly not in the commonly defined sense of the word. I've had time of from work. Even two or three weeks at a time!! But there is no vacation from "mummy". And no vacation from "wife". And no vacation from "friend". And no vacation from "sister".

Not that I necessarily want a vacation from any of those things... I'm mostly trying to say that as with many things, I've had to redefine what a vacation is. It really is about not being at work. it's about doing laundry without a kid clinging to my leg. It's about the 5 hours between dropping the kids off at daycare and then picking them up again later. Squeezing in a dentist appointment, a haircut, grocery shopping, and banking - all accomplished completely alone!!!

I've been on vacation for almost a week, and I'm ready to have a vacation from my vacation now...

Talk to you soon.
